Connecting and charging

The body groomer is electrically safe and can be used in the bathroom, bath,

The battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high
temperatures. Recommended ambient temperature for shaving and/or
trimming is 15 °C to 35 °C. Do not expose the appliance to temperatures
higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time.
Plug the charger (8) into an electrical outlet. Place the body groomer onto

Intermittent blinking after a while indicates that the battery maintains its

50 minutes.

Battery maintenance
In order to maintain the capacity of the rechargeable batteries, we recom­mend that you unplug the charger and discharge the body groomer by
regular use at least every 6 months.

How to use the appliance

Make sure that you always keep your skin stretched when shaving or trimming.
The body groomer is not intended for removing facial hair or scalp hair.

21

• Trimming («1»):
Trimming on the skin / contour trimming
For trimming precise lines and contours, just use the trimmer (2)

(picture a).
Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on the body groomer.
Stretching your skin, carefully move the trimmer against the direction of

hair growth. For this function, you can use Gillette shaving foam or gel.

Using the trimming combs (1a) – (1c)
For best results use the trimming combs on dry hair only. Do not use

shaving foam or gel for this application. Whenever hairs build up in front

of the comb, remove them.

Trimming on the skin in sensitive areas (e.g. genital area) with the

«sensitive» attachment (1a)
For trimming in sensitive areas and improved skin care, you should use

the «sensitive» attachment (1a) (picture b). Snap it onto the trimmer (2)

as shown until it clicks into place. Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on.

Gently move the body groomer against the direction of hair growth with

the comb tips pointing forward. In sensitive areas take special care that

the skin is always stretched to avoid injuries.

Trimming the hair length with trimming combs «medium» and «long»
The trimming combs (1b) / (1c) allow you to cut the hair to 2 different

lengths («medium» = 3 mm or «long» = 8 mm).
Start with the «long» trimming comb (1c) to acquire practice. Gently

move the body groomer against the direction of hair growth with the

comb tips pointing forward (picture c).

• Combishave («1+2»):
Trimming and shaving in one stroke for a close shave of long haired

sections with the trimmer (2) and shaving system (3)

The combishave is suitable for large areas like chest and back.

Press the «

(picture d).

Press the on/off switch (6) to turn on the body groomer. The trimmer first

raises all long hairs and cuts them off. The shaving system (3) follows to

smooth away any stubble.

For best results, always make sure that both, the trimmer and the

shaving system are in contact with the skin. When using this function,

we recommend using Gillette shaving foam or gel.

22

» button and extend the slider to the «1+2» setting

• Shave («2»):
For a close shave of stubbled areas with the shaving system (3)
Pressing the «

setting «2» (picture e).

Place the shaving system (3) on the stretched skin and gently move it

Make sure the shaving system is in full contact with the skin.
When using the shaving system, we recommend using Gillette shaving

foam or gel.

The body groomer comes with a protective cover that can also be used as a
shower holder.

When used as a protective cover, insert the body groomer with the trimmer
facing inwards.

When using it as holder, insert the body groomer with the trimmer facing
outwards (see picture 9).

Cleaning and maintenance

After each use, clean the body groomer.

Remove the trimming comb and brush it out.
You may also use the brush to clean the trimmer if it has been used for dry
applications only.
If you have used the body groomer with shaving gel or foam, rinse it under
hot, running water as shown (in picture f) until all residues have been
removed. Shake well to remove excess water and leave to dry.
Apply a drop of light machine oil onto the trimmer on a weekly basis.

discoloured. Use Gillette Fusion cartridges only.
