Shaving
• Remove the epilation head and put on
the shaver head attachment (9) by
clicking it in.
• Turn the switch clockwise to setting
«II».
• Make sure the trim/shave selector (e)
is in the « » position.

that both, the shaver foil (b) and the
trimmer (c) are in contact with the skin
(A). Keeping your skin stretched (B),
slowly move the appliance against the
direction of hair growth. The trimmer
first raises all long hairs and cuts them
off. Then the flexible foil follows to
smooth away any stubble.

areas, make sure that you always keep
your skin stretched to avoid injuries.
Contour trimming

the ideal length for epilation, place the
trimmer cap (a) onto the shaver head.
Slide the trim/shave selector (e) to the
« » position.
Hold the appliance with the trimmer cap
lying flat on the skin. Guide it with the
comb tips against the hair growth as

Since hairs usually grow in various
directions, guide the appliance slightly
diagonally or in different directions in
order to achieve best results.

remove the shaver head (D1). Tap the
bottom of the shaver head gently on a

not clean the shaver foil with the brush
as this may damage the foil.
Cleaning with water

the shaver head. Rinse the shaver head
and the cutter block separately under
running water (D2). Leave the cutter
block and the foil frame to dry separately

of the long hair trimmer. Then remove
the shaver head and also apply a tiny
