5.3 Using the Precision Trimmer

Attach the Precision Trimmer for detailing sideburns, mustaches, or hard-to-reach areas. Use gentle, controlled strokes for precise styling.

6. Maintenance & Cleaning

6.1 Quick Clean Pod

For thorough cleaning, use the Quick Clean Pod. Place the shaver head-down into the pod. The shaver will automatically initiate a 60-second cleaning cycle, indicated by a countdown timer on the display. After cleaning, allow the shaver head to air dry; do not wipe with a cloth or paper towel to avoid damaging the blades or leaving lint.

6.2 UV Power Case

The UV Power Case not only charges your shaver but also kills 99.9% of bacteria, ensuring hygienic use. Place the shaver in the UV Power Case for charging and sanitization.

6.3 General Cleaning

After each shave, rinse the shaver head under running water. For a more thorough clean, open the shaving head by pressing the release button and rinse the inside. Ensure all hair clippings are removed. Allow the shaver to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
