Cleaning the shaver in the C & C

When the cleaning indicator lights up on the shaver display, insert the shaver into the C & C, as described above.

Cleaning programs (not with all models)

short / economical cleaning ▲▲ normal level of cleaning intensive cleaning

Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head.

Automatic cleaning

Start the cleaning process by pressing the start button (16). If status light (15b) does not shine (C & C switches to stand-by after ca. 10 minutes), press start button twice. Otherwise, cleaning will not start.

Depending on your model and / or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes. During this time the status light (15b) blinks.

After cleaning and charging is completed, all indicators turn off.

Leave the shaver in the C & C for drying. It takes several hours until remaining moisture evaporates depending on the climatic conditions.

Removing the shaver from the C & C

Hold the C & C with one hand and tilt the shaver slightly to the front to release it.

Cleaning cartridge / replacement

When the level indicator (15a) lights up permanently red, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 3 more cycles. When the level indicator blinks red, the cartridge needs to be replaced.

After having pressed the lift button (13) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping. Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution.

The cleaning cartridge contains ethanol or isopropanol (specification see cartridge), which once opened will naturally evaporate slowly. Therefore, each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants for the shaving system, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame and the cleaning chamber of the C & C. These

marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a damp cloth and do not impact the shaver and its performance in any way.
