CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER
To ensure long lasting performance of your shaver, clean the head assembly regularly. The easiest and the most hygienic way to clean the shaver is by rinsing the shaving head after use with warm water. Always keep the protective headguard on the shaving head when the shaver is not in use.

NOTE:

• Ensure that the shaver is turned off when cleaning.
• Do not clean the shaving foils with the brush.
• At regular intervals, put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the foils and cutters head.

REPLACING THE FOILS & CUTTERS
Signs that your foils and cutters need replacing:

• Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.
• Pulling: As the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your cutter pulling on your hair.
• Wear: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.
  To ensure the continued highest quality performance from your shaver, we recommend that foils and cutters are replaced every 6 months.
