Shaving
If the shaver is locked into the Clean&Renew™ station,
push the «start cleaning» button (2) to release the shaver
and take it out.
Switch positions
off = (switch is locked)
Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver:
on = Shaving with the pivoting head
(the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to
every contour of your face).
fix = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle
(to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the
nose).
trim=The long hair trimmer is activated
(for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard).
Shaving with the cord
If the shaver is completely discharged and you do not
have the time to recharge in the Clean&Renew™ station,
you may also shave with the shaver connected to the
mains via the special cord set.
After shaving
Automatic cleaning
After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Renew™
station and proceed as described above in the section
«Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are
then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge
should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles.
The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol
which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into
the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily,
should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.
Tips for the perfect shave
• We recommend that you shave before washing, as
the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin.
Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace
your foil and cutter block, when the replacement light
(18) comes on (after about 18 months), or when worn.
