HOW TO USE

ADJUSTING TO YOUR SHAVER

As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to four weeks of daily shaving to develop an effective shaving style and for your skin to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different method of shaving, or if you alternate between shaving methods.

REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE HEAD GUARD

Before operating your shaver, remove the protective head guard, which protects the foils and cutter assembly. It is important to remove it correctly to avoid damaging the clips that hold it to the shaver.

1. Press lightly on the top of the protective head guard.
2. Lift the lower rear edge.
3. Pull the protective head guard away from the shaver. When the shaver is not in use, always keep the protective head guard on the shaver head and keep the trimmer in the OFF position.

CHARGING

Before using, read the important safety instructions in this manual.

1. Ensure the product is switched off. Connect the shaver to the adapter (Diagram A).
2. Connect to the mains (Diagram B) and charge for at least 24 hours when using for the first time (Diagram C). This first charge is important to the shaver's battery life.

O M N B

1. When plugged, the charging indicator will light up.
2. When empty, the battery should be charged for 2 hours, and will provide 60 minutes of shaving time. (For F4900AU: charge for 16 hours to provide 30 minutes of shaving time)
3. To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge every six months, and then recharge them for 24 hours

24 HOURS C

CAUTION!

• Make sure the shaver and your hands are dry when charging the shaver.
  • Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

SHAVING

To Shave

1. Remove power adaptor from the shaver (Diagram A).
2. Press the power button to activate the shaver for shaving.
3. Pull the trimmer release button to engage the trimmer, and use it to remove long hair first. Then push trimmer downward to lock it in when finished.
4. Use your free hand to stretch your skin so that the hairs stand upright. This encourages your facial hair to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the foil and engage the intercept trimmer (Diagram D).
5. Hold the shaver so that the foils touch your skin simultaneously. The independently floating screens automatically adjust to the contours of your face. Only apply light pressure on the shaving head while shaving and use short, circular strokes (Diagram E).
6. After shaving, turn the shaver off by pressing the power button.

SHAVING TIPS

For A Better Shave

For a smoother, more comfortable, moisture-free shave, use a Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP5).

**Remington recommends that you use your new shaver daily for up to three weeks to allow time for your hair and skin to become accustomed to the new shaving system**

• Ensure your skin is dry and free of oils.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

- Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that both heads are touching the skin with equal pressure.

- Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.

- Shave with short, circular strokes. The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

- Do not press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to foil heads.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING & CARE

This shaver is a washable appliance.

The head assembly part may be cleaned under water.

NOTE: \*\*When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and disconnected from the power cord.\*\*

For optimal shaver performance, clean your shaver after each use.

CAUTION!

• Shaver can be placed under running water for cleaning only. Never submerge the shaver in water.
• Never clean the shaver or replace the cutters while it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
• Do not remove or replace head assembly while shaver is running as it may cause damage to the unit's foils and cutters.
• To clean the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or other chemicals.
• To dry, wipe the surface of the shaver with a dry towel. Do not use a hair dryer or heater to dry the shaver.
  • The shaver should not be used until it has dried.

Cover the shaver foils with the protective head guard between uses. When removing the head guard or placing it back onto the shaver, do not apply pressure to the foils as you may damage them.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Grasp the front and back of the cutter assembly and pull away from the shaver body. (Diagram G)
2. Tap the stubble from the foils and cutters.
3. Use the cleaning brush to sweep any loose hairs from the cutters and trimmer. Rinse them in cold or warm water. DO NOT use hot water. DO NOT submerge the shaver in water. (Diagram H & I)
4. After cleaning, replace the hairpocket assembly. (Diagram J)

12. Replace foil assembly. (Diagram M)

Lubricate

Remington® Shaver Saver (SP-4) lubricates, cleans and protects your shaver's foil and cutter assembly. The lubricant helps remove hair clippings while reducing wear. Spray on the foil and cutters after each shave to keep your shaver operating at peak performance.

REPLACING YOUR HEADS & CUTTERS

It is very important to replace your foils and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 6 months for optimal performance. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed.

Signs that your foils and cutters need replacing:

• Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation. As the foils become excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation or redness.
• Pulling: As the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your cutter pulling your hair.
• Wear through: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.

TO REPLACE THE FOIL

• Pull the foil assembly up to remove from the hair pocket.
• Insert new foil assembly in hair pocket until it snaps in place.

TO REPLACE THE CUTTERS

• Grasp cutter between thumb and fore finger and pull upward.
• Snap both new cutter assemblies into top of oscillator tips.

STORAGE

When not in use, always unplug the power adaptor from the power outlet. Never wrap the cord of the power adaptor around the unit as this will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully for long life and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at the power plug. If the cord becomes twisted in use, periodically straighten it.

This product is not suitable to use in a bath or shower.

The Shaver conforms to radio frequency interference requirements.

Any product purchased and used commercially carries a limited 90 Day Warranty.
