Manual cleaning
The hand-held unit should be detached from the power supply cord before
cleaning. The shaver should not be used until it has dried.
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaver head
under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot
running water. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances.
Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette (1)
and let it dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a
drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer (2) and shaver Foil &
Cutter cassette (1).
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using a brush:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it
out on a flat surface.
• Using a brush, clean the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not
clean the shaver Foil & Cutter cassette with a brush as this may damage it.
Replacement light for shaving parts
To maintain the appliance performing like new, replace the shaver Foil &
Cutter cassette (1), when the replacement light for shaving parts (8) comes
on (after about 18 months) or when worn.
The replacement light will remind you during the next 7 shaves to replace the
foil and cutter cassette. Then the shaver will automatically reset.
After you have replaced the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), press the on/off switch
(4) for at least 5 seconds to reset the counter.
While doing so, the replacement light blinks and goes off when the reset is
complete. The manual reset can be done at any time.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the
shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately.
Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
