Inserting the batteries

This appliance operates on two 1.5 V
batteries. For best performance, use
alkaline manganese batteries (type LR 6,
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.
The additional OptiShave attachment
allows an extra close and comfortable
shave of legs.
• Press and slide up the on/off switch to
turn the shaver on. Make sure that the
TrimLock (2f) is in the «
• For optimum shaving results, place the
OptiShave attachment onto the shaver
head (A). It ensures perfect closeness
and the optimum usage angle so that
both, the shaver foil and the long hair
trimmer are in contact with the skin.
• 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.
• If you have not shaved for a long
period of time, remove the OptiShave
attachment to allow a faster pre-cutting
of longer hairs (B).
