Remington MS-6000 User Manual

■

Connect the cord to the shaver, then plug the charging adapter into the electrical

outlet. A charging indicator light will come on.

■

Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you can leave it plugged in and charging

between shaves.

■

To preserve the life of the batteries, let them fully run out every six months, then

recharge them for a full 24 hours.

■

Cord/cordless rechargeable shavers can run directly off the cord if necessary. They will

not recharge while you are shaving, so after shaving with the cord, turn the unit off

and set it aside to charge. Cord/cordless shavers should not be used strictly as cord-

operated shavers, as continued cord-only use will result in reduction of battery life.

■

Quick Charge provides up to three weeks of shaving after a one-hour charge, or a

single shave after a five-minute charge.

■

If your shaver’s charge runs out in the middle of a shave, you can push the power

reserve button to get an extra 5 minutes of power.

NOTE:

If your shaver battery is completely discharged or the shaver has not been

used for a long time, the shaver may not start when operated using the cord. If this

happens, charge the shaver for approximately five minutes before shaving.

Removing the Headguard

Before operating your shaver, remove the headguard, which

protects the screen and cutter assembly. Simply push up from the

front or the back until it pops off. (Diagram A)

Always keep the protective head guard on the shaver head and

keep the trimmer in the OFF position when the shaver is out of the

cleaning base and not in use.

Operating the Pop-up Trimmer

Your shaver is equipped with a pop-up trimmer. Use the trimmer

push tab to extend or retract the trimmer.

Completely retracted (down), the trimmer is out of the way and off,

for when you want to use the screens alone. Press the trimmer

down with your thumb to get it into this position. (Diagram B)

In the middle position, the trimmer works with the screens, cutting the longer, hard-to-

shave hairs so the screens can get in extra close. Slide the trimmer into the position

level with the foils.

Fully extended (up), the trimmer can be used to trim your sideburns and mustache.

Slide the trimmer into the top position, above the foils.

Charging

Before using your shaver for the first time, put it on charge for 24 hours.

NOTE:

It may

take up to 3 cycles for the battery to reach full capacity.

To Charge Your Shaver:

■

Use only the charging adapter supplied with the shaver.

■

Make sure your shaver is turned off.

(Diagram G) This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed for the closest shave

and minimum wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one screen touches the

skin at a time. This will distort the screen and could cause skin irritation.

Shaver Saver

cleans your shaver's cutters and head assembly. The lubricant helps remove hair

clippings while reducing wear. A quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver

operating at peak performance.

Cleaning Cautions

■

Shaver can be placed under running water for cleaning only.

■

Do not use an aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver is running as it may cause

damage to the unit's screens or cutters.

■

Replace worn or damaged parts with Remington

replacement parts only.

Trimmer Care

Cleaning

Turn the shaver off.

Extend the trimmer to its maximum height by pressing the right trimmer button.

Use the cleaning brush to sweep off any clippings that may have accumulated

around the trimmer assembly. Using the supplied brush will enable you to get into

the area between the trimmer and the shaver.

Lubricating

Every six months apply a drop of light machine oil one-third and two-thirds of the

way along the blade.

Using your fingertip, spread the oil along the teeth.

Run the trimmer for a few seconds to distribute oil.

To prevent inadvertent damage to the cutters and screens, do not attempt to remove

them from the head assembly unless you are replacing them. Removal instructions are

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. (Diagram N)

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 they are attached to, as you may

damage the assembly.

comfortable shave without irritation.

the cutters, 12 months. If you are replacing the cutters, it’s a good idea to replace the

screens at the same time.

As screens get worn, you may notice that your skin feels more sensitive

after a shave, particularly when you apply aftershave.

Pulling:

As cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your

shaver is pulling at your whiskers.

Wear-through:

You may notice that the cutters have worn through the screens.

The replacement part for this shaver is model SP-95 (screens) and SP-96 (screens

and cutters).

with your state and local requirements. If this is not required by law, you may elect to

dispose of the shaver without removing the batteries.

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED FOR BATTERY REMOVAL:

Make sure shaver is unplugged before you begin, to avoid a possible electric

shock hazard.

Press the two side buttons and pull off the shaver head assembly.

Remove the 4 outer screws from inside the shaver head. Loosen the top assembly from

the body.

Performance Guarantee

Operating the Pop-up Mini-foil

Your shaver is equipped with a 2-position mini-foil. Use the mini-foil push tab to extend

or retract the mini foil.

Completely retracted (down), the mini-foil works with the 2 large screens to provide

a close and comfortable shave.

Fully extended (up), the mini-foil can be used to provide a close shave for small or

difficult-to-reach areas, for a detailed look.

Do NOT retract the mini-foil by pressing down directly on the screen. This could

permanently damage the screen.

Adjusting to your new 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

To help smooth the transition to your new shaver, a special lubricant has been applied

to the shaver’s screens and cutters. The lubricant looks like fine white or gray powder,

and disappears with use.
