IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be observed, including the following.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

For additional protection, the installation of a residual
current device (rcd) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical
circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution and
fire or injury to persons.

DANGER: As with most electrical appliances, electrical
parts are electrically live even when the switch is off.

• The appliance should never be left unattended when plugged
into a power outlet, except when charging the appliance.

• This appliance should not be used by children or other persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

a person responsible for their safety. Keep the appliance and
the charging cable away from the edge of table or countertops
and out of reach of children and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities.

• This appliance is not a toy. Children shall be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is not working correctly, if it has been dropped or damaged,
or dropped into water. If the supply cord or plug of the appliance
is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. It
cannot be repaired. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

• Charge, use and store the product at a temperature between
0°C and 32°C.

being used, or where oxygen is being administered.

• Do not use this appliance with damaged or broken tracks or
cutters, as injury may occur.

• For household use only.

• Do not place or store the appliance or charging adaptor where it
can fall or be knocked into a sink or bath.

Before using your Remington

For subsequent uses, charge for 20 hours before use. The charging indicator

full charge allows 30 minutes of cordless usage time.

Use product until the battery is low. This is indicated by the shaver running
distinctly slower. Your shaver cannot be overcharged, however, if the product is
not going to be used for an extended time period (2-3 months), unplug it from
the outlet and store. Fully recharge your shaver for 20 hours when you would
like to use it again.

To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every six months then
recharge for 20 hours.

®

CHARGING CAUTIONS:

• Do not attach the power adaptor to the outlet with wet hands.

• Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

• Do not charge the shaver in close proximity to water.

HOW TO USE

Your shaver is suitable for legs, underarms and the bikini area. It can be used
dry or in the shower but only if it is unplugged.

FOR EVERYDAY SHAVING

1. Remove protective cap.

2. Turn the shaver on.

3. Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and move the shaver against

the direction of the hair growth.

4. After shaving, turn shaver off.

NOTE: Before dry shaving, make sure that the area is clean, dry and
free from creams or oils.

If you have not shaved for a while, use the flexible trimmer before shaving. This
will help you achieve a more effective shaving result:

1. Turn shaver on.

2. Hold the shaver with the trimmer facing your leg and slightly tilted towards

you (approximately at a 45º angle).

3. Move the trimmer slowly against the direction of the hair growth.

4. After shaving, turn shaver off.

TRIMMING AND SHAPING

1. Attach the bikini comb.

2. Turn the shaver on.

3. Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and press down gently.

4. Edge and shape the area as desired.

5. After shaving, turn shaver off.

6

FOR BEST SHAVING PERFORMANCE

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

CAUTION

If your skin is easily irritated by shaving, or you suffer from skin allergies, you
should test a section of your arm or leg before using the shaver.

NOTE:

• Rinse only with cool or warm water, not hot water. Do not rinse with water

hotter than 70°C.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

To ensure long lasting performance of your shaver, clean the head assembly
regularly. The easiest and the most hygienic way to clean the shaver is by
rinsing the shaving head after use with warm water. Always keep the protective
headguard on the shaving head when the shaver is not in use.

AFTER EACH USE

1. Ensure the shaver is turned off.

2. Press the release buttons to open the shaver head.

3. Blow on the foils to remove any loose debris.

4. Brush or rinse the accumulated hair from the main body of the shaver,

shaving head and cutter assembly.

5. Leave the head assembly open to let the shaver dry completely.

6. Return the shaving head to its original position and snap in place.

NOTE:

• Ensure that the shaver is turned off when cleaning.

• Do not clean the shaving foils with the brush.

• At regular intervals, put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the foils and

cutters heads.
