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 (9): The shaver is connected to an electrical

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.

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:

1 = Shaving with the pivoting head

(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to

every contour of your face).

2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle

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

nose).

3 = The long hair trimmer is activated

(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).

Tips for the perfect shave

• It can take 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 shave 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 at least every 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 cutter block and the inner area

of the pivoting head.

However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as

this may damage the foil.

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

and the shaver foil.

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the re-

chargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged

(through normal use) every 6 months approximately.

Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil

and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.

Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave

with less skin irritation.
