When the batteries are fully charged, the appliance can be used for up to 45 minutes without mains connection.

Foil shave
The shaving system perfectly adjusts to the contours of the face as well as the chin and the neck area to give you an optimum shaving result. Prior to shaving, it is recommended to clean the face and neck area thoroughly and to pat it dry.

Gently press the shaver upward against the skin surface and shave against the direction of the beard growth (Fig. 9). At the same time, pull the skin tight with your free hand so that the stubble stands up.
Avoid too much pressure on the shaver foil; this could lead to foil breakages.
Use the protective cover when the appliance is not in use.
The skin must get used to the foil shave. Generally, this takes 2 – 3 weeks.

Disconnect the mains cable from the mains power-supply before cleaning the appliance.
After each use, remove the shaving head from the housing (Fig. 4), then tap it on a level surface and blow off the hair. Use the cleaning brush to clean the cutter (Fig. 5).
The shaver foil must not be cleaned with the cleaning brush. Otherwise, the foil could be damaged.
Only wipe the appliance with a soft cloth, which may be dampened slightly. Do not use solvents or abrasives!
Put on the protective cap again after cleaning.
