Charging
The best environmental temperature for
charging is between 60 °F to 95 °F/15 °C and
35 °C.
• First charge: Using the special cord set,
connect the shaver to an electrical outlet
with the motor switched off and charge the
shaver for at least 4 hours.
• The green charging light blinks when the
shaver is being charged. When the battery
is fully charged, the charging light lights
permanently.
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of
cordless shaving time depending on your
beard growth.
• Once the shaver is completely charged,
shave without the cord. With normal use the
shaver will be charged automatically after
every cleaning in the Clean&Renew™
(see separate use instructions).
• Maximum battery capacity will only be
reached after several charging/discharging
cycles.
• Re-charging time in the Clean&Renew™:
8 hours.
• Re-charging time with the special cord set:
1 hour.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged,
you may also shave by connecting the
shaver to an electrical outlet via the special
cord set.
Shaving
Turn on the shaver («start»):
The pivoting cutting system automatically
adjusts to every contour of your face.
Trimmer:
When the long hair trimmer is activated, it
allows the controlled trimming of moustache
or sideburns.

shape
Cleaning indicator
Your shaver should be cleaned daily in the
Clean&Renew™, and certainly when the yellow
cleaning light (8) shines constantly after shav-
ing. If this is not done, the yellow light will go
out after some time. The shaver`s electronics
will then assume it has been cleaned manually
and a new calculation of the time when the
next cleaning is required will be started.
During the cleaning process in the
Clean&Renew™ the yellow light will flash and
will go off after approx. 4 hours when cleaning
is finished.
Tips for the perfect shave
• It can take up to 14-21 days for your beard
to adjust to the new shaving system.
• Shave before washing your face or taking
a shower, as skin tends to swell after
washing.
• The drier the skin, the closer the shaving
results will be.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the
skin. Stretch the skin and shave against
the direction of beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance,
replace the shaver foil and cutter block,
when the replacement light (9) comes on
(after about 18 months), or when the
shaving parts are worn.
