To Trim

To use the Easy­View

TM

locking pop-up
trimmer, simply push
the trimmer button
up. The trimmer will pop-up for use.
Hold the shaver as shown in the
illustration. To conserve battery
energy (on rechargeable shavers
only), it is recommended to use
the trimmer only when needed for
trimming. When through using, push
the trimmer button downward to lock
into the off position.

NOTE: It is important to always use
the button to close the trimmer to
avoid damaging the locking mecha­nism.

Trim Sideburns

Simply touch the
comb-edge of the
trimmer to the
desired line for neat,
clean sideburns.

Trim Mustache

Hold the shaver at
desired trim line for
a quick, easy, professional trim. The
trimmer can also be used to trim the
upper edge of your mustache.

How To Use

To Shave

Push the on/off button to activate the
shaver for shaving.

The MicroFlex® 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.

Getting a Close, Comfortable
Shave

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. Make sure
that the cutter head
assembly is in the
locked position.

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.

■ Always keep the protective head

guard on the cutter head and keep
the trimmer in the “off”position
when the shaver is not in use. The
head guard must be put on with
the rear tab to the back of the
shaver.

For a Better Shave

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

ComfortSelectTM
Suspension
System

Your Remington®
shaver is equipped with
ComfortSelectTM suspension system
for personalized comfort. For a closer
shave, move the ComfortSelectTM
lever to the right. For a more com­fortable shave with less irritation,
move the lever to the left.

A shaving
appliance is a
washable shaver,
the hand-held
part of which
may be cleaned
under water.

34378_R825s_IB.indd 6-7 6/26/07 4:47:49 PM

Cleaning your shaver

TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE,
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU
CLEAN YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH
USE.
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.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Usage Tips

8

Before using read the important
safety instruction section in front
of the manual.

Charging

Prior to using your shaver for the first
time, put it on charge for 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.

■ Special feature 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.

■ Provides up to two weeks worth of
shaving after a one hour charge or
a single shave after five minutes
of charging.

Note: It may take up to 3 cycles for
the battery to reach full capacity.

Model R-800

A blue indicator light shows charg­ing. A red low-battery indicator
illuminates to show when the shaver
needs recharging. This also indicates
approximately 5 minutes of shav­ing time left when the indicator first
comes on.

Model R-825, R-825s

A blue 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.

Troubleshooting:

■ If your R-800/825/825s 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.

When is it time to replace your heads
and cutters?

It is very important to replace your heads and
cutters when necessary to insure a close, comfortable
shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced
every 12 months. Here are some signs of head and
cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed.

Irritation

As the heads get excessively worn there may be some
skin irritation. This would be especially noticed when
applying after shave lotion.

Pulling

When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling
and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an
indication that it is time to replace your heads and
cutters.

The replacement part for this shaver is model #SP-27.
