How to Use
Charging Your Shaver
Before using your rechargeable shaver for
the first time, you will need to charge it for
18-24 hours; it will recharge more quickly
after its initial charge.
1.
Put the charging headguard that came
with the shaver, on the shaver and plug
its cord into an electrical outlet.
2.
The green light indicates your shaver is
charging. The shaver cannot be over-
charged, so you can leave it plugged in
and charging between shaves.
To preserve the life of the batteries,
let them fully run out every six months,
then recharge them for a full 24 hours.
Charging Cautions
■
Make sure the shaver and your hands
are dry when placing the shaver in the
charging headguard.
■
Always charge the shaver in a cool,
dry place.
■
The charging headguard can only be
used in North America (120V, 60Hz).
Operating Your Shaver
■
Remove the protective headguard before
shaving.
■
Press the ON/ OFF
button to turn the
shaver on.
■
Hold the shaver so the
screen touches your
skin. This allows the
shaver to work the way
it was designed for
the closest shave and
minimum wear.
■
After shaving, press the ON/OFF button
again to turn the shaver off.
■
Rinse the shaver head and replace
the protective headguard.
Usage Tips
■
Use a light touch
when shaving.
Pressing hard only
flattens your hairs,
making it harder for
them to enter the
cutting chamber.
It will also wear out
the cutting surface
of your shaver
more quickly.
■
For best results, shave against the
direction your hair grows.
■
If you’ve been shaving with a blade,
your skin may need up to 3 weeks to
adjust to an electric shaver. Once your
skin adjusts, you’ll get an incredibly
close, comfortable shave.
■
After
shaving, apply a moisturizing lotion
to make your skin feel even more silky.
Wet/Dry Use
All Smooth & Silky
®
shavers give you a
great, close shave wet or dry. Your Smooth
& Silky Slim
®
shaver is fully submersible in
water, so you can shave with foam or soapy
lather, in the shower or the tub.
Dry use is great for a quick, close shave
when you’re in a hurry; no special
preparation is necessary. After shaving,
wet or dry, simply run the shaver under
cold water to clean it. (See “Cleaning &
Maintenance” section for details.)
Wet/Dry Tips
■
When using soap or foam lather, the
shaver will glide smoothly over the skin,
cleansing away oil residue while leaving
skin soft and smooth. Apply the soap
or foam generously. Do not use non-
lathering shaving cream, nourishing
cream, or skin lotion, as these will clog
the shaver’s screens.
■
Wait until you’ve been in the shower
or bath a few minutes before you
begin shaving, so skin and hairs are
fully hydrated. This leads to a closer
wet shave.
Wet/Dry Cautions
■
Charging devices are not submersible.
■
Always use cold or warm water to rinse
your shaver. Very hot water, sea water,
or cleanser could damage it.
■
Do not leave the shaver submerged
in water.
Operating The Trimmer
All Smooth & Silky
®
shavers are equipped
with a trimmer that works with the foil
to give you an extra close and comfortable
shave.
