Shaving
1. Remove the OptiTrim attachment (a).
Put on the shaver head by clicking it
in (the long hair trimmer should be in
front).
2. When using the shaver head, always
slide switch up to setting «optimal».
3. For best results, guide the shaving
system in a way that about half of the
shaving foil and the trimmer are in
contact with your skin. Always guide
the appliance in the direction of the
trimmer. The trimmer first raises all
long hairs and cuts them off. Then
the flexible foil follows to smooth
away any stubble.
Important: Always stretch your skin when
shaving.
Pre-cutting hair for epilation
4. When using the shaver head to
pre-cut your hair to the ideal length
for epilation, put on the OptiTrim
attachment.
5. Hold the appliance with the OptiTrim
attachment ensuring that the surface
of the comb is lying flat on the skin.
Guide the appliance with the comb
tips against the hair growth as shown
in illustration B5.
Important: As hair does not always grow
in the same direction, it may be difficult
to cut. In which case, guide the appliance
slightly diagonally or in different
directions.
Cleaning the shaver head
6. After shaving, unplug the appliance
and, if necessary, remove the
OptiTrim attachment.
7. Clean the OptiTrim attachment with
the brush.
8. In order to clean the shaver head,
remove the shaving foil frame.
To do so, press the release bars on
the front and back and pull it off.
9. Carefully tap the shaving foil frame
on a flat surface.
10. Brush out the cutter block as well as
the area below the cutter block.
11. Caution: The shaving foil is a very
delicate part that must not be
cleaned with the brush.
12. We recommend that you oil the
trimmer every 3 months with a drop
of sewing machine oil.
13. Put the shaving foil frame back on
and snap it into place.
14. Replace the OptiTrim attachment
because it also serves as a protective
cap.
Caution: Do not use the shaver head with
a damaged shaving foil.
Replacing the shaving parts
The shaving foil and the cutter block are
precision parts that wear out with the
time. Have the shaving foil frame and the
cutter block replaced when you notice a
reduced shaving performance.
Subject to change without notice.
