Getting Used To Your Shaver

MicroFlex®Extra features more blades than any other rotary for
an extra close,extra comfortable,extra fast shave ­Guaranteed!

As with every shaver,your shaver will improve over time. So
allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style

and for your skin to adjust to the new
shaver.The adaptation period may take
a little longer if your skin is sensitive,if
you are switching from a different way
of shaving,or if you alternate between
shaving methods.

Turn on the Shaver

Push up the on/off button while pushing
in its locking bar. (Locking bar on R-842
and R-845 only)

Mustache Trimming

Hold shaver heads at the desired trim
line for a quick,easy,professional trim.
Trim the upper edge of your moustache
with the Easy-View®pop-up trimmer.

Pop Up the Trimmer

Hold the shaver as shown,and push up

the trimmer button to pop it up for use.
To conserve energy,we recommend
using the trimmer only when needed for
trimming.When you’re done,push the

trimmer button downward to lock it in the off position.

Trim Sideburns

neat,clean line.

More Quality Shaving Products

Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the non-greasy
Remington®Pre-Shave Lotion,(SP-6) specially formulated with
aloe for extra conditioning and protection.

Operation Instructions

The MicroFlex®Extra 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; just let the shaver glide lightly on your
skin.This gentle touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid
possible skin irritation.

Cleaning Your Shaver

IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR SHAVER.

fingers on rib areas of head assembly.Using the shaver brush,
