6. Push power button once to turn shaver on. If shaver does not turn on, travel lock
may be engaged. Check by pressing power button again. If travel lock indicator
light turns white you will need to disengage the lock by pressing and holding
power button for 5 seconds.
7. Gently stretch the skin of your face with your free hand while moving the shaver
slowly and smoothly against the grain of your beard. Using short, circular strokes
will make the hairs stand out from your face and make shaving easier. Hold the
shaver at a 90 degree angle to your face while maintaining contact with the foil.
8. In order to achieve the closest shave and avoid unnecessary wear on the foils, be
sure that both foils contact the skin simultaneously at all times. Holding the
shaver at an angle where only one foil contacts the skin will cause distortion of the
foil and may result in skin irritation.
9. To facilitate cutting and avoid foil wear, use minimal pressure to apply the shaver
to your skin.
10. To maximize shaving comfort, be sure to clean the shaver thoroughly after use.
USER MAINTENANCE
If shaver is to remain unused for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry
place. Do not wrap cord tightly around shaver. Do not hang the shaver by the power
cord. Other than the recommended maintenance described in this manual, no other
maintenance should be performed.
IMPORTANT: For best shaver performance and results, it is recommended that
you replace your shaver’s foil assembly and cutters every six months.
TO REPLACE FOIL ASSEMBLY
1. Grasp the foil assembly on both sides and gently lift it off the shaver (Figure H).
2. Position the replacement foil assembly over the cutters. Be careful not to damage
the foils. Gently slide the foil assembly down until it snaps firmly into place.
TO REPLACE CUTTERS
NOTE: Always replace the foil assembly when replacing the cutters.
1. To remove a cutter, grasp it on both sides and pull up (Figure I).
2. To replace a cutter, hold it on both sides and line up the small metal shaft on its
underside with the notch on the shaver drive and push down firmly until it snaps
into place.
3. Replace foil assembly.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning is necessary in order to maintain the optimal performance and
maximum comfort from your shaver. Shaver and foil assembly can be cleaned with
small brushed included and rinsed under water for a more thorough cleaning.
1. Grasp the foil assembly on both sides and gently lift it off of shaver (Figure I).
2. Gently tap the base of the foil assembly on a flat surface so that the hairs inside
fall out. Do not remove the foils or they may be damaged accidentally.
3. Lightly brush the hairs out from the cutters. You can remove them from the shaver
if necessary. Blow out any remaining loose hairs.
4. For a more thorough cleaning rinse parts and shaver under running water then
allow to dry with cap off.
5. Replace the cutters and foil assembly.
