Charging

The best environmental temperature for charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C and 35 °C.

•Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.

•When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours.

•The green charging light (6) shows that the shaver is being charged. When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on and off. This indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity.

•Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.

•A full charge provides up to 40 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth. However, the maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

•The red low-charge light glows when the shaver capacity has dropped below 20% provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

•If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet via the special cord set.

Shaving

Press the on/off switch (4) to turn the shaver on.

Trimmer:

When the long hair trimmer (5) is activated, it allows the controlled trimming of moustache or sideburns.

Tips for the perfect shave

•It can take up to 14-21 days for your beard to adjust to the new shaving system.

•Shave before washing your face or taking a shower, as skin tends to swell after washing.

•The drier the skin, the closer the shaving results will be.

•Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.

•To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block every 18 months or when worn.

Cleaning

The hand-held unit shall be detached from the power supply cord before cleaning. The shaver shall not be used until it has dried.

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

•Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water. A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.

•Next, switch off the shaver and press the release buttons. Remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
