the razor for approximately 6 minutes gives
enough energy for a 3-minute cordless shave.
Put ItToThe Test & ShavingTips
◗21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a
fact that your skin and beard need time to
adjust to a new shaving system.
◗Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks
to fully enjoy the closeness of a Norelco
shave.
◗At first you may not get as close a shave as
you expect, or your face may even become
slightly irritated.This is normal since your
beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest
3 weeks and you’ll soon experience the full
joy of your new razor.
◗Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods
during the adjustment period, it may make it
more difficult to adapt to the Norelco shaving
system.
◗If you are still not convinced after 21 days,
Norelco will refund you the full purchase
price, guaranteed.
HowTo Shave With An Electric Razor
◗Use this razor for its intended household use
as described in this manual.
◗Shaving with a clean face gives the best
results.

results.
◗Always switch Razor OFF and remove from

broken. Facial injury may occur.
Every Week: Razor Heads
CThe easiest and most hygienic way to clean the
razor heads is to rinse them every week with
hot water: Water from the tap should be on a
hot setting, BUT BE CAREFUL TO TEST
WATER FIRST SO AS NOT TO BURN OR
SCALD HANDS.
◗Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving
results.
◗You may also quickly rinse your razor heads
after each use.

could take several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.

Assembly in such a way that the sides with
the little holes point to the middle of the
shaving unit.

Assembly if the ‘wings’ are between the brackets.

fit exactly into the recesses.

(e.g. Norelco Razor Cleaner,model RC1776, or
rubbing alcohol) and lubricated with Norelco
Razor Lubricant, model AL80, or one drop of
mineral oil (in the center of the head). This helps
prevent wear of the shaving heads.
