Instructions for Charging

Before charging shaver, wipe off any
moisture from the shaver and charg­ing stand. Do not place shaver into
charging stand (exclud­ing Model WDF-7000)
while shaver or hands
are wet. Always charge
shaver in a cool, dry
place.

■ To charge your
shaver, connect the cord from the
charging stand to your electrical
outlet.

■ Be sure shaver is OFF before
placing on the charging stand. The
green indicator light on the shaver
indicates your shaver is charging.

■ Charge shaver for 18–24 hours
before using it for the first time
and thereafter as
required. Shaver cannot
be overcharged so
you may leave it on
the charging stand
between shaves, or you
may remove it for a
week or more before recharging.

■ To avoid damaging the foils, do not
push on the foils when inserting
the shaver into the charging stand.

■ In order to preserve the life of
the batteries, they should be fully
discharged every six months and
then fully charged for 24 hours.

unit with a dry towel. The shaver
shall not be used until it has dried.
To clean 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 hair dryer or heater to dry
shaver.

When 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: If the foils get exces­sively worn,you may experience
some skin irritation.
DRAG: When the cutters wear, you
may feel a sense of pulling and a
loss of closeness when you shave.
WEAR: 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.

NOTE: The WDF-3500/5500/6000/7000
uses the SP-130 (foils only) or SP-132
(foils and cutters) replacement parts

Usage Tips

Getting a close,
comfortable shave

Remington® shavers need no adjust­ments to their heads or cutters
before you shave. The heads will
automatically adjust to the contours
of your leg.

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 legs to
adjust to the new shaver. The adap­tation period may take a little longer
if your skin is sensitive, or if you
alternate between shaving methods.

Before you begin:

■ Make sure your legs are clean
before starting.

■ Always use a clean shaver.

To Shave

■ Slide the ON/OFF button up to
activate the shaver for shaving.

■ Hold the shaver so all the heads
touch your leg together. 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
head touches the skin.
This could cause skin
irritation.

■ Use short, circular strokes. You can
use your free hand to stretch your
skin. This encourages your hair
to stand out, making it easier for
them to enter the cutting chamber.

■

It is not necessary to apply pressure
while shaving, just let the shaver
glide lightly on your skin. Never
press hard. Pressing only flattens
your hairs, which makes it harder for
them to enter the cutting chamber. It
will also wear out the cutting surface
more quickly. A gentle touch makes
shaving easier and helps avoid
possible skin irritation.

Using Shaver with Soap or Foam
Lather

When using soap or foam lather, the
shaver will glide smoothly over the
skin, cleaning 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 skin lotion,
nourishing cream, or shaving cream
of the non-lathering type. Shaver
should be cleaned after using soap
or foam.

Caution: Not recommended for use
on head, underarms or any other
parts of the body.

The replacement parts for your
shaver is model SP-132.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning Your Shaver

The hand-held unit shall be
detatched from the
power supply cord
before cleaning. Clean
shaver after every
use. Here’s how:

■ Turn shaver OFF.

■ Press the side

release button and
open the head
assembly.

■ To clean foils, you
may rinse the foil
area under cold
or warm running
water. Or blow any loose debris
from the foil and use the brush to
wipe hair away from plastic areas.

To avoid damage to the foils, DO
NOT use the brush to clean foils,
and DO NOT try to open or close 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, close the head
assembly. If rinsed with water, hold
shaver facing downward into sink
and run for a few seconds to dispel
excess water – a gentle shake will
help. Wipe the surface of the main

FOR BEST SHAVING PERFORMANCE

We recommend that you use your
new shaver daily for two to three
weeks to allow time to find an opti­mum shaving method for your par­ticular type of hair-growth patterns.

NOTE: In case of accidental separa­tion of shaver head: To reattach
head, hold on the fully open position,
direct one of the two hinges pins
on the shaver into corresponding
slotted hole on the head assembly,
then swing the opposite hinge pin
into place.

customer service at 800-736-4648
