Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your shaver.
- After Each Use: Turn off the shaver. Remove the shaving head by pressing the release buttons (if applicable) or gently pulling it off. Tap out any loose hairs. Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away hairs from the foils and cutters.
- Wet Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, the shaving head can be rinsed under warm running water. Do not use hot water as it may damage the foils.
- Drying: Allow the shaving head and shaver body to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Do not use a towel or cloth on the foils as this can damage them.
- Storage: Store the shaver in a cool, dry place, preferably in its beauty bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Foil and Cutter Replacement: Over time, the foils and cutters may wear down, affecting performance. Replace them when you notice a decrease in shaving efficiency. Replacement parts can be purchased from authorized Remington retailers.
