• Trimming your eyebrows with the eyebrow guard attached to the cutting element of the trimming head.

Tip: If the trimming head becomes clogged, detach the trimming head and rinse it thoroughly with warm water before you reattach it.

Trimming eyebrows with the eyebrow combs

1. Comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth (Fig. 13).

2. Make sure the product is switched off. Slide the eyebrow comb onto the cutting element (Fig. 14).
   The short eyebrow comb trims the hairs to a length of 3 mm. The long eyebrow comb trims the hairs to a length of 5 mm.
   Note: Make sure the comb clicks into place.

3. Switch on the product (Fig. 9).

4. Place the trimmer in a position perpendicular to your face. Make sure that the back of the comb lies flat on the skin (Fig. 15).

5. Slowly move the trimmer against the hair growth direction (Fig. 16). Press lightly and make sure that the flat surface of the comb always stays in contact with the skin.

6. Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Trimming ear hair

Make sure your outer ear channels are clean and free from wax.

Note: If there is an eyebrow comb on the cutting element, remove it before trimming nose or ear hair (Fig. 17).

1. Switch on the product (Fig. 9).

2. Slowly move the cutting element along the rim of the ear to remove hairs that stick out beyond the rim.

3. Carefully insert the cutting element into the outer ear channel. Move the tip in and out of the outer ear channel in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter length (Fig. 18).
   Do not insert the cutting element too deep into your ear channel, as this could damage the eardrum (max. 12 mm).

4. Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Trimming nose hair

Make sure both the product and nasal passages are clean before trimming. Dried nasal mucus can block the cutting element, preventing the product from turning on.

Note: If there is an eyebrow comb on the cutting element, remove it before trimming nose or ear hair (Fig. 17).

1. Switch on the product (Fig. 9).

2. Carefully insert the cutting element into one of your nostrils.
   Do not insert the cutting element too deep into the nostrils (max. 12 mm).

3. Move the cutting element in and out of the nostril in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter length. Make sure that the cutting teeth touch the hair by rotating the trimming head inside your nostril. While rotating you may hold the flat side of the trimmer against the skin to reduce any tickling effect that might occur.

4. Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Cleaning

Cleaning the trimming head

Do not immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid, or rinse it under the tap. Only the trimming head and attachments can be rinsed under the tap.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents
or aggressive liquids such as gasoline or acetone to
clean the product.
Do not tap on the cutting elements.
Do not use any sharp objects to clean the cutting elements.

1. Rinse the cutting element of the trimming head with lukewarm tap water (Fig. 20).

2. Switch on the product and rinse the cutting element again to remove any remaining hairs. Then switch off the product again.
   Tip: For a thorough clean, immerse the trimming head in a glass with warm water for ca. 30 minutes to soak and soften the debris (Fig. 21). Be careful not to immerse the handle in water. Then switch on the appliance and rinse the cutting element under the tap to remove stubborn hair/debris.

3. Rinse the combs with lukewarm tap water (Fig. 22).
