Maintenance

• Daily Cleaning: Clean the shaver after each use. The shaver is waterproof, so you can rinse the shaving head under running water.
• Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, detach the shaving head and rinse it thoroughly. Some users find cleaning with a little soap every 4 shaves beneficial.
• Head Replacement: Replace the shaving heads every two years to maintain optimal performance. Over time, blades can dull, affecting shave quality.
• Storage: Store the shaver in a dry place. If not using for an extended period, ensure the battery is charged and consider removing it if applicable (though for integrated Li-ion, this usually means just storing it charged).

Troubleshooting & Safety Warnings

• Water Safety: Do not use the device near water if it is not explicitly designed for wet use or while charging. This model is designed for wet and dry use, but always ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the charger.
• Skin Sensitivity: Individuals with sensitive skin should handle the flexible shaving heads with care to avoid irritation.
• Charging: Always charge the shaver according to the instructions in this manual. If the battery is low, the indicator will signal the need for charging.
• Battery Removal: If the shaver will not be used for a long period, it is recommended to extract the batteries if they are removable (for this model, the Lithium-Ion battery is integrated, so ensure it is stored with some charge).
