Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before
using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
◗Only use the powerplug supplied to charge
the appliance.
◗The powerplug transforms 100-240 volts to a
safe low voltage of less than 24 volts. Only use
the powerplug that comes with the appliance
to guarantee safe transformation.
◗The powerplug contains a transformer. Do
not cut off the powerplug to replace it with
another plug, as this will cause a hazardous
situation.
◗If the powerplug is damaged, always have it
replaced by one of the original type in order
to avoid a hazard.
◗Charge, store and use the appliance at a
temperature between 5cC and 35cC.
◗Do not recharge the shaver in a closed pouch.
C◗Make sure the powerplug does not get wet.
C◗The appliance complies with the
internationally approved IEC safety regulations
and can be safely cleaned under the tap.

water is not too hot, to prevent your hands from
getting burnt.

Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving

The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the
appliance is to rinse the shaving unit and the hair
chamber with hot water after every use.
Be careful with hot water. Always check if the

getting burnt.
When you clean the appliance, it is not necessary
to take the shaving heads (cutters and guards)
apart. If you want to take them apart, be sure not
to mix up the cutters and guards, since grinding of
the cutters in the guards only guarantees optimal
performance for each matching set. If you
accidentally mix up the sets, it could take several
weeks before optimal shaving performance is
restored.
