Inserting the battery

This appliance operates with one AAA 1.5 V battery. For best performance, use an alkaline manganese battery (type LR03, AM4, AAA, e.g. Duracell). This battery provides a shaving capacity of approximately 120 minutes. Frequent use of the bikini zone cutting head (3) will reduce the operation time.

• Make sure the appliance is turned off.
• Remove the battery compartment cover (5) by pulling downwards (a).
• Insert the battery with the (+) and (–) poles in the direction marked.
• Close the battery compartment.

Using the cutting heads

The appliance comes with different cutting heads that are uniquely contoured to remove unwanted hairs on every curve of your body, face and bikini area.

Getting started

• Remove the protective cap (1).
• Slide the on/off switch (4) up to turn the appliance on.
• Place the cutting head near to the hair to be removed and guide it slowly against the direction of hair growth. For optimum results, pull the skin taut with one hand while using.
• Turn the appliance off before changing the cutting heads.
• To remove the cutting head, rotate it counter-clockwise 90°, then lift it (b). To attach another one, insert it into the opening, then rotate 90° clockwise until it clicks into place.

The precision cutting head (2) is perfect for detailing of eyebrows and removal of stray hairs on all body areas.
The bikini zone cutting head (3) is ideally suited for use in the bikini area to cut precise lines or contours like the bikini line.

Bikini zone trimming

For trimming hair in the bikini zone to a uniform length, attach one of the bikini zone trimming combs (3a, 3b). To attach a trimming comb, slide the pointed side over the cutting element, then press the round side onto the bikini zone cutting head so that it snaps into place (d). Guide the appliance with the trimming comb flat against the skin.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always turn off the appliance before cleaning. Clean the appliance after each use:

• Use the brush (6) to wipe away any hair or dust.
• From time to time, you can rinse the detached cutting heads under warm running water. A natural soap may also be used, provided it contains no particles or abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.
• Please ensure that the cutting head is completely dry before attaching to the body
• For storage, attach the protective cap (1).

We recommend lubricating the cutter element in the head with a drop of light machine oil twice a year or after cleaning with tap water.
Subject to change without notice.
