No.623 - Beard trimmer CARRERA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL No.623 CARRERA

For having placed your trust in CARRERA - and for giving us the opportunity to prove you right with our beard trimmer.

Everything is driven by one idea.

Each CARRERA appliance follows a clear concept. No consideration of existing gender roles, no pink for women or blue for men. Since when did quality and performance have a gender?

We create technology maximising user friendliness, handling and aesthetics and bringing performance to life. Directly when switching on the appliance and even after many years. Performance is not just delivered by the motor alone, but results from the skillful interplay of each individual component. We just call it the CARRERA boost.

Although we have not reinvented the wheel, we had the courage to do right what is crucial and to dispense with everything that is unimportant.

That is our style. And you will rediscover it in each further CARRERA appliance.

Extend your warranty from 24 to 36 months now!

You want to and should enjoy your CARRERA appliance for a long time. So why not directly extend the warranty for your beard trimmer to 36 months within the next 36 days? Further information can be found in the enclosed warranty card or directly on www.carrera.de/service.
