Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
• Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off and charge it
for at least 8 hours (4845 model), 16 hours
(4840 model).
• The green charging light (6) shows that the
shaver is being charged.
• Once the shaver is completely charged,
discharge the shaver through normal use.
Then recharge to full capacity.
• A full charge provides 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
discharged, you may also shave 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 (5) 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 the shaver 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 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 off the shaver and press the
release buttons. Remove the shaver foil
and the cutter block. Then leave the disas-
sembled shaving parts to dry.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using
the brush provided:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver
foil.
