Clean the shaver after every use for optimal performance (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance).

3. Turn off the shaver. Press the release button to open the shaving unit.

Note: Hold the shaving head holder in your hand when you reinsert the shaving heads and reattach the retaining rings. Do not place the shaving head holder on a surface, as this may cause damage to the shaving heads.
10. Reinsert the hinge of the shaving head holder into the slot of the shaving unit. Close the shaving head holder.
