5. After shaving, turn the shaver off. (Diagram D)

**Remington recommends that you use your new shaver daily for up to three weeks to allow time for your hair and skin to become accustomed to the new shaving system**

Shaving Tips

■ Ensure your skin is dry and free of oils.

■ Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

■ Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so the screens are touching the skin with equal pressure.

■ Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.

■ Shave with short, circular strokes. The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

■ Do not press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the foil heads.

Trim

2. Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns. (Diagram G)

3. Close trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram H)

How To Order Shaver Accessories

Please refer to the shaver comparison and features chart near the front of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver.

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 6 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed:

■ Irritation: As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.

■ Pulling: When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your heads and cutters.
