Charging the shaver

• When charging for the first time: Using the special cord

set, connect the shaver to an electrical outlet.

The shaver must be switched off. Charge it for at least

4 hours (special cord set and shaver might get warm).

Once the shaver is completely charged, shave until

fully discharged. Then recharge to full capacity again

(1 hour).

• A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless

shaving time, depending on your beard growth.

However, the maximum battery capacity will only be

reached after several charging/discharging cycles.

• Best environmental temperature range for charging is

from 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C.

• When fully discharged, you may also shave with the

shaver connected to an electrical outlet via the special

cord set.

Indicator lights

Pilot light (11): The shaver is connected to an electrical

outlet.

Model 550: When the shaver is fully charged, all five

charging lights (7) will light up (20% per light), provided

the shaver is connected to an electrical outlet or switched

on.

Model 540: The green single charging light (7) shows that

the shaver is being charged. When fully charged, the

charging light flashes or goes off. If later on, the charging

light comes on again, this indicates that the shaver is

being recharged to maintain its full capacity.

The red low charge light (8) flashes when the battery

capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is

switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient

for 2 to 3 shaves.

Shaving

Switch positions

off = (switch is locked)

Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:

on = Shaving with the pivoting head

(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts

to every contour of your face).

fix = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle

(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the

nose).

trim= The long hair trimmer is activated

(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).

Tips for the perfect shave

• It can take up to 14-21 days for your beard to adjust

to the new shaving system.

• Shave before washing your face or taking a shower,

as skin tends to swell after washing.

• The drier the skin, the closer the shaving results will

be.

• 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

your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light

(9) comes on (after about 18 months), or when worn.

Cleaning

Never use water to clean the shaver.

For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver off.

Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not

remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for

approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can

fall out.

Then remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.

Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head.

However, do not clean the shaver foil nor the cutter block

with the brush as this may damage them.

Put a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer

and the shaver foil.

Replacement light for shaving parts / Reset

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil

and cutter block, when the replacement light for shaving

parts (9) comes on (after about 18 months) or when worn.

Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with

less skin irritation.

(Shaver foil and cutter block: 51S)

The replacement light will remind you during the next 7

shaves to replace the shaving parts. Then the shaver will

automatically reset the display.

After you have replaced the shaving parts (foil and cutter

block), use a ball-pen to push the reset button (10) for at

least 3 seconds to reset the counter.

While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off

when the reset is complete. The manual reset can be done

at any time.

the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended

periods of time.
