Note: For the best result, move it against the grain.
4 Switch off and clean the appliance after every use
(see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
5 To remove the comb, hold it on both sides and pull
it off the blade (Fig. 15).
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the appliance after every use.
Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol
or acetone to clean the appliance.
Do not tap the appliance against a surface to
remove water from it, as this may cause damage
(Fig. 16). Replace the blade if it is damaged.
Never dry the blade with a towel or tissue, as this
may cause damage.
Cleaning the appliance
1 Remove the comb from the blade (Fig. 15). Always
switch off the appliance before putting on or
taking off combs.
2 Blow off any hairs that have accumulated on the
blade and/or combs (Fig. 17).
3 Switch on the appliance and rinse the blade with
lukewarm water (Fig. 19).
Caution: Do not dry the blade with a towel or a
tissue as this may cause damage.
4 Rinse the combs with lukewarm water (Fig. 20).
5 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts air
dry completely.
Note: The blade is fragile. Handle it carefully. Replace
the blade if it is damaged.
Storage
Always attach the protection cap on the blade to
protect the blade from damage during travelling or
storage.
We advise you to let the appliance and its
attachments are completely dry before you store
them for the next use.
1 Place the protection cap onto the edge of the
blade (Fig. 21).
2 Close the protection cap (Fig. 22).
Replacement
Usage indicator
For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we
advise you to replace the blade every 4 months or
when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming
results you expect.
Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime
of the blade could be longer or shorter. Similar to a
manual blade, the blade becomes blunt over time,
which results in increased hair pulling and reduced
cutting performance.
A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the
blade as you use it (Fig. 23). When the replacement
symbol is fully visible, it's time to replace your blade.
Note that accessories such as combs can prevent the
replacement symbol from becoming visible.
Tip: the replacement symbol resembles the icon on
the blade release button of your OneBlade. For older
blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the
replacement symbol.
Replacing the blade
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Push the blade release slide upwards carefully, and
hold the blade on its sides to remove the blade
and prevent it from flying away (Fig. 24).
3 Hold the new blade on its sides and press it onto
the handle ('click') (Fig. 25).
Note: Be careful, the edges of the blade are sharp.
When you hear a click the new blade is placed
correctly and ready for use.
