Charging

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

•Using the special cord set, connect the shaver/charging stand to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.

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

•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 50 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth.

•Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

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

Charging lights

The 3 charging lights (6) blink to indicate the charging level by thirds. When fully charged, all 3 charging lights shine permanently.

Low-charge light

The red low-charge light flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on.

The re-maining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving

Turn on the shaver («start»):

The pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face.

Trimmer:

When the long hair trimmer 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 the shaver foil and cutter block, when the replacement light (8) comes on (after about 18 months), or when the shaving parts are worn.

Cleaning

The hand-held unit should be detached from the power supply cord before cleaning. The shaver should 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, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
