Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Your Shaver
■Turn shaver “OFF”.
■ Press the two side release buttons to remove the head assembly.
■ Remove the foil assembly.
■To clean foils, grasp foil/ head assembly
by the ends between two fingers and tap lightly on a hard surface to remove any loose hairs. Or, you may rinse the foils under cold or warm running water.
To avoid damage to the foils, DO NOT use the brush to clean foils, nor attempt to replace or remove the head assembly while the shaver is running.
■ Use the cleaning brush to help remove any
loose hairs from the cutters and trimmers. 
You may also rinse the shaver under cold or 
warm running water, or in a basin. DO NOT use hot water.
After cleaning, replace the foils and head assembly. If rinsed with water, hold shaver facing downward into sink, and turn on for a few seconds to dispel additional water - a gentle shake will help. Wipe the surface of the main unit with a dry towel.
To clean the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth. A mild detergent may be used. DO NOT use strong detergents or other chemicals. Wipe dry with towel. DO NOT use hairdryer or heater to dry shaver.
When is it time to replace your foils and cutters?
It is very important to replace your foils and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend that the foils be replaced every 6 months and cutters be replaced every 12 months. Here are some signs of foil and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed.
IRRITATION: As the foils get excessively worn, there may be some skin irritation. This would be especially noticed when applying lotion. When the cutters wear, you may feel a sense of “pulling” and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your cutters and foils. Visually check the foils for any signs that the cutters have worn through the foils. It is always best when replacing the cutters to replace the foils at the same time. To avoid possible damage, it is not recommended to remove the cutter and trimmer assem- bly or cutter, except for replacement.
