This charging method preserves the maximum
capacity of the cell unit. All subsequent charges will
also take only 1 hour (quick charging). The full
capacity is reached after several charge/discharge
cycles. The shaver automatically adapts to all direct
and alternating current voltages (12 - 240 V) and to
frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. Recharging on 12 V (–)
in cars or boats, takes approximately 20 hours. The
surrounding temperature should not exceed + 25 °C.
A full charge will give up to about 70 minutes of
cordless shaving (approximately 20 days based on
3.5 minutes per shave), depending on the thickness
of your beard.

In order to maintain the maximum capacity of the
rechargeable cell unit, it should be discharged about
every 6 months by shavin
approximately 4 hours from the mains. Do not keep
the shaver connected to the mains for a long period
of time (i. e. several weeks).
Connect the shaver to the mains and turn the shaver

Tips for the perfect shave
8
• It is recommended to shave before
washing your face; your skin is slightly
swollen after washing.
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°)
to the skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the
direction of beard growth.
• Clean the shaver after every shave
(see «Cleaning and maintenance»).
A poorly cleaned shaver has a reduced
shaving performance.
• Use only properly functioning shaving parts.
Service under the guarantee does not affect the
expiry date of the guarantee. The guarantee on parts
or entire appliances which are exchanged ends

All other claims including for damages resulting from
this guarantee are excluded unless our liability is
legally mandatory.
Those claims arising out of the sales contract with
the vendor are not affected by this guarantee.
