Caution: Use only approved batteries.

What does the blinking LED mean?

A blinking LED indicates low battery (less than 20 minutes remaining) or cleaning reminder. Charge the shaver immediately. If blinking continues after charging, consult the manual.
Tip: Clean heads regularly to avoid false alerts.

Is the shaver suitable for sensitive skin?

The S3552 features MultiPrecision blades that cut hair at skin level for a comfortable shave. For sensitive skin, use wet shaving with gel and avoid pressing too hard.
