Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using
the appliance and save them for future reference.
Only use the powerplug supplied.
The powerplug transforms 100-240 volts to a
safe low voltage of less than 24 volts.
The powerplug contains a transformer. Do not
cut off the powerplug to replace it with another
plug, as this will cause a hazardous situation.
Do not use a damaged powerplug.
If the powerplug is damaged, always have it
replaced by one of the original type in order to
avoid a hazard.
Make sure the powerplug does not get wet.
Charge and store the appliance at a temperature
between 5 cC and 35 cC.
Always unplug the shaver before cleaning it
under the tap.
The appliance complies with the internationally
approved IEC safety regulations and can be safely
cleaned under the tap.
Be careful with hot water. Always check if the water
is not too hot, to prevent your hands from getting
burnt.
This washable shaver is not suitable for shaving
in the shower.
Do not immerse the shaver in water.
Water may leak from the socket at the bottom
of the appliance when you rinse it.This is normal
and not dangerous because all electronics are
enclosed in a sealed power unit inside the shaver.
