Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning your shaver

TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLEAN YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE. The cutting system of this shaver was designed to be cleaned by rinsing under warm running water or by brushing.

Cleaning your Remington® branded shaver is easy.

Open the hair pocket by pressing the release button and rotating away from the body of

the shaver. You may blow out the stubble thoroughly, or rinse the shaver head in water. Rinse both sides of the head assembly.

At Least Once a Week:

For more complete cleaning, remove the cutter retainer assembly from the hair pocket by turning the center knob approximately 1/4 turn

counter clockwise.

Hold cutter retainer

assembly as shown,

and remove head by turning approximately 1/8 turn in the direc-

tion shown. Brush clean both the head

and the cutter. Reassemble head to cutter retainer assembly by aligning and turning head 1/8 turn in the opposite direction.

Repeat this process for each of the 3 heads. Clean each head and cutter set one

at a time to

prevent mixing cutter components. (These should be kept as sets). After cleaning, place cutter retainer assembly in the hair pocket, and secure by turning center knob approximately 1/4 turn clockwise.

Caution: Never put the shaver completely under water. Do not use any aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

To clean and lubricate your shaver’s cut- ters and head assembly, apply Remington® Shaver Saver® (SP-4) Lubricant. The lubri- cant helps remove hair clippings while reducing wear. A quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver operating at peak performance.

Caution: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver is running or plugged into an electrical outlet as it may cause damage to the unit’s cutters.

Worn or damaged parts should be replaced with Remington® branded replacement parts only.

When is it time to replace your heads and cutters?

It is very important to replace your heads and cutters when necessary to insure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 12 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed.

Irritation

As the heads get excessively worn there may be some skin irritation. This would be especially noticed when applying after shave lotion.

Pulling

When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your heads and cutters.

The replacement part for this shaver is model #SP-21. U.S. residents: To order, contact us at 800-736-4648, visit us at www.remington-products.com or visit your local retailer.
