Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your rst shaves may not bring you the result you expect and your skin
may even become slightly irritated.This is normal.Your skin and beard
need time to adapt to any new shaving system.
We advise you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) for a period of
3 weeks to allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver. During this period,
use your new electric shaver exclusively and do not use other shaving
methods. If you use different shaving methods, it is more difcult for your
skin to adapt to the new shaving system.
- Only use this shaving attachment to shave facial hair.You can use this
attachment wet or dry with shaving gel or shaving foam. Do not use
this attachment to shave body hair or scalp hair.The different
attachments of this appliance are designed for specic types of hair
and your facial hair differs from body hair or scalp hair (Fig. 7).
Note:This appliance does not work from the mains for safety reasons.
