Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave

Congratulations on your purchase of a premium Remington®shaver.Remington®Titanium MicroScreen Ultra is the world’s first shaver with Titanium-coated trimmer blades.Only R e m i n g t o n®positions stay - s h a r p , Ti t a n i u m - c o ated trimmer blades in front of the triplescreen cutting system.The stay-sharp Titanium-coated blades take the brunt of the shaver wear and tear as they cut the long,difficult-to-cut hairs.And because titanium-coated blades are harder than stainless steel, they stay sharper longer resulting in a close, comfortable shave,time after time.

As with every shav e r, your shave will improve over time. So allow about three weeks to develop an eff e c t i v e 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.

When you first removed your s h aver from its box,y o u m ay have noticed what appears to be small particles of white or gr ay powder on the screen or in or around the cutter assembly.The particles are from a coating of a special lubricant applied to the new screens and cutters to help smooth the transition to your new shaver.They will disappear with use.

The Best Technique

It’s simple to get a great shave from your new shaver. Here are a few tips for getting the closest shave possible:

Always use a clean; dry shaver.

Trimmer

Never press hard.Pressing only flattens your whiskers, which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It will also wear out the foils more quickly.

Your Remington®Titanium MicroScreen®Ultra shaver is equipped with a special trimmer that allows you to shave long hairs on facial and neck areas,or trim a beard or mustache quickly and easily.

Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before

1 2

shaving,to ensure the face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

For optimal results,use trimmer setting #2 to get the tough spots

like your neck and around your chin.

For shaving sideburns/mustache,use trimmer setting

#3.(Press right side of trimmer button).

Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting.

To extend battery life,retract the trimmer to setting #1 while you are shaving.

Hold the shaver so all three screens touch your face together.This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed for the closest shave and minimum screen wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one screen touches the skin. This will distort the screen and may cause some skin irritation.

Use short,circular strokes.Use your free hand to

For a Better Shave…

To help maximize your shaver’s performance,consider using the Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or Remington®PreShave Lotion (SP-6).Just rub either product over your beard.Both absorb moisture and facial oils,helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. It makes shaving quicker and more comfortable.

stretch your skin. This e n c o u r ages your whiskers to stand out,making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.

Cleaning your shaver:

TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE,WE RECOMM E N D T H AT YOU CLEAN YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE.The cutting system of this shaver was designed to be cleaned by rinsing under warm running water or by b r u s h i n g .( Water temperature should be between 40°C/104°F and 70°C/158°F.)

Cleaning your shaver is easy. (NOTE:With MS3-4700 model,

the brush icon will blink to remind you to clean your shaver.)

■ Remove the shaver head by squeezing on both side buttons and pulling away from the body of the shaver. You may blow out the stubble thoroughly,or rinse the shaver head in water.

Important: Never clean the screen with the enclosed brush as damage may occur to the holes in the screen.

■ At least once a week,the cutters and the trimmer should be cleaned with the cleaning brush. You can also rinse the cutter under running water, like the screen.

Caution: Never put the shaver completely under water.Do not use any aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

■ To clean and lubricate your shaver’s cutters and head assembly,apply R e m i n g t o n®S h aver Sav e r®( S P - 4 ) L u b r i c a n t . The lubricant helps remove hair clippings while reducing wear.A quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver operating at peak performance.

Caution: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver is running as it may cause damage to the unit’s screens or cutters.

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

Replacing Screens and Cutters

Because they are subject to daily use,the cutters and screens of your Remington®shaver will wear and e v e n t ually require replacement to maintain a close,comfortable s h av e . Depending on your s h aving technique and hab i t s , the screens will usually last six months; the cutters,one year.

When is it time to replace your screens and cutters?

It is very important to replace your screens and cutters when necessary to insure a close,comfortable shave without irritation.We recommend they be replaced every 12 months.

Irritation: As foils get worn,you may notice that your skin feels more sensitive after a shave,particularly when you apply after shave.

Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your shaver is pulling at your whiskers.

We a r- t h rough: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the fo i l .

The replacement for this shaver is model SP-94 for screens and

cutters and SP-93 for screens only. U . S .r e s i d e n t s : To order, c o ntact us at 800-736-4648,visit us at www. r e m i n g t o n - p r o d u c t s . c o m or visit your local retailer.

To prevent inadvertent damage to the screen and cutter assembly,do not attempt to remove them unless you are replacing them. To remove the old screens and cutters follow the

instructions that come with the screen and cutter, replacement package.It’s always a good idea to replace the screens when you replace the cutters.

To Replace a Cutter Assembly That is Removed Unintentionally:

■ Hold the assembly in the middle of the "T".

■ Gently slide the plastic portion of the cutter assembly over the top of the oscillator tip.

■ Do not push downward on the ends of the cutters,as you may bend the cutter, reducing its ability to operate smoothly.

■ Do not remove cutters from the plastic pieces to which they are attached,as you may damage the assembly.

Removing the Headguard

Before operating your shaver, remove the headguard, which protects the screen and cutter assembly.It is important to remove the headguard correctly to avoid damaging the clips that hold it firmly to the shaver.

■ Press lightly on the top of the head guard.

■ Lift the lower rear edge.

■ Pull the headguard aw ay from

the shaver.

Shaver Operation

Your shaver has a toggle power button that has diff e r e n t o p e r ating characteristics depending on which model shaver you have.

Models MS3-1700 & MS3-2700:

Lower side:ON; Upper side:OFF

Models MS3-3700 & MS3-4700:

Trimmer Operation

Your MicroScreen®shaver is equipped with a 3-position trimmer.

Position 1: Retracted and out of the way. Position 2: Long hair intercept with floating action.

(Deployed by pressing LEFT side of trimmer button) Position 3: Sideburn / Mustache Trimmer (Deployed by pressing RIGHT side of trimmer button)

The Trimmer can be manually retracted to setting 1 from either setting 2 or setting 3, by pressing down on the trimmer.

Charging

Prior to using your shaver for the first time, put it on charge fo r 24 hours.

To charge your shaver:

■ Make sure your shaver is turned off.

■ Connect the cord to the shaver and then the charging adapter

to the electric outlet.A charging indicator light will come on.

■Your shaver cannot be overcharged,so you can leave it plugged in and charging between shaves.

■ Use only the charging adapter supplied with the shaver.

■The MS3-1700 is designed for cordless operation only. Plugging

in the cord will not provide the power to shave.The MS3-2700/ 3700/4700 on the other hand,come with a special feature that allows you to run the shaver directly off the cord. Your shaver will not recharge while you are shaving,so after shaving directly from the cord,turn the unit off and set aside to charge.

■ The MS3-2700/3700/4700 will provide up to two weeks worth of shaving after a one hour charge or a single shave after five minutes of charging.

Model MS3-1700

The green light indicates that the shaver is chargi n g .Full charge is achieved in 16 hours.

Model MS3-2700

A green indicator light shows whether the shaver is either fully charged or charging.A red low-battery indicator illuminates to show when the shaver needs rechargi n g .This also indicates ap p r o x i m at e ly 5 minutes of shaving time left when indicator first comes on.

Model MS3-3700

A green lighted fuel gauge displays the amount of charge remaining in 20% increments.When only 20% of the charge remains,the recharge red warning light illuminates.

Model MS3-4700

An LCD display numeric indicator shows shaver charge status i n minutes remaining. When the Plug icon comes on,it i n d i c ates ap p r o x i m at e ly 5 t0 6 minutes of shaving time left.

Troubleshooting:

■ If your MS3-2700/3700/4700 shaver battery is completely discharged or the shaver has not been used for an extended period of time,the shaver may not start when operated using the cord.If this condition occurs, charge the shaver for ap p r o x i m at e ly five minutes before shaving.

■ Your MS3-2700/3700/4700 cord/cordless shaver should not

be used strictly as a cord-operated shaver,as continued cord

only use will result in reduction of battery life.

■ In order to preserve the life of the batteries,they should be fully discharged every six months and then fully charged for 24 hours.
