Maintenance
Warning! Injuries and material damage due to incorrect
handling.
f
Switch off the appliance before cleaning it or performing
any maintenance and disconnect it from the mains.
Cleaning and care
Danger! Electric shock due to penetration of liquid.
f
Do not immerse the appliance in water!
f
Do not allow any liquid to get inside the appliance.
Caution! Danger from aggressive chemicals.
Aggressive chemicals could damage the appliance and
accessories.
f
Never use solvents or scouring agents.
f
Only use cleaning agents and blade set oil recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
·
Hygienic spray and blade set oil are available from your
dealer or our service centre.
·
Oil and cleaning indicator
When the oil and cleaning indicator (C5) lights up, the
blade set urgently needs to be cleaned and oiled to pre-
vent premature wear to the appliance.
f Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 6
ⓑ
) and lift the blade set out
of the housing (Fig. 7
ⓐ
). Use the cleaning brush to remove any
cut hairs from the housing opening and from the blade set (Fig. 8).
The cleaning lever can also be pressed. This allows the cut hairs
that accumulate between the bottom blade and the top blade to be
easily removed using the cleaning brush
(EASY CLEANING) .
f Only wipe the appliance with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
f Oil the blade set with the blade set oil (Fig. 9).
·
For a good and long-lasting cutting performance, it is
important to oil the blade set frequently
·
If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use
despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade set should
be replaced.
Changing the blade set
1. Slide the blade set off the housing in the direction of the arrow
(Fig. 7
ⓐ
). Remove the blade set.
2. Replace the blade set by hooking it into the housing and pressing it
down until it clicks into position (Fig. 7
ⓑ
).
Operation
Setting the cutting length
The cutting length can be adjusted to between 0.7 mm and 3 mm
(5 possible positions) using the cutting-length adjustment integrated
into the blade set (Fig. 5).
Cutting with the attachment comb
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs.
f In order to achieve the indicated cutting length, the cutting length
adjustment lever should be set to position 1 (Fig. 5).
Depending on the model, the following attachment combs
are included as standard:
3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm, 18 mm and 25 mm cutting
lengths.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb
1. Slide the attachment comb on to the blade set in the direction of
the arrow until it reaches the limit stop (Fig. 6
ⓐ
).
2. The attachment comb can be removed by pushing it in the direc-
tion of the arrow (Fig. 6
ⓑ
).
Problem solving
Blade set is cutting badly or pulling hair out.
Cause: Blade set is dirty or worn out.
f Clean and oil the blade set (Fig. 8/9). If this does not resolve the
problem, replace the blade set (Fig. 7).
Skin injury
Cause: Too much pressure on the skin.
f Reduce pressure when cutting close to skin.
Cause: Damaged blade set.
f Check whether the blade edges were damaged during use and
replace the blade set if necessary.
Battery operating time is too short
Cause: A blade set that is very dirty and has not been oiled can reduce
the available battery operating time substantially!
f
Carefully clean and oil the blade set (Fig. 8/9). If the blade set is
clean and oiled and the battery operating time is still far too short,
it is likely that the batteries are nearing the end of their life.
Cause: Battery power indicator is imprecise.
f
Fully discharge the appliance before fully recharging it in one unin-
terrupted charging process.
