After having pressed the lift button to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button . If status light does not shine (C&C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice.
Since the Braun 5018s will only operate cordless, battery life is particularly important. And again I must mention the older models that came with the excellent Braun hard travel case. The up and down swivel of the head that we’ve seen on all Braun models from the Series 5 and up was actually very useful in practice. On the bottom of the razor there’s the typical Braun charging port. Like all the other 2020 models, the Series 5 also has a thumb rest on the front part. Its position is just right and it’s covered in the same rubberized material.
Foil shavers like this are great at comforting the face as well. After the “Cleaning” part, the liquid lubricates the foil blades. The device dried in three hours after cleaning. I had to be extra careful while using the cartridge and installing a new variant after the previous cartridge depleted.
These are flexible along with the shaving head. If the liquid and the cleaning station aren’t enough, there’s a cleaning brush included as well. This brush is Braun’s way of going the extra mile and taking care of our hair strands. You’re getting a “Smooth” foil shaver that bridges the gap between the entry-level, beginner-friendly products and more high-end stuff from the brand.
A beep indicates that the shaver is seated correctly in the Clean and Charge Station. Remove the Clean and Charge Station display’s protective foil. To clean it effectively, you’ll need some soap and hot water. You need to know that in Braun Series 5 line, Braun has divided the models into categories which the model name started with Series 50xx and 51xx.
When an item you want is out-of-stock at the store, your shopper will follow your replacement preferences. When plugging to an electrical outlet outside North America, use a plug adapter to match the Braun Series 5 outlet’s pin configuration. Do not use this appliance with a damaged or broken foil, as serious skin injuries may occur. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
Once the item has been accepted it will be deemed to be the correct item and in good working condition. Any issues that arise after the item is signed for must be resolved through the manufacturer’s warranty. It’s a shaver that’s just above budget-friendly and is better Braun Series 5 than much cheaper models, but as mentioned above it’s a good shaver but not great. The blade head just clips off and on, easily. The blade head does come off at times when removing the foil protector cap but it isn’t much of an issue, just take the cap off with care.
To disconnect, turn all controls off, then remove plug from outlet. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Lots of consumers have been more than happy with the shaver and had no complaints at all.
