Introduction
Cool Skin is a new shaving system by Philishave. The shaver
has a special compartment for cartridges containing Nivea
for Men moisturising shaving emulsion. This emulsion is
applied to the skin during shaving. The Nivea for Men
shaving emulsion prepares the skin and beard for the shave,
ensuring that the shaver moves smoothly over your face and
makes perfect contact with the skin. You will enjoy an
unexpectedly close and comfortable shave and your skin will
feel soft and fresh afterwards.
After shaving, you can clean the appliance by simply rinsing
it under a hot tap.
Important
Allow your skin at least two weeks to become
accustomed to the Philishave shaving system.
Do not press the shaver too hard against the
skin while shaving!
With this shaving system, you can shave when
your skin is either wet or dry. The Nivea for
Men shaving emulsion has an immediately
moisturising effect on the skin.
Remove the cartridge and clean the shaver if
you are not going to use the appliance for more
than one week.
To obtain the best shaving results, it is
necessary to follow the instructions in the
‘Cleaning and maintenance’ section.
Charging the shaver
Important: only leave the shaver to charge in a dry place!
First put the plug in the appliance and then put the
Powerplug in the socket. The Powerplug has an
automatic voltage selector and is suitable for mains
voltages ranging from 100 to 240 Volts. The pilot light
near the ON/OFF button will go on. It will take the
appliance approximately 8 hours to recharge
completely. A fully recharged shaver has a shaving time
of approximately 30 minutes. The shaver has been
equipped with a ‘battery low’ indication: the pilot light
will light up when the battery is running low.
About the built-in battery
The shaver has been equipped with a built-in
rechargeable battery. To prolong the life of the battery,
recharge and store the appliance at a temperature
b5°C and +35°C. Also make sure that you
disconnect the shaver from the mains when you are
not recharging it.
Inserting the cartridge
The cartridges with moisturising Nivea for Men shaving
emulsion are available in boxes containing five
cartridges and one plastic connector. Do not throw the
connector away; you will need it for all five cartridges!
Use only Philishave Nivea for Men Cool Skin
