Removing the Headguard

Before operating your shaver, remove the Headguard, which protects the Foils and Cutter Assembly. It is important to remove the Headguard correctly to avoid damaging the clips that hold it firmly to the shaver.

1. Press lightly on the top of the

headguard.

2. Lift the lower rear edge.

3. Pull the Headguard away from

the shaver.

Operation

Use of this shaver at voltages other than the ones specified below will cause damage and will void the warranty. Model XT-100 uses 105-130 VAC, 60 Hz.

Charging

Before using your shaver for the first time, put it on charge for 24 hours. NOTE: It may take up to 3 cycles for the battery to reach full capacity.

To charge your shaver:

■ Slide the power button to the OFF position.

■ Connect the supplied power adapter to the shaver’s cord socket and then to an electrical outlet.

■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you can leave it plugged in and charging between shaves.

■ To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge every six months, then recharge them for 24 hours.

NOTE: LEDs illuminate behind the green lens when the shaver is charging.

To Shave

With the shaver unplugged, slide the ON/OFF button upward to turn on. Note that this shaver is designed only to operate on power from its batteries; it must be charged before using.

Comfort Guard

■ The comfort guard lever can be kept in the down position while shaving to expose the entire trimmer.

■ To avoid irritating sensitive areas of the face and neck, raise the comfort guard and shave normally. The guard will allow hair to pass through and be cut, but will keep the trimmer away from the skin.

■ To trim facial hair, simply lower the comfort guard.

Getting Used To Your Shaver

As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. 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.

When you first removed your shaver from its box, you may have noticed what appear to be small particles of white or gray power on the foil in or around the cutter assembly. The particles are from a coating of a special lubricant applied to the new foil and cutters to smooth breaking in your new shaver. They will disappear with use.

To shave

Slide the ON/OFF button upwards. Hold the shaver so the foil is perpendicular to your face. 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. This will distort the screen and could cause skin irritation.

NOTE: This shaver is designed only to operate from it’s batteries: it must be charged before using.

Shave with 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.

Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your whiskers, making it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It will also wear out the cutting surface more quickly.

How To Use

Before you begin:

■ 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 use a clean, dry shaver.

Cleaning Your Shaver

To assure smooth, efficient performance, it is important to clean your shaver. Cleaning your Remington® Shaver is easy.

1. Remove the Head

Assembly by holding onto the sides of the Head Assembly at the arrows, press the two head release buttons while gently lifting the assembly away from the shaver.

2. Tap the base of the Head Assembly

lightly on a flat surface. This should dislodge most of the hairs trapped within it. To guard against inadvertent damage, do not remove the Foil Assembly.

3. Next, clean the

Cutter Assembly while it is still on the shaver. Hold the shaver and Cutter Assembly as shown, and using the brush supplied, lightly brush and blow the hair clippings from between the blades.

Tip: To help reduce wear and tear, spray the Head Assembly with Remington® Spray Shaver-Saver

Lubricant after every shave. This helps remove hairs while keeping your shaver operating smoothly.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning Cautions

■ Do not use an aggressive cleansing agent as this may destroy the shaver coatings.

■ Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver is running as it may cause damage to the unit's screen or cutter.

Trimmer Care

Cleaning

■ When you clean your shaver, just brush off any clippings that may accumulate around the trimmer assembly.

■ Every six months apply a drop of light machine oil one-third and two-thirds of the way along the blade.

■ Using your fingertip, spread the oil along the teeth.

■ Run the trimmer for a few seconds to distribute oil.
