Do not charge the appliance in a closed pouch.

It takes approx. 60 minutes to fully charge the

battery.

When you charge the shaver for the rst time or

after a long period of disuse, let it charge for 12

hours.

shaver and then use it normally until the battery is

completely empty. Repeat this process three times in a

row. If you optimise the battery capacity in this way, you

can also charge the shaver in between shaves, even if

the battery is not completely empty yet.

shaves.

If you have a heavy beard, the shaver may provide

less than 17 cordless shaves.The shaving time may

also vary over time, depending on your shaving

behaviour, cleaning habits and beard type.
