INSTRUCTIONS

Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave

Congratulations on your purchase of a premium
Remington®shaver.

As with every shaver, your shave will improve
over time. So allow about three weeks to develop
an effective shaving style and for your beard to
adjust to the new shaver.The adaptation period
may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive,
or if you alternate between shaving methods.

Special Instructions
Note: The following instructions should be

followed for at least 10 days of shaving.

• Wash face with warm water and soap and

towel dry thoroughly.

• Using a gentle pressure,shave against the
grain with short up-and-down strokes.

• After shaving,wash face again and towel dry.

• It is important to shave daily with light pres­sure,carefully cutting all your beard,and to
keep your face clean.

Caution: If you use a depilatory or are a blade
user with sensitive skin, your face may become
irritated by heavy shaving pressure or use of the
beard lifter.Some people have skin conditions
that make shaving by any means
you are in doubt,please consult your doctor.

Always use a clean,dry shaver.

Wait at least 15 minutes after getting
up before shaving, to ensure the face is
free of puffiness that may be present
from sleeping.

Make sure your face is clean and dry
before starting.

To start, use the Beard Lifter comb on
a daily basis,even if you don’t shave
every day, to lift flat curly hairs and
set up your beard for shaving. Rub
the Beard Lifter over your beard area,
across the grain in short back-and­forth strokes, applying as much pres­sure as is comfortable.

When you shave, hold the shaver as
shown, using short,gentle, up-and­down strokes against the grain of your
beard.

In the neck area and directly under the
chin,stretch the skin taut, allowing flat
curly hairs access to the inner moving
blades. Try a circular motion if your
beard tends to grow in different
directions.

Never press hard. Pressing hard only
flattens your whiskers, which makes
it harder for them to enter the cutting
chamber.It may also cause damage to
the shaver heads.

For a Better Shave…

To help maximize your shaver’s performance,consider using the
Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the Remington
Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6).Just rub either product over
your beard. Both products absorb moisture and facial oils,
helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more
easily. They make shaving quicker and more comfortable.These
products may be purchased at your local retailer, on our website,
or by calling 800-736-4648.

Cleaning Your Shaver

TO ASSURE SMOOTH,EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE,IT
IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR SHAVER.

DISCONNECT POWER CORD IF ATTACHED.

After each shave,turn the shaver OFF and remove
the Hairpocket by pressing on the Hairpocket Release
buttons.With the Head Assembly already exposed,
brush and blow out the hair clippings from the heads
and cutters.For a more thorough cleaning,remove
the cutter located inside of each of the heads (see
“To Remove Cutters”section),and brush thoroughly.
After cleaning,reattach the Hairpocket to the shaver.

Important: Because the shaver has two types of
head configurations (closed and open),and because
the heads and cutters tend to wear and conform to
each other over time,it is important to keep them as
a matched set. To prevent mixing parts during clean­ing, it is recommended to remove,clean,and replace
one cutter at a time.

Attention: Never put the shaver partially or
completely into water.

■ Daily cleaning of the cutting system is recom­mended to ensure optimum shaving performance.
To clean and lubricate your shaver's cutters and
head assembly,apply Remington®Shaver Saver
Lubricant (SP-4).The lubricant helps remove hair
clippings while reducing wear.A quick spray after
each shave keeps your shaver operating at peak
performance. Do not use an aggressive cleansing
agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

®

Caution: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while
shaver is running,as it may damage the cutting system.

■Worn or damaged parts should be replaced with Remington
replacement parts only.

To Remove Cutters

1.Remove the Head Assembly by pulling it
away from the shaver body (see Fig.1).

2.Turn Head Assembly upside down,and
place on top of a flat surface.

3.Insert the tip of a screwdriver (or other
narrow tip object) into the center bend of
the cutter,press down lightly,and gently
push sideways to slide the cutter outside

the Head (see Fig.2).

4.To reinsert the cutter, align one of its ends

with one of the side openings in the head,
compress the cutter spring lightly,
and gently slide cutter back into place.

■ The ES-1000 comes with a special feature that

allows you to shave when the battery charge is low

cord and turn on the shaver. Your shaver will not
charge while you are shaving,so after shaving,
turn off the shaver and leave it plugged in so it
can recharge.

be used strictly as a cord-operated shaver, as continued
cord-only use will shorten the life of the battery.

comes on,you have approximately 5 to 6 minutes
of shaving time left before the shaver must be
