Cleaning
Never use water to clean the shaver!
For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver off.
Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not
remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for
approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can
fall out.
Then remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area
of the pivoting head.
However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as
this may damage the foil.
Put a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer
and the shaver foil.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the re-
chargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged
(through normal use) every 6 months approximately.
Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil
and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.
Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave
with less skin irritation.
