another plug, as this causes a hazardous situation.

your hands from getting burnt.

replace a damaged adapter or part with one of the original type.

general
- The appliance is equipped with an automatic voltage selector and is suitable for
mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts.

Charging
Note: The shaver cannot be used directly from the mains.
When you charge the shaver for the first time or after a long period of disuse, let it
charge for at least 10 hours.
A fully charged shaver provides up to 30 minutes of shaving time.
The shaving time may be less than expected as a result of your shaving behaviour,
your cleaning habits or your beard type.
Charge indications

minutes left), the charging light lights up orange. When you switch off the shaver,
the charging light continues to light up orange for a few seconds (Fig. 4).
Charging

continuously. (Fig. 4)
Note: The charging light will keep lighting up green when the shaver is fully charged.
