Charging

Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C.

The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.

• Using the special cord set, connect the shaver or the charging stand (11) to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time or when the shaver is not used for a few months, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours.
• The charging light (5) shows that the appliance is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light turns off. Intermittent blinking after a while indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity. This can also happen short term when charging after the battery was completely discharged.
• A full charge provides 30 minutes of cordless shaving time depending on your beard growth.
• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour.
• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
• 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.

Shaving

First, remove the adjustable comb (8): Using your thumbs, press against the side clips of the adjustable comb so that they swing off in the direction of the arrows (a). Activate the on/off switch (6). The floating foil frame automatically adapts to your skin surface for a close, smooth shave.

For best results:

• Always shave before washing your face.
- At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin (b).
- Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of beard growth.
- For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use the wide trimmer (4a) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, smooth shave, finish with the foil.
- To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.

Style

Using the twistable trimmer

The wide trimmer (4a) evenly cuts and trims large areas (c). It is ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards. The wide trimmer is provided with safety rips and a gliding strip for less irritation and easy gliding. Press the blue stripes to push up the twistable trimmer (4). While stretching the skin, guide the wide trimmer against the direction of hair growth.

The narrow trimmer (4b) precisely defines lines and edges (d), being ideal for precise contouring.

To use the narrow trimmer, push up the twistable trimmer and turn it 180° . Frequent use of the twistable trimmer will reduce the battery capacity.

Trim

Using the trimming attachments (1), (8) and (9)

Place the respective trimming attachment onto the shaver foil (2) alternatively on the twistable trimmer (4) and press it against the shaver housing until it snaps into place with a click (e).

3-day beard comb & protective cap (1): This attachment is perfectly suited for creating a stubble look and maintaining it.

• Place the attachment onto the foil (2) and push up the twistable trimmer (4). Turn on the shaver and use the appliance as shown in the illustration (e). The attachment ensures an optimum usage angle.

Adjustable comb (8): This attachment is ideal for beard trimming and keeping it at a constant length.

• Place the attachment onto the shaver foil (2) and set desired beard length. Press beard length selector (7) and slide it up (f) (possible length settings from top to bottom: 1.2 mm / 2.8 mm / 4.4 mm / 6 mm). Push up the twistable trimmer (4).
• Press the on/off switch and trim against hair growth by guiding the flat comb part over the skin (f).

Precision comb (9): This attachment is ideal for trimming eyebrows (ca. 3 mm).

- It is recommended to place the 3-day beard comb & protection cap (1) onto the shaving foil (2) (e) when using the precision comb.

- Place the attachment onto the extended narrow trimmer (4b) (g).

- Turn on the shaver and trim against hair growth (g).

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:

• Switch on the shaver (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running water until all residues have been removed (h). You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil and the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the trimmers (4a, 4b) and shaver foil (i).

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (j):

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil.
• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the shaving parts

To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with less skin irritation. (Shaver foil and cutter block: 10B)

Preserving the batteries

In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the shaver has to be fully discharged by shaving every 6 months approximately. Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
