power capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Before traveling, charge it fully for 1
hour if you will not be taking the
charging adaptor with you.
In case your shaver is discharged,
you may quick charge it for one shave
in about five minutes.
Using your shaver
Push the switch button to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di¬
rection of your beard. You may gen¬
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
Shaving mode selector
(see fig. 4)
Use the shaving mode selector to
choose the shaving mode. Rotating
the shaving mode selector to change
the shaving mode,
mild: For sensitive skin
powerful: For heavier beard
regular: For regular beard and skin
The shaving mode can be changed
no matter whether the switch is
turned on or off. Although the shaver
can be used while the shaving mode
selector is set in between two of the
modes, rotate the shaving mode se¬
lector until it makes a clicking sound
to indicate that it is at one of the right
positions before using the shaver.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between two foils (b).They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica¬
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit¬
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver's performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 6)
Slide the trimmer switch up to the iwm
position until it clicks in. Place the
trimmer at a right angle to your skin
and move it downward to trim
sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre¬
venting odors or bacteria from devel¬
oping, and maintain the cutting per¬
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil. Turn the shaver on and pour
some water over the outer foil. After
about 10-20 seconds, turn the shaver
