Charging 
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 
15 °C and 35 °C.
• Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an 
electrical outlet with the motor switched off.
• When charging for the first time, leave the shaver to 
charge continuously for 4 hours. The green charging 
light (5) shows that the shaver is being charged. When 
the battery is fully charged, the charging light intermittently blinks on and off. This indicates that the battery 
maintains its full capacity.
• A full charge provides 30 minutes of cordless shaving 
time depending on your beard growth. 
• Once the shaver is completely charged, discharge the 
shaver through normal use. Then recharge to full capacity. Subsequent charges will take about 1 hour. 
• Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 
several charging/discharging cycles.
• If the rechargeable batteries are discharged, you may 
also shave by connecting the shaver to an electrical 
outlet via the special cord set.
Shaving
Remove the foil protection cap (1). Activate the on/off switch 
(6). The floating foil frame automatically adapts to your skin 
surface for a close, smooth shave.
For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use 
the long hair trimmer (4) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, 
smooth shave, finish with the foil. 
Trimming
Push out the long hair trimmer (4). It allows controlled 
trimming of moustache and sideburns. It evenly cuts and 
trims larger areas: Ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial short beards.
Frequent use of the long hair trimmer may reduce the battery 
capacity.

Tips for the perfect shave
• We recommend that you shave before washing, as the 
skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing. 
• Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. 
Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of 
beard growth.
• To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your 
foil and cutter block at least every 18 months or when 
worn. 
Cleaning
This appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open 
water tap. 
Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power 
supply before cleaning it in water. 
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. 
Rinsing the shaving head after each shave under running 
water is an easy and fast way to keep it clean: 
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving 
head under hot running water (b). A natural based soap 
may also be used provided it contains no particles or 
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 and 
the cutter block. Then leave the disassembled shaving 
parts to 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 and shaver foil.
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush 
provided (c):
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil. 
• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner 
area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the 
shaver foil with the brush as this may damage the foil. 
Keeping your shaver in top shape
Replacing the shaving parts
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil 
and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn. 
Change both parts at the same time for a closer shave with 
less skin irritation. 
(Shaver foil and cutter block: 20S)
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. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
