Cleaning
(see fig. 5)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the outer foils in place, apply
some hand soap onto the outer foils.
Turn the shaver on and turn off after
few seconds.
Next, press the outer foil frame re-
lease buttons to remove the outer foil
frame and rinse the inner blade/outer
foils under running water or in a ba-
sin.
DO NOT USE BOILING WATER.
Next, close the outer foil frame and
dry it gently. After the shaving head
is dry, place the protective cap.
Replacing shaving head

the outer foil at least once every year
