To select a lower or higher setting, press the button on the left or right of the display.

Replacement reminder
For maximum shaving performance, replace the shaving heads every two years. The shaver is equipped with a replacement reminder which reminds you to replace the shaving heads.

Overheating
If the shaver overheats during charging, the notification symbol flashes. When this happens, the shaver automatically stops charging. Charging continues once the temperature of the shaver has decreased to the normal level after approx. 10 minutes.

Blocked shaving heads
If the shaving heads are blocked, the notification symbol continuously lights up red. The replacement reminder and the cleaning reminder alternately flash white and the shaver beeps. In this case, the motor cannot run because the shaving heads are dirty or damaged. If the shaving heads are dirty, you have to clean them. If the shaving heads are damaged, you have to replace them.

Charge the shaver before you use it for the first time and when the display indicates that the battery is almost empty.
Charging takes approx. 1 hour. A fully charged shaver has a shaving time of up to 60 minutes.
