Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F/15 °C and
35 °C.
• First charge: Using the special cord set,
connect the shaver to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off and charge the
shaver for at least 4 hours.
• The green charging light blinks when the
shaver is being charged. When the battery
is fully charged, the charging light lights
permanently.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of
cordless shaving time depending on your
beard growth.
• Once the shaver is completely charged,
shave without the cord. With normal use the
shaver will be charged automatically after
every cleaning in the Clean&Renew™
(see separate use instructions).
• Maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/discharging
cycles.
• Re-charging time in the Clean&Renew™:
8 hours.
• Re-charging time with the special cord set:
1 hour.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged,
you may also shave by connecting the
shaver to an electrical outlet via the special
cord set.

Shaving
Turn on the shaver («start»):
The pivoting cutting system automatically
adjusts to every contour of your face.
Trimmer:
When the long hair trimmer is activated, it
allows the controlled trimming of moustache
or sideburns.
Tips for the perfect shave
• It can take up to 14-21 days for your beard
to adjust to the new shaving system.
• Shave before washing your face or taking
a shower, as skin tends to swell after
washing.
• The drier the skin, the closer the shaving
results will be.
• 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 the shaver foil and cutter block,
when the replacement light (9) comes on
(after about 18 months), or when the
shaving parts are worn.

Cleaning indicator
Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the
Clean&Renew™, and certainly when the yellow
cleaning light (8) shines constantly after shav-
ing. If this is not done, the yellow light will go
out after some time. The shaver`s electronics
will then assume it has been cleaned manually
and a new calculation of the time when the
next cleaning is required will be started.
During the cleaning process in the
Clean&Renew™ the yellow light will flash and
will go off after approx. 4 hours when cleaning
is finished.
