Inserting the batteries

This appliance operates on two 1.5 V
batteries. For best performance, use
alkaline manganese batteries (type LR 6,
10
AM3, AA). These batteries provide a
shaving capacity of up to 90 minutes
approximately.
Open the battery compartment and
insert the batteries with the poles in the
direction marked. Before closing the
battery compartment, make sure the
cover is dry and clean.
Shaving
For radiant skin, the Silk&Soft system
captures even problem hairs, the
integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin
to ensure a closer reach and the floating
shaver foil and the floating longhair
trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a
perfectly close shave. For a gentle shave,
the EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother
gliding and reduces skin irritation.
• Press and slide up the on/off switch to
turn the shaver on. Make sure that the
TrimLock (2) is in the « » position.
• Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting to
the body contours, the long hair trim-
mer first raises all long hairs and cuts
them off. Then the shaver foil follows
to smooth away any stubble.
• Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
Wet usage
The appliance can also be used on wet
skin. Make sure that the skin is very moist
to achieve optimum gliding conditions.
Wet usage on sensitive skin might lead to
skin irritations (e.g. reddening).
Shaving your legs with the exfoliation
attachment
The exfoliation pad gently scrubs the skin
to remove dead skin particles, thus
revitalizing the skin and giving it a radiant
look.
