Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 6)

Warning – To prevent electric shock or personal injury, disconnect the power cord from the shaver and turn the shaver off before cleaning.

For cleanliness and convenience, we recommend that you clean your shaver with water and a liquid hand soap. Regular cleaning will keep your shaver in good condition while preventing odors or bacteria from devel- oping, and maintain the cutting per- formance.

With the system outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil.

Turn the shaver on and pour some water over the outer foil.

After about 10-20 seconds, turn the shaver off.

Remove the foil frame and clean it with running water.

Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and remove the protective cap to allow the system outer foil to dry completely.

Brush cleaning

Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system

outer foil upward to remove it (see fig. 7). Remove the inner blades one at a time by grasping it firmly at both ends and pulling it straight away from the shaver (see fig. 8). Clean the outer foils, the shaver body and the trimmer with the long brush (see fig. 9). Clean the inner blades with the short brush by moving it in the direction in fig.10(A). Do not use the short brush to clean the outer foils.

Replacing shaving head components

It is recommended that you replace the system outer foil at least once a year and the inner blade at least once every 2 years to maintain your shaver ’s cutting performance.

Replacing the system outer foil (see fig. 7)

Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. To insert the new system outer foil, press down until it snaps into place.

Replacing the inner blades (see fig. 8)

Squeeze the foil frame release buttons and lift the foil frame upward to remove it. Remove the inner blade, one at a time, by grasping them firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade, one at a time, at both ends and press downward until it snaps into the shaver.
