Cleaning reminder
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse
the shaving unit regularly during your shave to
ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over
your skin.
3 Switch off and clean the appliance after each
use.
Note: Make sure you rinse all foam or shaving
gel off the appliance.
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated. This is normal. Your skin and beard need
time to adapt to any new shaving system. To allow
your skin to adapt to this new appliance, we advise
you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week)
and exclusively with this appliance for a period of
3 weeks.
When you switch off the appliance, the cleaning
reminder flashes to remind you to clean the
appliance.
Clean the appliance and attachments after
-
each use to prevent clogging and damage
(see 'How do I clean my appliance and the
attachments?').
Clean the shaving heads thoroughly once a
-
month or when the appliance does not shave
as well as it used to.
Trimming
You can use the trimmer to groom your sideburns
and moustache.
1 Push the trimmer release slide downwards to
open the trimmer.
2 Switch on the appliance.
