Charging
The best environmental temperature for charging is between 
15 °C and 35 °C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures 
higher than 50 °C for extended periods of time. 
Using the special cord set, connect the shaver to an 
• 
electrical outlet with the motor switched off. 
When charging for the first time or when the appliance is 
• 
not used for a few months, leave the appliance to charge 
continuously for 4 hours. 
The charging light (5) shows that the appliance is being 
• 
charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging 
9
 

light turns off. Intermittent blinking after a while indicates 
that the battery maintains its full capacity. This can also 
happen short term when charging after the battery was 
completely discharged.
•
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 best results: 
•
Always shave before washing your face.
•
At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the 
skin (b). 
•
Stretch the skin and shave against the direction of hair 
growth.
•
For pre-shaving after a few days of not having shaved, use 
the wide shaper (4a) to pre-cut long hairs. For a close, 
smooth shave, finish with the foil.
•
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil 
and cutter block at least every 18 months or when worn.
Using the rotating styler (4) 
The wide shaper (4a) evenly cuts and trims large areas (c). 
It is ideal for shaping sideburns, moustaches and partial 
short beards. The wide shaper is provided with safety rips 
and a gliding strip for less irritation and easy gliding. Press 
the green stripes to push up the rotating styler (4). 
While stretching the skin, guide the wide shaper against the 
direction of hair growth.
The narrow shaper (4b) precisely defines lines and edges (d), 
being ideal for precise contouring. 
To use the narrow shaper, push up the styler and turn it 180°.
Frequent use of the styler (4) will reduce the battery capacity.

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 (e). 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 (g).
Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush 
provided (f):
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: 20 R)
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.
