Before using, read the important safety instructions in front of the manual.
1. Plug power adaptor into shaver. (Diagram A)
2. Plug adaptor into wall outlet. (Diagram B)
3. Charge shaver for 24 hours before its first use. Note: During initial charge ignore
the electronic indicators as they are in "start up cycle". (Diagram C)
4. For future charge times, see full charge time for your model on page 5.
5. Use shaver until recharge is required.
For shavers equipped with a quick charge:

■ Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is
free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.
■ Ensure your skin is dry and free of oils. Try using Remington's FaceSaver pre-
shave powder to help the shaver glide across the skin.
■ Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that all three heads are
touching the skin with equal pressure.
■ Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for them
to enter the cutting chamber.
■ Use moderate to slow circular stroking movement.
■ The use of short circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave,
especially along the neck and chin line.
■ Do not press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the rotary heads.
**We recommend that you use your new shaver daily for up to four weeks
to allow time for your hair and skin to become accustomed to the
new shaving system**

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure
a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced
every 12 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that
replacement is needed:
■ Irritation: As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin
irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.
■ Pulling: When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of
closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your
heads and cutters.
