When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth on
a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like
deodorants with alcohol right away.
Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for
cleaning under an open water
tap.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. After each shave, proceed
as follows (D1):
• Press the release buttons
the shaver head.
• Rinse the shaver head and the cutter
block separately under warm running
water. A natural based soap may
also be used provided it contains no
particles or abrasive substances. Rinse
off all foam.
• Leave the cutter block and shaver head
to dry separately.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver
using the brush provided (D2):
• Press the release buttons
the shaver head. Tap the bottom of the
shaver head gently on a flat surface (not
on the foil).
• Brush out the cutter block and the
inside of the shaver head. However, do
not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.

regularly every 3 months (E). If you
clean the shaver head under running
water, lubricate it after each cleaning.

parts of the long hair trimmer. Then
remove the shaver head and also apply
a tiny amount of vaseline as shown in
picture section (E).
