hygiene, and narrow design for greater precision handling. For removing

sideburns.

and narrow design for easier shaving.
CERAMIC BLADE SET
The ceramic blade set guarantees a perfect hair cut for long time without oiling.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE HEAD
• Switch the appliance off.
• Turn the head through 45° in an anti-clockwise direction (fig.5) and remove it.
• To refit the head, slot it in at an angle of 45° to the appliance, then turn it into
position (fig.6).
WET & DRY UNIT
• This unit has been designed for use even under the shower. Nonetheless, it
must be dried before being repositioned on the base.
STYLING TIPS
• Decide on the kind of look you want to obtain, based on your face and the
length of beard and moustache.
• When trimming beard and moustache, start off with the comb attachment
adjusted to a high setting, and then move onto a shorter setting if so desired.
A weekly trim will suffice to maintain the look.
• For clean, sharp edges, use the finishing head (fig.1 ref.12), then complete the
task using the shaver head (fig.1 rif.13). Trim unwanted hair from nose and ears
using the nose and ear hair trimmer (fig.1 ref.11).
• For best results, beard and moustache can be dampened (not wet), and
brushed in the direction of growth.
• Proceed to trim, working upwards from the bottom, beginning at the jaw and
moving towards the ears.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The cleaning and maintenance procedure must be carried out after every use.
• All maintenance or blade change operations must be carried out with the
appliance switched OFF and removed from the charger.
• Never immerse the appliance in water!
• After each use, remove the shaver head (fig.7) and clean the inside using the
brush (fig.1 ref.14).
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft cloth (slightly damp if necessary).

• If after prolonged use, and despite regular cleaning and lubrication, the cutting
ability of the appliance appears to be diminished, the cutting head must be

ear hair trimmer (fig.1 ref.11) must be oiled regularly.
