When your shaver is switched on
During your shave, you receive feedback on how
much pressure you are applying via the light ring at
the top of your shaver handle.
The light ring on the handle lights up in various colors
during your shave to give you feedback on how much
pressure you are exerting. These are the default
settings:
- When you don't apply enough pressure, the
light ring lights up blue.
- When you apply the correct amount of
pressure, the light ring lights up green.
- When you apply too much pressure, the light
ring lights up orange.
When your shaver is switched on, you can customize
the type of pressure feedback you receive.

Shaving
You can use this appliance either wet or dry, or even
under the shower. For a wet shave, apply some water
and shaving foam or gel to your skin and rinse the
shaving heads under the tap with warm water before
following the steps below.
1Switch on the appliance.
2Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular
movements to catch all hairs growing in different
directions (see 'Main menu'). Make sure each
shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert
gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin
irritation. When you apply too much pressure, the
orange light ring lights up (see 'What is my shaver
telling me?').

18 English
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the
shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure
that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
3Use the narrow sides of the shaving unit to shave
in hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline
and under your nose.
4Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.
Note: Make sure you rinse all foam or shaving gel
off the appliance.

overall shave on the handle. You can activate this
feature via the app (see 'When your shaver is switched
off').
In the menu on your shaver, you can view the motion
feedback from your last shave (see 'Main menu'). You
can personalize your feedback settings, see more
detailed feedback and get personalized advice via the
app.
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated. This is normal. Your skin needs time to adapt
to any new shaving system.
Follow the advice provided by the app and shave
regularly (at least 3 times a week) with this shaver for a

19
English
period of 3-4 weeks to allow your skin to adapt to the
new shaver.
