Frequently asked questions
This chapter lists the questions most frequently
asked about the shaver. If you cannot nd the answer
to your question, contact the Customer Care Centre
in your country.
Question Answer
Why doesn’t
the shaving unit
glide smoothly
over my skin?
You may not have applied enough shaving
conditioner. Press the shaving conditioner button
until a sufcient amount of NIVEA FOR MEN
shaving conditioner has been released.This makes
the shaving unit glide smoothly over your skin again.
Why doesn’t
the shaver
shave as well as
it used to?
You may not have cleaned the shaver properly.
Thoroughly clean the shaver (see chapter ‘Cleaning
and maintenance’).
Long hairs may be obstructing the shaving heads.
Clean the shaving heads by following the steps of the
extra-thorough cleaning method described below.
The shaving unit may be damaged or worn. Replace
the shaving unit (see chapter ‘Replacement’).
Why
doesn’t the
shaver work
when I press
the on/off
button?
The battery may be empty. Recharge the battery
(see chapter ‘Getting started’).
The travel lock may be activated. Deactivate the
travel lock (see chapter ‘Storage and transport’,
section ‘Transport’).
ENGLISH18

Question Answer
Dried shaving conditioner may block the shaving
heads in the shaving unit. Clean the shaver
thoroughly before you continue shaving (see chapter
‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
You may not have reassembled the shaving unit
properly after extra-thorough cleaning. When you
reassemble the shaving unit, make sure you turn each
guard anticlockwise until it locks into position.
Why does
little shaving
conditioner
come out of
the holes even
though there
is enough
conditioner in
the cartridge?
One of the conditioner holes may be blocked. Rinse
or soak the shaving unit. If this does not work, pump
shaving conditioner into the shaving conditioner
cartridge until conditioner starts to come out of the
blocked hole. If this does not work either, try the
following method: 1) Switch off the shaver 2) Pull the
shaving unit off the shaver 3) Put your nger on the
hole that is not blocked 4) Switch on the shaver 5)
Press the shaving conditioner button several seconds
until conditioner starts to come out of the blocked
hole again.
You may not have put the shaving heads back into
their original holders. One of the shaving heads does
not have a shaving conditioner hole in its centre and
needs to be placed in a specic holder. Make sure
you put the shaving head without conditioner hole in
the correct holder.This is the holder that is closest to
the on/off button when the shaving unit is assembled
on the shaver.
ENGLISH 19

Question Answer
Why
doesn’t any
shaving
conditioner
come out
of the holes
when I press
the shaving
conditioner
button?
The shaving conditioner cartridge is almost empty.
Rell the cartridge (see chapter ‘Getting started’).
Why does the
trimmer make
more noise
than other
trimmers?
Due to the new open design, you hear the cutting
action of the trimmer more clearly than is the
case with other trimmers.This is normal and does
not mean that there is something wrong with the
trimmer.
I dropped the
shaver and
the shaving
unit fell apart.
How should I
reassemble the
shaving unit?
Place the cutters in the shaving head holders with
the cutter legs pointing upwards. Place the guards
onto the holders (over the cutters) and turn them
anticlockwise until they lock into position. One of the
guards does not have a shaving conditioner hole in
the centre and needs to be attached onto a specic
holder.This is the holder that is closest to the on/off
button when the shaving unit is assembled on the
shaver. If the cutters and the guards have become
mixed up, it may take several weeks before optimal
shaving performance is restored.
ENGLISH20

Question Answer
Why does the
shaver suddenly
produce a
strange noise?
You probably did not reassemble the shaving unit
properly. Place the cutters in the shaving head
holders with the cutter legs pointing upwards.
Place the guards onto the holders (over the cutters)
and turn them anticlockwise until they lock into
position. One of the guards does not have a shaving
conditioner hole in the centre and needs to be
attached onto a specic holder. This is the holder
that is closest to the on/off button when the shaving
unit is assembled on the shaver. If the cutters and
the guards have become mixed up, it may take
several weeks before optimal shaving performance
is restored.
Extra-thorough cleaning method
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
1 Pull the shaving unit off the shaver.
2 Turn the guard clockwise and lift it from the
shaving unit.
Note: Only remove one shaving head at a time. This
ensures that you always put the shaving head back
into its original holder, which is necessary because two
of the shaving heads have special holes for the shaving
conditioner. This also ensures that you do not mix up
the cutters and guards of different shaving heads,
which affects the shaving performance.
ENGLISH 21

3 If necessary, remove the cutter from the guard.
4 Clean the cutter and guard with the brush
supplied.
5 After cleaning, place the cutter back
into the shaving unit with the cutter legs
pointing upwards.
6 Place the guard back onto the shaving head
holder (over the cutter).
7 Turn the guard anticlockwise until it locks into
position.
