Description 1 Foil protection cap 2 Shaver foil 3 Cutter block 4 Rotating styler 4a Wide shaper (28 mm) 4b Narrow shaper (14 mm) 5 Charging light 6 On/off switch 7 Trimming attachment 8 Beard length selector 9 Special cord set Charging The best environmental temperature for charging is between 15 °C and 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 to an electrical outlet with the motor switched off. • When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to charge continuously for 4 hours. The green charging light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on and off. This indicates that the battery maintains its full capacity. • 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 trimming attachment (7): Using your thumbs, press against the side clips of the trimming attachment 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 shaper (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. This appliance is suitable for use in a bath or shower. When using it in the shower, we recommend applying shaving foam or gel. Using the rotating styler The wide shaper (4a) evenly cuts and trims large areas (c). It is ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards. The wide shaper is provided with safety rips and a gliding strip for less irritation and easy gliding. Press the blue stripes to push up the rotating styler (4). While stretching the skin, guide the wide shaper against the direction of hair growth. The narrow shaper (4b) precisely defines lines and edges (d), being ideal for precise contouring. To use the narrow shaper, push up the styler and turn it 180°. Frequent use of the styler will reduce the battery capacity. Using the trimming attachment • The trimming attachment (7) is ideal for beard trimming and keeping it at a constant length. • Place the trimming attachment onto the shaver foil (2) and press it against the shaver housing until it snaps into place with a click. • Press the beard length selector (8) (e) and slide it up in order to set the desired beard length (length settings from top to bottom 1.2 mm, 2.8 mm, 4.4 mm, 6 mm). Push up the styler (4). • Activate the on/off switch and trim against hair growth by guiding the transparent comb part over the skin. Cleaning Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean: • Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water (f). A natural based soap may also be used provided it contains no particles or 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 long hair trimmer and shaver ...
