Each cleaning consists of several cycles (where the cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head) and a heat drying period. The total cleaning time is 33 to 50 minutes. Cleaning processes in the Clean&Charge should not be interrupted. While the shaver is drying, the metal parts of the shaver may be hot. Also, if the shaver is taken out prematurely and is not dry, its electronics could be harmed. When the program is finished, the blue «clean» light will shine. You can release the shaver by pushing the «start cleaning» button. Your shaver is now clean, charged and ready for use. 6 Shaving If the shaver is locked into the Clean&Charge station, push the «start cleaning» button (2) to release the shaver and take it out. Switch positions off = (switch is locked) Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver: 1 = Shaving with the pivoting head (the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face). 2 = Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle (to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the nose). 3 = The long hair trimmer is activated (for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard). Tips for the perfect shave We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing. Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutter block when it is indicated on the shaver display or when the parts are worn or at least every 18 months. Shaving with the cord If the shaver is completely discharged (see section «Shaver display») and you do not have the time to recharge in the Clean&Charge station, you may also shave with the shaver connected to the mains via the low-voltage adapter. After shaving Automatic cleaning After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Charge station and proceed as described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles. The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks. 7 LCHU ok full ■irm 35nin Quick cleaning Press the foil release buttons (12) to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5-10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out. Thorough manual cleaning Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Charge station is not available, e.g. when travelling. Never use water to clean the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head. If you do not use the Clean&Charge station for a longer period of time, you should apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil. Replacing the cartridge After having pressed the lift button (4) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge. Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution. Cleaning the housing Clean the housing of shaver and station from time to time with a damp cloth, especially inside the opening of the station where the shaver rests. Shaver display 1.
