(when there are only 5 or fewer
shaving minutes left), the minutes

shaving minutes and the plug symbol
continue to flash for a few more
seconds.

indicated by the number of shaving
minutes shown on the display (Fig. 7).

Travel lock
You can lock the shaver when you are going
to travel. The travel lock prevents the shaver
from being switched on by accident.
Note: The travel lock cannot be activated
when the shaver is connected to the mains.
Activating the travel lock
1
Press and hold the on/off button until
the travel lock symbol stops flashing
and the motor stops running (Fig. 8).
The travel lock is now activated.
Note: If you release the on/off button before
the travel lock symbol stops flashing, the travel
lock is not activated.
Deactivating the travel lock
1
Press and hold the on/off button until
the travel lock symbol stops flashing
and the motor starts running.
The shaver is now ready for use again.
Note: When you start charging, the travel lock
is deactivated automatically.
Charging
It takes approx. 60 minutes to fully charge
the battery.
When you charge the shaver for the first
time or after a long period of disuse, let it
charge for 90 minutes.
A fully charged shaver provides up to 50
shaving minutes.
If you have a heavy beard, the shaver may
provide less than 50 shaving minutes. The
number of shaving minutes may also vary
over time, depending on your shaving
behaviour, cleaning habits and beard type.
Charging for one shave
As the shaver charges, the display shows
the number of shaving minutes available.
Depending on the number of minutes
you usually need for one shave, you can
determine when the shaver contains
enough energy for one shave.
Charging
Do not charge the shaver in a closed
pouch or in the packaging.
1
Put the small plug in the shaver.
2
Put the adapter in the wall socket.
,
The display shows that the shaver is
charging (see chapter ‘The display’).
Note: When you remove the adapter from the
wall socket and leave the small plug in the
shaver, the shaver may not work for a few
seconds.
Using the shaver
Note: You cannot use the shaver while it is
connected to the mains.
shaving
skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the
result you expect and your skin may even
become slightly irritated. This is normal. Your
skin and beard need time to adapt to any
new shaving system.
We advise you to shave regularly (at least
3 times a week) for a period of 3 weeks to
allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver.
During this period, use your new electric
shaver exclusively and do not use other
shaving methods. If you use different shaving
methods, it is more difficult for your skin to
adapt to the new shaving system.
1
Press the on/off button to switch on
the shaver.
2
Move the shaving heads over your
skin. Make both straight and circular
movements (Fig. 9).
3
Press the on/off button to switch off
the shaver.
4
Clean the shaver after every
shave (see chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).

You can also use this shaver on a wet face
with shaving foam or shaving gel.
To shave with shaving foam or shaving gel,
follow the steps below:

Note: Rinse the shaver under the tap regularly
to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly
over your skin.
6
Dry your face and thoroughly rinse
the shaver with a sufficient amount
of water after every shave. Make sure
you rinse all foam or shaving gel off
the shaver (see also chapter ‘Cleaning
and maintenance’).
Trimming
You can use the trimmer to groom
your sideburns and moustache.

Pull the shaving unit straight off the
shaver (Fig. 10).

cutter in the wrong shaving guard, it may
take several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.

Clean the cutter with the cleaning
brush supplied (Fig. 22).
7
Clean the inside of the shaving
guard (Fig. 23).
