Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning Your Shaver

Remington recommends cleaning your shaver after every use for optimal performance.

1.Turn the shaver OFF.

2.Press the side release button to flip open the

head assembly.

3. Screens-Do not use the brush to clean the screens. Instead, blow the shavings out or rinse the screens under cold or warm water.

4.Cutters and trimmer- Use the cleaning brush

to sweep any loose hairs from the cutters and trimmers, or rinse/dunk them in cold or warm water. Do NOT use hot water.

5.After cleaning, return the

foils and head assembly to their original position on the shaver.

6. If the shaver was rinsed with water, or if you used it in the shower, hold it facing downward into the sink, and turn it on for a few seconds to dispel additional water. A gentle shake will also help.

7.To clean the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth. Do NOT use strong detergents or other chemicals.

8.To dry, wipe the surface of the overall shaver with a dry towel. Do NOT use a hairdryer or heater to dry the shaver.

Replacing Cutters And

Screens

When is it time to replace your screens and cutters?

The cutters and screens of your shaver will wear with use and eventually require replacement to maintain a close, comfort- able shave. It is very important to replace your screens and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation.

Depending on your shaving technique and habits, the screens will usually last 6 months; the cutters, 12 months. If you are replacing the cutters it’s a good idea to replace the screens at the same time.

Here are some signs that you screens and cutters need replacing:

Irritation: As screens get worn, you may notice that your skin feels more sensitive after a shave.

Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your shaver is “pulling” the hairs. Wear-through:You may notice that the cutters have worn through the screens. To prevent inadvertent damage to the cutters and screens, do not attempt to remove them from the head assembly unless you are replacing them. Removal instructions are included with the cutter and screen replacement packages.

The replacement part for the WDF-1200

&1600 is model SP-130 & SP-132. U.S. residents:

To order shaver accessories call 800.736.4648, visit www.remington-products.com or visit you local retailer.

To replace a cutter assembly that is removed unintentionally:

1.Hold the cutter in the middle. The blades will not cut your fingers, so no special handling techniques are necessary.

2.Align the cutter so the little bar on the bottom meets the opening in the clip.

3.Press down on the center of the cutter until it snaps into place. Do not push down on the ends of the cutter, as you may bend the cutter, reducing its ability to cut cleanly.

4.Do not separate the cutter’s blades from the plastic pieces they are attached to, as this may damage the assembly.
