B Shaving

Wet/foam Shaving ES2055

1. Attach the shaver head.

3. Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a closer shave.
4. Do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin lotion as it will clog the blades.
5. Turn the switch on to the 1 or 2 position.

(1=low speed shaving/2=high speed shaving) - Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short. - Slide the pop-up trimmer switch up to cut long hair. - Press gently so that the whole of the blade is in close contact with the skin and the surface of the blade does not move up and down.

Shaving the bikini line with the bikini comb

Place the bikini comb onto the shaver head and slide trimmer up.

• When the bikini comb is in place, make sure the comb is in close contact with the skin.

3. Turn the switch on and then wet the discs to create foam.
4. Wash the head with water to clean hair.

7. Turn the switch off, wipe the appliance with a dry cloth and dry it well.

Cleaning your epilator with the supplied brush

You can also clean the epilation head and the shaver head (ES2055) with the cleaning brush.

Replace the shaving foil and the inner blade when you notice reduced shaving performance. Never remove the outer foil of the shaver head for any other reason than to change it.

Removing the outer foil

While pushing the outer foil gently with the fingers, use a fingernail to release the plastic panel (⑥) on the blade from the catches (⑧) on the inside of the frame.

Fitting the new outer foil

Hold the outer foil so that the surface with the plastic panel (⑥) (i.e. the surface that will come into contact with the inner blade) faces upward and then insert it into the frame so that the catches (④) on the frame fit into the holes on the foil.

• We recommend replacing the outer foil every year and the inner blade every two years.
