Your shaver is designed and manufactured to exacting standards in
order to provide you with years of close, comfortable shaves.
It normally takes about three weeks for your skin to adjust to a new
electric shaver. As you use your shaver, you will develop a shaving style
that is most comfortable and effective for you. This "breaking in" period
may be somewhat longer for those with sensitive skin or those who
vary their shaving techniques. Upon unpacking your shaver, you may
notice a white/gray powder on the inner cutters and surface of the foil
screens.
This is a factory-applied lubricant that will help ease the breaking in
period and disappear with normal use.
Shaving Tips
1. Keep the unit clean and dry at all times.
2. Wash and dry your skin thoroughly prior to shaving.

3. In order to achieve the closest shave and avoid unnecessary wear
on the foils, be sure that both foils contact the skin simultaneously. Do
not hold the shaver at an angle where only one foil contacts the skin
— this will cause distortion of the foil and may result in skin irritation.
4. Stretch your skin with your free hand while using short, circular
strokes. This will make the hairs stand out from your face and allow the
cutting heads to reach them more easily. Shave against the grain for
optimum results.
5. To facilitate cutting and avoid foil wear, do not apply the shaver to
your skin with high pressure.
6. The normal replacement period for the foil screens is about 6
months. In order to maintain shaving performance and comfort,
replace the cutters at least once a year. To order replacement parts,
please refer to the "Ordering Replacement Parts" section of this
manual.
