Shaving
If the shaver is locked into the Clean&Renew™ station,
push the «start cleaning» button (2) to release the shaver
and take it out.
Switch positions
0 = off (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:
1 = Shaving with the pivoting head
(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to
every contour of your face).
2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the
nose).
3 = The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).
Tips for the perfect shave
• Shave before washing your face or taking a shower,
as skin tends swell after washing.
• The dryer the skin, the closer the shaving results will
be.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace
your foil and cutter block when it is indicated on the
shaver display or every 18 months or when worn.
Shaving with the cord
If the shaver is completely discharged (see section
«Shaver display») and you do not have the time to
recharge in the Clean&Renew™ station, you may also
shave with the shaver connected to an electrical outlet
via the special cord set.
After shaving
Automatic cleaning
After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew™
station and proceed as described above in the section
«Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are
then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge
should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.
The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol
which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into
the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily,
should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.
