Using the appliance

You can use the appliance wet or dry to shave or
trim hair on all parts of the body below the
neckline.
Always check the appliance and all accessories
before you use it. Do not use the appliance or any
accessory if it is damaged, as this may cause
injury. Always replace a damaged part with one of
the original type.
- Use this appliance for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only
be used by one person.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry
Note: This appliance is waterproof (Fig. 3). It is
suitable for use in the bath or shower and for
cleaning under the tap. For safety reasons, this
appliance can therefore only be used without cord
(Fig. 7).
Trimming
Note: Do not use the trimmer head on sensitive
areas without the trimming comb. As the trimmer
head may become warm during extended use, it is
recommended to always have the trimming comb
attached when you use the appliance.
- If you are trimming for the first time, be careful.
Do not move the appliance too fast. Make
smooth and gentle movements.
- When you trim for the first time, use trimming
setting 7mm (9/32 in.) to familiarize yourself
with the appliance.
- Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, you may want to try different
trimming directions(i.e. upwards, downwards, or
across). Practice is best for optimum results.
- Always make smooth and gentle movements
and be sure the surface of the guard always
stays in contact with your skin.
- For trimming, make sure hair is clean and dry as
wet hair tends to stick to the body and when
trimming sensitive areas, always use the
trimming comb attachment.
Trimming
1 Press the length selector (1) and then slide it up
or down to select the desired hair length setting
(2) (Fig. 8).
2 Press the trimmer head on/off button to turn
on the appliance (Fig. 9).
3 Trim against the direction of hair growth for
optimal performance (Fig. 10).
Note: Make sure that the flat part of the
trimming comb is always fully in contact with
the skin.
4 Turn off and clean the appliance after each use.
Shaving
Do not use the shaver head to shave or trim hair
on face or head.
- When shaving sensitive areas for the first time,
you may feel some discomfort, irritation or
reddening of the skin. This is normal as your
skin needs time to adjust to shaving.
- If your hair is longer than 10 mm (13/32in.), trim
hair to a length of 3mm (1/8in.) first for optimum
shaving results.
- For dry use, be certain that your skin is clean
and dry before using the shaver head.
Shaving
Inspect shaving foil of the shaver head before
each use. Replace the foil element when the
foil is damaged (Fig. 11).
1 Press the shaver head on/off button to turn on
the appliance (Fig. 12).
2 Stretch your skin taut with your free hand (Fig.
13), (Fig. 14). Gently press the shaver head to
skin and move it slowly and smoothly against
the direction of hair growth (Fig. 15),.
- Do not press too hard. Too much pressure can
distort the foil and cause skin irritation.
- Make sure the shaver head is always in full
contact with your skin.
- The shaver is bi-directional, which means that
you can shave by moving the appliance up and
down. Shave against the direction of hair
growth for optimal performance.
3 Switch off and clean the appliance after each
use.
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to
clean the appliance.
