INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Your lady shaver is suitable for legs, underarms and the bikini area. It can be used dry or in the shower.

FOR REGULAR SHAVING

• Switch the shaver on.
• Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and move the shaver against the direction of the hair growth.
• After shaving, turn the shaver off.
• NOTE: Before dry shaving, ensure the area is clean, dry, and free from cream or oils.

FOR LONGER HAIRS

• If you have not shaved for a while, use the trimmer before shaving. This will help you achieve a more effective shaving result.
• Hold the shaver with the trimmer facing your leg and slightly tilted towards you (approximately a 45° angle).
• Move the trimmer slowly against the direction of hair growth.

EDGING AND SHAPING

• Attach the bikini trimmer attachment.
• Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and press down gently.
• Edge and shape the area as desired.

FOR BEST SHAVING PERFORMANCE

• We recommend that you use your new shaver daily for 2-3 weeks to allow time to find the optimum shaving methods for your particular type of hair growth patterns.

CAUTION

• If your skin is easily irritated by shaving or you suffer from skin allergies, you should test a section of your arm or leg before using the shaver.

CARE FOR YOUR SHAVER

• To ensure long-lasting performance of your shaver, clean the head assembly regularly. The easiest and the most hygienic way to clean the shaver is by rinsing the shaving head after use with warm water. 

AFTER EACH USE

• Ensure the shaver is switched off.
• Remove the shaving head assembly by pressing the buttons on both sides of the shaver.
• Blow any loose debris from the foil.
• Brush or rinse any accumulated hair from the main body of the shaver, head assembly, and cutter assembly.
• Leave the head assembly open to let the shaver dry completely.
• Do not rinse with water hotter than 70°C.
• Do not submerge the appliance.
• Do not clean the shaving foil with a brush.
• At regular intervals, put a drop of sewing machine oil onto the foils and cutter head. Remove excess oil.

REPLACING THE FOILS AND CUTTERS

• To ensure the continued highest quality performance from your shaver, we recommend that the foil and cutterbee replaced every 6 months. These can be obtained from our nearest Remington® Service Centre.

SIGNS THAT YOUR FOILS AND CUTTERS NEED REPLACING.

• Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.
• Pulling: as the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close, and you may feel the cutter pulling your hair.
• Wear through: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.

TO REPLACE THE FOIL

• Ensure the shaver is switched off.
• Gently push the small plastic area at either end of the foil. The foil should then easily detach from the head assembly.
• To reassemble, slide the foil into the foil bracket and click into position.
• Close the head assembly.

CAUTION

• Only hold the plastic to prevent damage to the foil.
• Do not press on the foil when replacing.

REPLACING THE CUTTERS

• Ensure the shaver is switched off and open the head assembly (as above).
• Grasp the ends of the cutter between your thumb and forefinger and pull upwards.
• To reassemble the cutter, place it onto the oscillator tip. Gently push the centre of the cutter, until it clicks into place.

BATTERY REMOVAL

• The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when removing the battery.
• Ensure battery is discharged.
• Remove the shaver head from the unit.
• Using a small screwdriver, remove the screw from the bottom of the shaver.
• Pry the front panel from the front housing and remove the switch button.
• Pull out the inner housing from the top of the unit and expose the PCB and batteries.
