Congratulations on your Conair CleanHead
™
purchase. This innovative product will help you
maintain your clean look in the easiest and
most convenient ways possible. For best results,
use your CleanHead
™
every day – anywhere,
anytime!
The unique angled shaving foils are designed to
follow the unique contours of your head for the
most effective, even cutting. If you should skip
a couple of days, use the trimmer attachment
first to cut the hairs short enough to be able to
be cut by the shaving foils. Or use the trimmer
attachment with taper control and the differ-
ent comb sizes to cut and maintain a close or
ultra-close look. The comfortable universal grip
encourages you to use whichever hand feels
most comfortable when cutting the different
areas of your head.
BEFORE YOU START
1. The first time you use your CleanHead
™
, place
the unit in the charging stand so the domed
head is securely attached to the charging pin
on the stand.
2. Before using the unit for the first time,
charge continuously for 16 hours. Maximum
battery capacity will only be reached after
3 charging and discharging cycles. Always
place the unit in the charging base with the
On/Off switch in the Off position.
3. Plug the adapter into any wall outlet (at the
voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapt-
er). This power unit is intended to be correctly
orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
Unplug adapter when not in use.
4. The adaptor may become warm while charg-
ing. This is normal.
5. Preserving the batteries: in order to maintain
the optimum capacity of the rechargeable
batteries, the unit should be recharged for
16 hours approximately every 3 months.
CLEAN OR BALD LOOK
To achieve the cleanest, cue ball look with the
CleanHead
™
shaving foils:
1. Use dry every day for maximum effectiveness
and easiest maintenance.
2. For growth of 3 days or more (hair length lon-
ger than stubble), use trimmer attachment to cut
hair short enough to feed into
shaving foils.
3. Use large, relaxed circular
motions. This allows the hair
to feed into the shaving foils.
4. Do not use excessive pressure – let the cut-
ting system do the work. If skin turns red or gets
irritated, this means you are pressing too hard.
5. When shaving the back of the head and neck
area, tilt head as far forward as possible to stretch
the skin. This will result in a better cut and reduce
chances of occasional “nicking” of the skin.
6. Place free hand onto head to feel for stubble
that needs to be shaved an additional time.
7. The first few shaving times, this product will
take some extra time to shave the head.
NOTE: Allow 3 weeks for skin and hair to get
used to foil shaving.
CLOSE OR ULTRA-CLOSE LOOK
Using the trimmer attachment, always
cut from the back of the neck forward
to the crown, using the
3/8" comb first. Position
the comb attachment flat
against the head and slow-
ly move the CleanHead
™
up through the hair. Use
the same technique for
the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side
of the head. If you want
hair to be shorter, switch
to the 1/4" or 1/8" comb
attachment.
FADE CUT
For the best fade cut, start
with the 1/8" attachment
on your CleanHead
™
clip-
per. Starting at the middle
of the nape of the head,
slide the trimmer up from the bottom of the
hairline while gently pulling away from the
head as you go and finish with a scooping
motion. Repeat this around the back and
sides of the head.
Next, attach the 3/8"
attachment and run the
CleanHead
™
over the top
of the head, holding it
evenly to the scalp. Pull the
CleanHead
™
toward you
from the front top of the head to the back.
Note: Hair should be cut against the way it
grows so as to get an even cut.
Now use the 1/4" attach-
ment and hold a comb
perpendicular to the head
and use the clipper-over-
comb technique to blend
the lower and mid area
of the head to eliminate
any line.
Remove the attachment
and trim the front hairline
by holding the CleanHead
™
sideways with blade facing
down and touching the edge
to the hairline. Next, trim
the back of the hairline by
holding the CleanHead
™
blade face down to the
bottom edge of the hairline
and pulling down. For a
more natural fade, you can
also use the CleanHead
™
over comb technique to
