The cleaning base also serves as a
storage unit. For peak performance of
your shaver,clean it daily by pushing
the CLEAN button.
During the automated cleaning process,
the shaver is switched on and off at
intervals to obtain best cleaning results.
Since the specially formulated cleaning
fluid also contains a small amount of oil,
the cleaning procedure also fulfills the
lubrication needs of your shaver.
NOTE: Remington
®
recommends cleaning
your shaver daily for optimum shaving
performance.
NOTE: With daily cleaning, the solution
will last about 4 weeks.The cleaning
solution, if not used daily, will last longer.
Normal evaporation will occur even when
the unit is not being used. In hot, humid
weather,solution may evaporate more
rapidly.
■ Use only the power supply cord
supplied with this product.
■ In order to avoid any leaka ge of the
cleaning fluid,place the cleaning base
on a flat table surface. Be careful not
to tip, move suddenly, or transport in
any way if the base is filled with the
cleaning fluid.
■ Do not place the cleaning base in a
cabinet or any other enclosed area
unless the solution is empty.Do not
store it over radiators, nor place it
on polished, lacquered, or any other
surface that is susceptible to damage
by isopropyl alcohol.Always operate
and store it in a well ventilated area.
■ To avoid evaporation, do not expose
cleaning solution to direct sunlight.
■ The cleaning base contains highly
flammable liquid. Keep it away from
sources of ignition. No smoking. Keep
out of reach of children. Discard cleaning solution bottle after contents have
been poured into the cleaning base.
■ When cleaning the shaver,its clear
plastic head guard must be removed.
Power Clean System
The Remington®PowerClean System automatically cleans,
charges, and renews your shaver.

! Wait until the cleaning cycle has
finished before removing the shaver
from the base. If the sha ver is removed
during the cleaning cycle it will be
covered with cleaning solution and be
unusable.
Shaver should be left in cleaning base
for 24 hours to allow it to dry for next
usage.
Solution levels
The cleaning solution will slowly evaporate with use.When the solution levels
get low,the red replacement indicator
light will begin to flash.This means you
have enough cleaning solution left for
approximately 5 more cleanings. If the
red light stops blinking and glows
steadily,the unit will not operate until
the solution and filter have been
replaced.
Replacing the Filter and Solution
Only Remington’s special cleaning
solution and filter can be used with
the Power Clean System.The cleaning
solution contains a high percentage of
alcohol and a special oil that lubricates
your shaver each time it is cleaned.The
filter is specially designed to collect hair
debris yet allow for the system to clean
your shaver.
Remove and discard filter and empty any
remaining cleaning solution.Rinse unit
tank then let dry.Fill with fresh solution,
insert new filter and replace upper
portion.
Wipe off the unit periodically with a
damp cloth and remove any hair debris
that has collected where the shaver sits.
■ To preserve the life of the ba tteries,
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 sha vers
should not be used strictly as cordoperated shavers, as continued cordonly use will result in reduction of
battery life.
■ Quick Charge provides up to 60 min.
of shaving after a one-hour charge,
or a single shave after a five-minute
charge.
NOTE: If your shaver battery is completely discharged or the shaver has not
been used for a long time, the sha ver
may not start when operated using the
cord. If this ha ppens, charge the shaver
for approximately five minutes before
shaving.
NOTE: It may take up to 3 cycles for the
battery to reach full capacity.
Operating the Cleaning
System
Cleaning
To activate cleaning mode, simply press
the CLEAN button on the cleaning base.
The amber indicator light flashes through
the entire cleaning cycle,which lasts
approximately 2 minutes.When the cleaning cycle has been completed,the amber
light will stop blinking and glow steadily.
The unit then returns to charging mode.

Before using read the important
safety instruction section in front
of the manual.
Preparing the System
Cleaning solution:
1. Press the latch buttons
on the sides of the
cleaning base and lift
the upper portion off
the unit. You will
need to keep the
buttons pressed in
as you move the
upper portion away
from the base.The
cleaning solution
tank is in the unit’s
bottom portion.
2. Remove the filter
from the tank and
set aside.
3. Pour the bottle of
cleaning solution into
the base of the unit
through the opening
where the filter was
removed.
4.
Place the filter back
into its original position.
NOTE: It is important to make sure the
filter is in place.The filter collects hair
clippings and debris,and should be
replaced along with the solution. Failure
to do so will permanently clog the
system rendering it inoperable.
5. Replace the top portion of the cleaning base by lining up the three posts
with the three holes in the tank. Push
the top portion down until the two
latches click into place.
6. You can dispose of the bottle and cap
with your normal trash, or recycle where
local ordinances apply.
Charging
Prior to 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.
Using Cleaning Base
Plug the power cord into the cleaning
base and then into an electrical outlet.
Make sure arm is in the up position
before inserting shaver.Push down to
release arm. It will "pop-up".
Place the shaver into the unit, head side
down, and slide its “tail”toward the
“neck” of the base until it stops.
Push the arm down until it contacts the
shaver (clicks into place).
Charging
Your shaver automatically begins to
recharge as soon as it is in place in the
cleaning base.While it is charging, the
blue indicator light will flash; when it is
fully charged the blue light will stop
blinking and glow steadily.
Your Shaver can also be recharged by
plugging it into the cord directly.
■ Use only the charging adapter
supplied with the shaver.
■ Make sure your sha ver is turned off.
■ 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.

Cleaning your shaver
TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE,
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLEAN
YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH USE.
Before cleaning,detach the handheld
unit from the power supply cord before
cleaning.The cutting system of this
shaver was designed to be cleaned
by rinsing under warm running water
or by brushing.
Cleaning your Remington®branded
shaver is easy.
■ Open the hair pocket by pressing
the release button and rotating
away from the body of the shaver.
You may blow
out the stubble
thoroughly,or
rinse the shaver
head in water.
Rinse both sides
of the head
assembly.
■ At Least Once a Week:
For more complete cleaning,remove
the cutter retainer assembly from
the hair pocket by turning the center
knob approximately 1/4 turn
counter clockwise.Hold cutter
retainer assembly
as shown, and
remove head by
turning approximately 1/8 turn
in the direction
shown. Brush
clean both the
head and the cutter.
Reassemble head
to cutter retainer
assembly by aligning and turning
head 1/8 turn in the
opposite direction.
Repeat this process
for each of the 3
heads. Clean each
head and cutter set
one at a time to
prevent mixing cutter
components. (These should be kept
as sets).After cleaning, place cutter
retainer assembly in the hair pocket,
and secure by turning center knob
approximately 1/4 turn clockwise.
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
Remington®Shaver Saver®(SP-4)
Lubricant.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 or plugged into an electrical
outlet as it may cause damage to the
unit’s cutters.The shaver shall not be
used until it has dried.
■ Worn or damaged parts should be
replaced with Remington®branded
replacement parts only.

increments.When only 20% of the
charge remains,the recharge red
warning light illuminates.
Troubleshooting:
■ If your R-1000 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 approximately five
minutes before shaving.
■ Your cord/cordless shaver should
not be used strictly as a cordoperated 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.

How To Use Shaver
To Shave
Push the on/off button
to activate the shaver
for shaving.
The Power Clean
shaver needs no
adjustments to the
heads or cutters
before you shave.
The floating heads will
automatically adjust to
the contours of your face. It is not
necessary to apply pressure while
shaving…let the shaver glide lightly
on your skin.This gentle touch makes
shaving easier and helps avoid
possible skin irritation.
Use short, circular
strokes. Use your free
hand to stretch your
skin.This encourages
your whiskers to stand
out, making it easier
for them to enter the
cutting chamber.
This is a washable
shaver,the headassembly part
of which may be
cleaned under water.
