SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave Always use a clean,dry shaver. In the neck area and directly under the chin,stretch the skin taut, allowing flat curly hairs access to the inner moving blades. Try a circular motion if your beard tends to grow in different directions. Congratulations on your purchase of a premium Remington® shaver. As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. So allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style and for your beard to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, or if you alternate between shaving methods.

Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure the face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping. Special Instructions Note: The following instructions should be followed for at least 10 days of shaving.

• Wash face with warm water and soap and towel dry thoroughly.
• Using a gentle pressure,shave against the grain with short up-and-down strokes.
• After shaving,wash face again and towel dry.
• It is important to shave daily with light pressure,carefully cutting all your beard,and to keep your face clean. Caution: If you use a depilatory or are a blade user with sensitive skin, your face may become irritated by heavy shaving pressure or use of the beard lifter. Some people have skin conditions that make shaving by any means inadvisable.If you are in doubt, please consult your doctor. Never press hard. Pressing hard only flattens your whiskers, which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It may also cause damage to the shaver heads. Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting. To start, use the Beard Lifter comb on a daily basis,even if you don’t shave every day, to lift flat curly hairs and set up your beard for shaving. Rub the Beard Lifter over your beard area, across the grain in short back-andforth strokes, applying as much pressure as is comfortable. When you shave, hold the shaver as shown, using short,gentle, up-anddown strokes against the grain of your beard. For a Better Shave… To help maximize your shaver’s performance,consider using the Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the Remington® Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6).Just rub either product over your beard. Both products absorb moisture and facial oils, helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. They make shaving quicker and more comfortable.These products may be purchased at your local retailer, on our website, or by calling 800-736-4648. Cleaning Your Shaver

TO ASSURE SMOOTH,EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE,IT

IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR SHAVER. DISCONNECT POWER CORD IF ATTACHED. After each shave,turn the shaver OFF and remove the Hairpocket by pressing on the Hairpocket Release buttons.With the Head Assembly already exposed, brush and blow out the hair clippings from the heads and cutters.For a more thorough cleaning,remove the cutter located inside of each of the heads (see “To Remove Cutters”section),and brush thoroughly. After cleaning,reattach the Hairpocket to the shaver. Important: Because the shaver has two types of head configurations (closed and open),and because the heads and cutters tend to wear and conform to each other over time,it is important to keep them as a matched set. To prevent mixing parts during cleaning, it is recommended to remove,clean,and replace one cutter at a time. Attention: Never put the shaver partially or completely into water. ■ Daily cleaning of the cutting system is recommended to ensure optimum shaving performance. To clean and lubricate your shaver's cutters and head assembly, apply Remington ® Shaver Saver® Lubricant (SP-4).The lubricant helps remove hair clippings while reducing wear. A quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver operating at peak performance. Do not use an aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings. Caution: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver is running,as it may damage the cutting system. ■ Worn or damaged parts should be replaced with Remington® replacement parts only. To Remove Cutters 1.Remove the Head Assembly by pulling it away from the shaver body (see Fig.1).

2. Turn Head Assembly upside down,and

place on top of a flat surface. 3.Insert the tip of a screwdriver (or other narrow tip object) into the center bend of the cutter, press down lightly, and gently push sideways to slide the cutter outside the Head (see Fig.2).

4. To reinsert the cutter, align one of its ends

with one of the side openings in the head, compress the cutter spring lightly, and gently slide cutter back into place. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Shaver Operation ■ To switch the shaver ON,press down on the Switch Lock feature,and slide the On/Off Button toward the top of the shaver. ■ To switch the shaver OFF, simply slide the On/Of f Button towards the bottom of the shaver. (There is no need to press on the Switch Lock feature.) Charging Before using your shaver for the first time, put it on charge for 24 hours. To charge your shaver: ■ Slide the power button downward to the "Off" position. ■ Connect the AC power cord to the shaver and then to the electric outlet. A green indicator light will come on. ■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged,so you can leave it plugged in and charging between shaves. ■ Use only the AC line cord supplied with the shaver. ■ The ES-1000 comes with a special feature that allows you to shave when the battery charge is low. Just follow the steps above to connect the AC power cord and turn on the shaver. Your shaver will not charge while you are shaving,so after shaving, turn off the shaver and leave it plugged in so it can recharge. Note: Your ES-1000 cord/cordless shaver should not be used strictly as a cord-operated shaver, as continued cord-only use will shorten the life of the battery. Indicator Lights ■ Green - Lights up when the shaver is charging. ■ Red - Lights up if the battery is low. When it first comes on,you have approximately 5 to 6 minutes of shaving time left before the shaver must be recharged. Note: To preserve the life of the batteries,they should be fully discharged every six months and then fully charged for 24 hours. Worldwide Voltage You can take your ES-1000 shaver with you when you travel just about anywhere in the world.The shaver features worldwide automatic voltage conversion. ■ Cut or break the metal tabs that connect the batteries to the electrical board (see Fig.4). Battery Removal When your rechargeable shaver reaches the end of its useful life, the batteries must be removed from the shaver and be recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with your state and local requirements. ■ Turn the shaver OFF, and unplug power cord from electric outlet to avoid possible electric shock hazard. ■ Remove Hairpocket and Head assembl y.
