Charging
The best environmental temperature for char-
ging is between 15°C and 35°C.
• Using the special cord set, connect the
shaver to an electrical outlet with the motor
switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave the
shaver to charge continuously for at least
8 hours (Model 4745), 16 hours (Model
4740).
• As soon as you start charging the shaver,
the charging light (6) comes on.
• Once the shaver is completely charged,
discharge the shaver through normal use.
Then recharge to full capacity.
• A full charge will give up to 30 minutes of
cordless shaving time depending on your
beard growth. However, the maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after
several charging/discharging cycles.
• If the rechargeable batteries are dischar-
ged, you can shave without charging by
connecting the shaver to an electrical outlet
via the special cord set.

Shaving
Press the «on/off» switch (4) to turn the shaver
on.
Trimmer: When the long hair trimmer is
activated, it allows the controlled trimming of
moustache or sideburns.
Tips for the perfect shave
• We recommend that you shave before
washing, as the skin tends to be slightly
swollen after washing.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the
skin. Stretch the skin and shave against
the direction of beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace your foil and cutter block at least
every 18 months or when worn.
Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for cleaning
under an open water tap.
Warning: Detach the hand-held part
from the power supply before cleaning
it in water.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. Rinsing the shaving head after
each shave under hot running water is an easy
and fast way to keep it clean:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse
the shaving head under hot running water.
A natural based soap may also be used
provided it contains no particles or abra-
sive substances. Rinse off all foam and let
the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next switch the shaver off and press the
release buttons. Lift the shaver foil off and
pull the cutter block out. Then leave the
disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using
the brush provided:
• Switch the shaver off. Press the release
buttons and lift shaver foil off.
