by squeezing on both release buttons and pulling up from the body of the

shaver.

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 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.

Cleaning Cautions

Shaver can be placed under running water for cleaning only.

Do not use an aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

Do not remove or replace the head assem- bly while shaver is running as it may cause damage to the unit's screens or cutters.

Replace worn or damaged parts with Remington® replacement parts only.

Trimmer Care

Cleaning

1.Turn the shaver off.

2.Extend the trimmer to its maximum height by pressing the right trimmer button.

3.Use the cleaning brush to sweep off any clippings that may have accumulated

around the trimmer assembly. Using the supplied brush will enable you to get into the area between the trimmer and the shaver.

Lubricating

1.Every six months apply a drop of light machine oil one-third and two-thirds of the way along the blade.

2.Using your fingertip, spread the oil along the teeth.

3.Run the trimmer for a few seconds to distribute oil.

Replacing Cutters and

Screens

To prevent inadvertent damage to the cut- ters 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.

To replace a cutter assembly that is removed unintentionally:

1. Hold the assembly in the middle of the "T".

2. Gently slide the plastic

portion of the cutter assembly over the top of the oscillator tip.

3.Do not push downward on the ends of the cutters, as you may bend the cutter, reducing its ability to operate smoothly.

4.Do not remove cutters from the plastic pieces they are attached to, as you may damage the assembly.

When is it time to replace your screens and cutters?

Because they are subject to daily use, the cutters and screens of your shaver will wear and eventually require replacement to maintain a close, comfortable 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 your foils and cutters need replacing:

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

Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your shaver is pulling at your whiskers. Wear-through:You may notice that the cutters have worn through the screens.

The replacement for this shaver is model SP-67 (screens) and SP-69 (screens and cutters).
