Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated. This is normal. Your skin and beard need
time to adapt to any new shaving system. To allow
your skin to adapt to this new appliance, we advise
you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week)
and exclusively with this appliance for a period of
3 weeks.
Switching the appliance on and off
1 To switch the appliance on or off, press the
on/off button once.
Shaving
To ensure the best result, we advise you to pretrim your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days
or longer.
1 Switch on the appliance.
2 Move the shaving heads over your skin in both
straight and circular movements to catch all
hairs growing in different directions. Exert
gentle pressure for a close comfortable shave.
Note: Do not press too hard, this can cause skin
irritation.

and moustache.

open the trimmer.

move the appliance downwards while you exert
gentle pressure.
