Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance.
Cleaning under running water:
Model 190s only:
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaver head under hot running
water until all residues have been removed.
• You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let
the shaver run for a few more seconds.
• Next, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3).
Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
• If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of
light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.
Model 170s only:
• Rinse the shaver head (cordless) under hot running water until all residues have
been removed. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off
all foam.
• Next, remove the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3). Then leave the
disassembled shaving parts to dry.
Cleaning with a brush:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
• Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head.
However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this will damage the foil.
Keeping your shaver in top shape
If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of
light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil.
Replacing the shaver foil and cutter block
To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace the shaver foil (2) and cutter
block (3) at least every 18 months or when worn. Change both parts at the same
time for a closer shave with less skin irritation.
(Shaver foil and cutter block: 10B)
Preserving the batteries (model 190s only)
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the
shaver has to be fully discharged (by shaving) every 6 months approximately.
Then recharge the shaver to full capacity.
