Your New Shaver
Congratulations, on your purchase of the
Remington
®
Smooth & Silky
®
Body Contour
Shaver.This shaver can be used
wet with
foam lather or soapy lather which provides a
smoother, closer shave for some users, or
dry
as a regular shaver.The shaver is totally sub-
mersible so you can clean it by rinsing under
a faucet.
Do not submerge the charging
stand in water.
The charging stand (WDF-3000 and WDF-
5000) with AC cord features a built-in auto-
matic voltage converter, for international use.
Plug the charging stand into any wall outlet,
and the unit automatically converts to
whichever voltage is being used.

special plug or adapter which is not included.)
CAUTION
1.
Persons who are skin sensitive to cosmetics, or are easily
irritated by shaving, or suffer from skin allergies, should test
a section of the arm or leg before using the shaver.
2. Because the foils are very thin and specially formed, do
not press hard against the foils nor drop them. Warped
or damaged foils will produce poor shaving results. Also,
damaged foils may cause injury to the skin. If damage
should occur, immediately replace the foils.
3. When rinsing your shaver, use cold or warm water. DO
NOT use hot water, sea water, or cleanser.
4. Do not leave the unit submerged in water.
5. To prevent possible damage to the cutter assembly
and foils, persons who use underarm deodorants
must clean and dry the foils and cutter assembly
thoroughly after each use.

HYPO-ALLERGENIC GOLD FOILS (WDF-5000 only)
Your new Smooth & Silky
®
Plus Body Contour Shaver comes with hypo-allergenic
gold foils that will help prevent aggravating skin irritations such as bumps or rashes
after shaving.
TO SHAVE UNDERARMS, LEGS, ARMS AND BIKINI AREA
If you shave regularly:
Slide the trimmer button to the left (short hair/stub-
ble) or center (short and long hair/last shave over two
days ago) position.
For long hair trimming:
Slide the trimmer button all the way to the right to
raise the front trimmer.
Tip the shaver slightly, allowing the front trimmer to
glide along the skin to remove long hairs.
Move the front trimmer against the direction of hair
growth.
When finished trimming the long hair, slide the button back to the left (short
hair/stubble) or center (short and long hair/last shave over two days ago) posi-
tion to remove the remaining short hairs.
Using Shaver with Soap or Foam Lather
When using soap or foam lather the shaver will glide smoothly over the skin,
cleansing away oil residue while at the same time leaving skin soft and smooth.
Apply the soap or foam generously to the skin. Do not use shaving cream of the
non-lathering type, nourishing cream or skin lotion.
Clean shaver after every use (see Cleaning Your Shaver).
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Your Shaver
Turn shaver OFF.
Press the two side release buttons to
remove the head assembly.
Remove the foil assembly.
To clean foils, grasp foil/ head assembly
by the ends between two fingers and tap
lightly on a hard surface to remove any
loose hairs. Or, you may rinse the foils
under cold or warm running water.
To avoid damage to the foils, DO NOT use the
brush to clean foils, nor attempt to replace or
remove the head assembly while the shaver
is running.
Use the cleaning brush to help remove any
loose hairs from the cutters and trimmers.
You may also rinse the shaver under cold or
warm running water, or in a basin. DO NOT use hot water.
After cleaning, replace the foils and head assembly. If rinsed with
water, hold shaver facing downward into sink, and turn on for a
few seconds to dispel additional water - a gentle shake will help.
Wipe the surface of the main unit with a dry towel.
To clean the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth.
A mild detergent may be used. DO NOT use strong detergents
or other chemicals. Wipe dry with towel. DO NOT use hairdryer
or heater to dry shaver.
When is it time to replace your foils
and cutters?
It is very important to replace your foils and cutters when
necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without
irritation. We recommend that the foils be replaced every
6 months and cutters be replaced every 12 months.
Here are some signs of foil and cutter wear, indicating that
replacement is needed.
IRRITATION: As the foils get excessively worn, there may be
some skin irritation. This would be especially noticed when
applying lotion. 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 cutters and foils.
Visually check the foils for any signs that the cutters have worn
through the foils. It is always best when replacing the cutters to
replace the foils at the same time. To avoid possible damage, it
is not recommended to remove the cutter and trimmer assem-
bly or cutter, except for replacement.

lar type of hair growth patterns.
