Using the appliance.
Shaving
1Set the trim/shave slide to the 'shave' position (fig. 5).
2Put the desired shaving foil on the shaving head.
◗Use the golden shaving foil to shave the underarms
(fig. 6).
◗Use the golden shaving foil to shave the bikini line
(fig. 7).
◗Use the silver shaving foil to shave the legs (fig. 8).
Do not use the silver shaving foil to shave the underarms
and the bikini line in order to reduce the risk of injuries.
3Switch the ladyshave on (fig. 9).
4Place the shaving unit gently on the skin and move
the ladyshave slowly against the direction of hair
growth while pressing it lightly.
◗The angle between the skin and the ladyshave
should be 70cto get the best results (fig. 8).
Trimming
◗Put the comb attachment onto the shaving head to
trim the hairs to an even length (about 5 mm), e.g.
in the bikini zone (fig. 10).
The comb attachment can be put onto the shaving head
in different directions, depending on the area to be
trimmed.
1Set the trim/shave slide to the 'trim' position (fig. 11).
2To trim the bikini zone, place the comb attachment
on the shaving head with the recess of the
attachment on the front of the appliance (fig. 12).
3To trim the underarms, place the comb attachment
on the shaving head with the recess of the
attachment on the back of the appliance (fig. 13).
4Switch the ladyshave on.
5Move the appliance against the direction of hair
growth.
◗Make sure the surface of the comb always stays in
contact with the skin (fig. 14).
Shaping
1Remove the comb attachment to shape precise lines
and contours, e.g. in the bikini zone (fig. 15).

slide to the 'trim' position (fig. 11).
