Charging

Charge the appliance:

• before first use and when you have not used the appliance for a long time

• when the motor stops or starts running slower

When you have charged the shaver for the first time and after a long period of disuse, optimise the battery capacity in the following way:

1 Fully charge the shaver and then use it normally until the battery is completely empty. Repeat this process two more times. 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.

Charging the shaver (HQ6996, HQ6990, HQ6986, HQ6976, HQ6950, HQ6947, HQ6927, HQ6926, HQ6925, HQ6923 only)

Quick charge (HQ6996, HQ6990, HQ6986 only)

After the shaver has charged for 3 minutes, it contains enough energy for one cordless shave.

Charging with the adapter

1 Put the appliance plug in the shaver.
2 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.

Note: Make sure the shaver is switched off.

The charging light goes on.
HQ6996, HQ6990, HQ6986: Charge the shaver for at least 1 hour, but not more than 24 hours.

HQ6976, HQ6950, HQ6947, HQ6927, HQ6926, HQ6925, HQ6923: Charge the shaver for at least 8 hours, but not more than 24 hours.

The charging light lights up continuously as long as the appliance is connected to the mains.

Note: You can also shave without charging. Simply connect the shaver to the mains.
