When you press the - or + button, the segment of the personal comfort settings bar that lights up shows the currently selected setting. You can press the + or - button to select a different setting.

Charging

When the shaver is charging, first the bottom light of the battery charge indicator flashes, then the second light, and so on until the shaver is fully charged (Fig. 6).

Shaving

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.

Shaving tips

- Select your personal comfort settings (see ‘The display’).
- To ensure the best result, we advise you to pre-trim your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.

Dry shaving

1 Switch on the appliance. 2 Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements (Fig.
20). Note: Circular movements provide better shaving results than
straight movements.
English
3 Clean the appliance after use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').

Wet shaving

You can also use this appliance on a wet face with shaving foam or shaving gel.
To shave with shaving foam or shaving gel, follow the steps below:
1 Apply some water to your skin (Fig. 21). 2 Apply shaving foam or shaving gel to your skin (Fig. 22). 3 Rinse the shaving unit under the tap to ensure that the shaving
unit glides smoothly over your skin (Fig. 23).
4 Switch on the appliance. 5 Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements (Fig.
20). Note: Rinse the shaving unit regularly to ensure that it continues to
glide smoothly over your skin.
6 Dry your face. 7 Clean the appliance after use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
