Before use
This Ladies Wet/Dry shaver can be
used for wet shaving with lather in
the bath or shower. If you prefer, the
shaver is also designed to be used
dry. Our research has shown that
you can enjoy closer and smoother
shaves using warm water and shav-
ing lather. Treat yourself to wet lath-
er shaves for at least three weeks
and notice the difference. Please
note that your skin needs about 30
days to adjust to any new shaving
method.
The pop-up trimmer will be able to
cut longer hairs with ease.
Cleaning is so simple. Just rinse out
the shaving head under running
water in the shower. No mess, no
fuss!
Charge the shaver a full eight hours
before the first shave by setting it
into the charging adaptor and plugging
the adaptor into an AC wall outlet.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Charging
Charge the shaver fully for 8 hours
before using it the first time, when it
seems to be losing speed, or when
it has not been used for an extend-
ed period. If not used regularly, the
shaver should be recharged every
six months to preserve battery life.
Charging once a week is recom-
mended. A tull charge will supply
the power for about 8 shaves (3
minutes per shave).
Switch the shaver off and set it firm-
ly into the charging adaptor. Keep
the adaptor level. Plug the adaptor
into an AC outlet.
The charge indicator lamp should
glow green and it will stay on until
the shaver is removed from the
charging adaptor.
Using your shaver
Apply shaving lather generously on
the skin. Remove the protective cap,
then switch the shaver on. Fora
best results, move the shaver in
back and forth motion, while keep-
ing the shaver head flat against the
skin surface so that the two trim-
mers and foil system work together
at the same time. Use the pop-up
trimmer to cut long hairs before
shaving.

CONSERVE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES

Antes de usar la unidad
Esta maquina depiladora de uso en
seco/mojado puede emplearse para
depilaciones en mojado con
espuma en el baño o la ducha. Si lo
prefiere, la depiladora también está
diseñada para uso en seco.
Nuestras investigaciones han
demostrado que las depilaciones
más al ras y más suaves se
obtienen usando agua caliente y
espuma para depilación. Pruebe las
depilaciones en mojado con
espuma durante por lo menos tres
semanas, y sienta la diferencia.
Tenga presente que su piel necesita
unos 30 días para adaptarse a
cualquier método de afeitado. La
recortadora incorporada permite
cortar fácilmente los pelos más
largos.
La limpieza del aparato es muy
simple. Simplemente enjuage la
cabeza depiladora bajo el agua
corriente de la ducha. ¡Así de
sencillo!
Antes de depilarse por primera vez,
cargue la máquina depiladora
durante ocho horas completas; para
cargarla, instálela en el adaptador
de carga y conecte el adaptador a
un tomacorriente mural de CA.

antes de usarla por primera vez,
cuando comience a funcionar más
lentamente, o cuando no se haya
usado durante un período largo de
tiempo. Si la máquina depiladora no
es usada en forma periódica, le
recomendamos cargarla cada seis
meses para mantener la pila en
buenas condiciones.

cargarla una vez por semana. Una
carga completa suministrará
energía suficiente para
aproximadamente 8 depilaciones (3
minutos por depilación). |
