General
The appliance is equipped with an automatic voltage
selector and is suitable for mains voltages from 100 to
240 volts.
Charging
Charge the appliance:
- before first use and when you have not used the
appliance for a long time
- when the motor stops or starts running slower
When you have charged the shaver for the first time and
after a long period of disuse, optimise the battery capacity
in the following way:
1 Fully charge the shaver (see section 'Charging the
shaver' below).
2 Empty the battery through normal use (shaving).
3 Repeat this process 2 more times.
Note: If you optimise the battery capacity in this way, you
can also charge the shaver in between shaves, even if the
battery is not completely empty yet. This does not damage
the battery.
Charging the shaver
1 Put the appliance plug in the shaver (Fig. 4).
2
2 Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
Note: Make sure the shaver is switched off.
The charging light goes on. The light stays on as long
,
as the shaver is connected to the mains. (Fig. 5)
3 Charge the shaver for at least 8 hours (HQ6970/
HQ6950/HQ6922, HQ6920) or 1 hour (HQ6990),
but not more than 24 hours.
Note: Do not leave the shaver connected to the mains
continuously.
Note: You can also shave without charging. Simply connect
the shaver to the mains.
4 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and
