Charging the Shaver

Recommended Charging Conditions:

• Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods.

Charging Procedure:

• Connect the shaver to an electrical outlet using the special cord set (8) with the motor switched off.
• First Charge/Long Storage: Charge continuously for 4 hours.
• Subsequent Charges: Approximately 1 hour for a full charge.
• Battery Life: A full charge provides up to 45 minutes of cordless shaving, depending on beard thickness. Maximum battery capacity is reached after several charging/discharging cycles.
• Shaving While Charging: You can shave by connecting the shaver to the outlet if the battery is discharged.
• Quick Charge: A 5-minute quick charge is sufficient for one shave.

Charging Indicators:

• Green Charging Light (4): Blinks during charging or when the shaver is switched on. Shines continuously when fully charged and connected to power.
• Red Low-Charge Light (5): Flashes when the battery is running low, indicating you should finish your shave soon.

Shaving

Operation: Press the on/off switch (3) to operate the shaver. The flexible shaving foils automatically adjust to your facial contours for a close shave.

Using the Long Hair Trimmer (2): Slide the trimmer upwards to trim sideburns, mustache, or beard.

Tips for the Perfect Dry Shave:

1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. Hold the shaver at a 90° angle to your skin at all times.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

For pre-shaving after several days without shaving, use the long hair trimmer (2) to cut long hairs first, then finish with the foil for a smooth shave.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal shaving performance.

Easy Cleaning Under Running Water:

• With the shaver off and unplugged, rinse the shaver head under hot running water. Liquid soap without abrasive substances can be used.
• Let the shaver run for a few more seconds to rinse off foam.
• Switch off the shaver, remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), and let all parts dry.
• For regular water cleaning, apply a drop of light machine oil to the long hair trimmer (2) and Foil & Cutter cassette (1) weekly. ?

Alternative Cleaning with a Brush:

• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette and tap it gently on a flat surface.
• Use a brush to clean the inner area of the shaver head. Caution: Do not use a brush to clean the Foil & Cutter cassette as it may cause damage.

Keeping Your Shaver in Top Shape:

• Replacement Light for Shaving Parts (6): This light indicates it's time to replace the Foil & Cutter cassette (1), typically after about 18 months of use or when worn.
• Foil & Cutter Cassette Models: 32S/32B.
• Resetting the Counter: After replacing the cassette, press and hold the on/off switch (3) for at least 5 seconds to reset the replacement indicator. The light will blink and then turn off upon completion. Manual reset is also possible.
