rection of your beard. You may gently
increase the amount of pressure as
your skin becomes accustomed to
this shaver. Applying excessive pres-
sure does not provide a closer shave.
System outer foil
(see fig. 5)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 6)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 7)
Warning To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, discon-
nect the power cord from the
shaver and turn the shaver off be-
fore cleaning.
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Turn the shaver on and pour some
water over the outer foil.
After about 10-20 seconds, turn the
shaver off.
Remove the foil frame and clean it
with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and remove
the protective cap to allow the sys-
tem outer foil to dry completely.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the system outer foil at least once a
year and the inner blade at least once
every 2 years to maintain your shav-
ers cutting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 8)
Squeeze the system outer foil re-
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in-
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 9)
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it. Remove the inner blade,
one at a time, by grasping them firmly
at both ends and pulling straight
away from the shaver. To insert the
new inner blade, hold the blade, one
at a time, at both ends and press
downward until it snaps into the
shaver.
