How to Use
Charging
Before using your shaver for the first time,p u t
it on charge for 24 hours.
Preparing the System
Cleaning solution:
1. Press the latch but-
tons on the sides of
the cleaning base
and lift the upper
portion off the unit.
You will need to
keep the buttons
pressed in as you
move the upper
portion away from
the base.The clean-
ing solution tank is
in the unit’s bottom
portion.
2. Remove the filter
from the tank and
set aside.
3. Pour the bottle of
cleaning solution
into the base of the
unit through the
opening where the filter was removed.
Fill tank to the bottom of the fill tab.
4.
Place the filter back into its original position.
NOTE: It is important to make sure the filter
is in place.The filter collects hair clippings
and debris,and should be replaced along
with the solution. Failure to do so will
permanently clog the system rendering it
inoperable.
5. Replace the top portion of the cleaning
base by lining up the three tall posts
with the three holes in the tank.Push
the top portion down until the two
latches click into place.
6. You can dispose of the bottle and cap
with your normal trash,or recycle where
local ordinances apply.
Operating the
Charging/Cleaning System
Plug the power cord into the cleaning base
and then into an electrical outlet.
Place the shaver into the unit,head side
down,and slide its “tail”toward the
“neck”of the base until it clicks into place.
Charging
Your shaver automatically begins to
recharge as soon as it clicks into place in
the cleaning base.While it is charging,the
green indicator light will flash; when it is
fully charged the green light will stop
blinking and glow steadily.
Cleaning
To activate cleaning mode,simply press the
CLEAN button on the cleaning base.The
yellow indicator light flashes through the
entire cleaning cycle,which lasts approxi-
mately 25 minutes.When the cleaning
cycle has been completed,the yellow light
will stop blinking and glow steadily.The
unit then returns to charging mode.
! Wait until the cleaning cycle has finished
before removing the shaver from the base.
If the shaver is removed during the clean-
ing cycle it will be covered with cleaning
solution and be unuseable.
Solution levels
The cleaning solution will slowly evaporate
with use. When the solution levels get low,
the red replacement indicator light will
begin to flash. This means you have
enough cleaning solution left for approxi-
mately 5 more cleanings.If the red light
stops blinking and glows steadily, the unit
will not operate until the solution and filter
have been replaced.
Replacing the Filter and Solution
Only the Remington
®
special cleaning
solution and filter can be used with the
Smart System.The cleaning solution
contains a high percentage of alcohol and a
special oil that lubricates your shaver each
time it is cleaned.The filter is specially
designed to collect hair debris yet allow for
the system to clean your shaver.
To refill the cleaning solution and replace
the filter, follow the steps for "Preparing the
System" above.But before replacing the
upper portion of the unit,rinse out the tank
with fresh water and allow it to air dry to
remove any sediment.
Wipe off the unit periodically with a damp
cloth and remove any hair debris that has
collected where the shaver sits.
! To avoid damage to the cleaning system,
use only Remington special cleaning
solution.

filter is model #CC-100.U.S.residents:

To Charge Your Shaver
The MS-5500 and MS-5700 can also be
recharged by plugging it into the cord
directly.
■ Use only the charging adapter supplied
with the shaver.
■ Make sure your shaver is turned off.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver,then
plug the charging adapter into the elec-
trical outlet.A charging indicator light
will come on.
■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged,so
you can leave it plugged in and charg-
ing between shaves.
■ To preserve the life of the batteries,let
them fully run out every six months,
then recharge them for a full 24 hours.
■ Cord/cordless rechargeable shavers
can run directly off the cord if neces-
sary.They will not recharge while you
are shaving,so after shaving with the
cord,turn the unit off and set it aside to
charge.Cord/cordless shavers should
not be used strictly as cord-operated
shavers,as continued cord-only use
will result in reduction of battery life.
■ Quick Charge provides up to three
weeks of shaving after a one-hour
charge,or a single shave after a
five-minutes charge.
■ If your shaver’s charge runs out in the
middle of a shave,you can push the
power reserve button to get an extra 5
minutes of power.
NOTE: If your shaver battery is completely
discharged or the shaver has not been
used for a long time,the shaver may not
start when operated using the cord.If this
happens,charge the shaver for approxi-
mately five minutes before shaving.
