SHAVING TIPS
• The Remington
®
WETech CLOSE SHAVE is waterproof. You may use shaving
foam or gel with your shaver. You may also shave in the shower.
• 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 that all three heads 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.
• Use moderate to slow, circular stroking movement.
• 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 to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to
the rotary heads.
• As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to four
weeks of daily shaving to develop an effective shaving style and for your skin
to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period my take a little longer if
your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different method of shaving,
or if you alternate between shaving methods.
TRIMMING
Pop-up Trimmer:
1. Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. (Diagram F)
2. Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns.
3. Close trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram G)

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The shaver is a washable appliance. The head and body may be cleaned
under warm water.
NOTE: When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and
disconnected from the power cord.
CAUTION:
• When cleaning the external surfaces of the shaver, do not use strong
detergents or other chemicals.
• To dry, wipe the surface of the shaver with a dry towel. Do not use a hair dryer
or heater to dry the shaver.
NOTE: The shaver head and neck assembly is designed to be detachable from the
shaver body. Simply pull upwards from the neck of the shaver for easy release.
To reattach neck, align it with the neck attachment cavity so that it clips back into
position.
Daily Cleaning:
1. Locate the detachment grooves on the head & cutter assembly. Gently pull to
detach the hair pocket from the neck assembly. (Diagram L)
2. Tap out excess hair shavings.
3. Rinse the head of the shaver in running water.
4. Gently reattach the hair pocket to the neck assembly until it locks in place on
all three sides. The hair pocket may be reattached in any configuration.

REPLACING THE HEAD & CUTTERS
Please refer to the FEATURE table on page 5 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 12 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.
Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained from your local retailer, or directly
from Remington
®
. Simply fill out the enclosed accessory order form - refer to
page 8 & 9, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the
Remington
®
Service Hotline - refer to page 14.
