INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT
CHARGING

FIRST TIME USE

The Super Stubble is so easy to use, but before you do anything you must take your time to charge the unit for 3 hours before its first use. Even if you want to use it plugged in to your shaver socket, this initial super-charge ensures optimum power performance to give smooth fast trimming every time. After the first charge a full charge will only take 90 minutes. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging/discharging cycles.

• Connect the power adaptor to the socket on the underside of the charging stand
• Always check that the charging indicator on the LED comes on when you place the product in the power stand.

REGULAR CHARGING

• A full charge will take 90 minutes and will supply enough power for minimum 60 minutes continuous cordless use. The approximate remaining using time is shown on the LED display.
• In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours every 3 months approximately.
• The super stubble comes with a quick charge feature. A 5 minute charge will provide enough power for approximately 3 minutes use.
• Charging takes approx. 90 minutes.
• When the unit is charging the display lights up for a few seconds showing the running time remaining. The minutes will flash increase until it reaches maximum capacity of 60 minutes.
• When LED display has less than 5 minutes left, the time symbol indication will change to red.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Always inspect the super stubble before use to ensure the cutting head is free from hair and debris and is running smoothly.

OPERATION

To switch the super stubble on, press the O/I button. The LED will also show the selected cutting height and approximate usage time remaining. After 10 seconds, the blue LED for the usage time remaining will be switched off but cutting height LED will be kept illuminated whilst the motor runs. When there is approxi-mately 5 minutes left shown on the LED display, the time symbol will change colour to red and will also start to flash. When the LED displays «00», this indicates that the unit needs to be recharged, however it may continue to run for a short while after.

USING THE COMB GUIDE

The comb guide allows you to change the cutting length of your trimmer. You’ll need to experiment to find your preferred length, but as a guide, 0.4mm will give you very short stubble, whilst 1.6mm will give you a longer stubble look. 2mm+ will give you a short beard.

• Ensure the comb guide is correctly positioned by pushing the comb guide gently downwards to secure into place.
• Use the digital touch control ‘‘up’’ or ‘‘down’’ buttons to adjust the telescopic comb guide to the required length.
• The cutting lengths are displayed on the LED screen in ‘‘mm’’ – scroll through the available length settings with the digital touch controls. There are 24 length settings available: 0.4mm-5.0mm in 0.2mm increments
• Select your required length – the length setting will then remain displayed on the LED screen.
• Press the power button to switch the super stubble on.

MEMORY FUN CTION

This stubble trimmer has a memory function that stores the last chosen length setting. When the unit is switched off the comb guide returns to 0.4mm position. When the trimmer is  switched back on the comb guide automatically moves up to the last chosen length setting.

TRAVEL LOCK FEATURE

The Conair For Men Super Stubble has a travel lock feature which will lock all buttons from activating accidently.

• To activate the travel lock, press and hold the I/O button for 2 seconds until the time display counts downs from 5 to 1. When the countdown reaches 1, the lock signal is shown.
• To de-activate the travel lock press and hold the I/O button for 2 seconds until the time display starts to count down from 5 to 1 and the motor switches on and starts running. The travel lock is now de-activated.
• When you place the unit in the charger, the travel lock is automatically deactivated.

USING THE TRIMMER WITHOUT THE COMB GUIDE

Using without the comb guide is ideal for detailing/shaping and general tidying of edges.

• To detach the comb guide, gently hold the trimmer in one hand and with your thumb and index finger push up on each side of the comb guide (fig. 1). Flip the comb guide to the back of the unit, gently pull down and secure under the latch to lock into place (fig. 2). To release the comb guide, pull down and move away from the latch (fig. 3).
• Switch the super stubble on by pressing the ‘‘power on’’ button. The LED will illuminate and the blades will start to move.
• If you are looking for an ultra-close finish, you can use the trimmer without the comb guide. This will give you an extremely short cut.

IMPORTANT

Please note when using the trimmer without the comb guide, the cutting length will be below 0.4mm. The length setting shown on the LED screen will no longer be relevant when the comb guide is detached.

SUPER STUBBLERTM TOP TIPS

• Use on clean, dry hair.
• If possible, when using for the first time, try and grow your facial hair for a few days before cutting so you can trim down to a level that is best for you.
• Set the cutting length as required.
• It is always best to start cutting with a longer length first, then trim again if the length is longer than desired.
• Hold the super stubble against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide should be pointing upwards and should be flat against the face.
• Move the trimmer upwards through the hair, a little at a time, against the direction of hair growth. The floating and contouring head will follow the curves of your face to ensure both accuracy and comfort.
• The super stubble will work most effectively when cutting through the hair at its own speed – never force through the hair. You may experience a little resistance when trimming the neck area, where hair is thicker and grows in many different directions. This is completely normal.
• Just like shaving, extra time should be given when trimming under the neck area, as again this is where hairs grow in many different directions.
• Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Regular cleaning will maintain the high performance of your super stubble.
• Switch off and remove the power cord if connected.
• Detach the comb guide by gently lifting the front of the comb guide from both sides and flipping it over to the back of the unit and locking it into position by clicking it securely onto the fastener on the back of the handle.
• Use the cleaning brush supplied to brush away any hair and debris. Do not use a sharp object to clean the trimmer blade.
• The blades can be removed to aid cleaning.
• To remove the blades hold the handle of the i-stubble with one hand, place your thumb underneath the blades and push the blades away from the handle.
• Gently blow away any hair trapped beneath the blades.
• The blades can be rinsed under the tap. After rinsing the blades they may need to be oiled. See oiling instructions below.
• Before re-attaching blade to the trimmer, ensure the blades are dry and moving blade is in the center. Please refer to
• Please do not use any fig. 4 chemical liquids when cleaning the trimmer.
• Ensure you clean the blades after each use and before storing away.
• It is highly recommended to oil the blades from time to time with the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. For the first use you will need to use the oil supplied with the product, unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil. To oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.

  Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the “i-stubble” and the “super i-stubble”?****

From what I can tell, the main differences are that the Super i-Stubble has a lithium-ion battery and is waterproof. Lithium-ion batteries generally need to be replaced less often and are more expensive than the battery inside the “normal” i-Stubble. The normal i-Stubble is also not waterproof.

I bought super stubble, so how to clean it? Can I remove the blade from the trimmer to clean it inside? If yes how?****

The blade pops up of the trimmer with some thumb pressure.

Can I purchase a charger separately? I’m quarantining and left my charger at home****

I don’t believe you can get the charger separately. I called customer service to fid out the same thing. Conair doesn’t sell it. You can buy a different one with same connection but if you don’t get the exact voltage right, they said it would short out the trimmer. And they didn’t know what the voltage was. We misplaced the charger from the first trimmer we purchased and had to purchase a second trimmer just to get a charger. Now we have a replacement trimmer for when the first one stops working.

My husband has been using this for 3 weeks now and loves it! How long before the head has to be replaced?****

I don’t think it needs replacement unless the blades dull or something breaks. It’s not like a normal disposable razor. These are long lasting blades that just need to be rinsed off and cleared out of hair and other foreign objects that might be obstructing the blades therefore making it hard to do a good job of shaving! Other then that, like I stated, just make sure to give it a good through rinse (making sure the head is removed from the main body of the shaver) to keep it clean and hygienic.

I owned an istubble a few years ago and the head of the istubble was a bit large to cut the hair directly under my nose. Anyon had problems with this?****

Although the head is large, I do not have a problem getting close under the nose. The blades are extremely sharp so it makes cutting easy for those hard to reach places.

Does conair offer spare blades for the conair man superstubble trimmer model gmt1000am?****

Not sure. I’m sure you could just Google it though and find out really quick. I imagine they do.

Can I leave the super stubble on the charging doc? Or will that affect the battery life? I hear the battery life is what most people complain about****

I shave every 3 days or so. I was leaving it on the charger all the time and did not notice a d3cli e in battery. I leave it off now though until it needs charged just in case it will affect the battery life down the road.

Can you leave the super I-stubble on the charging stand? Will it affect the battery life to be always charging?****

I have left it all together while charging and took it on a week vacation and a 5 day trip without the charger and it kept a charge quite well on both trips it has been a great razor…much better than the piece of crap one I bought last time off amazon which lasted me all of 2 months.

Does the super i-stubble trimmer cut as close ( 5 o’clock shadow) as the regular i-stubble trimmer ?****

Yes, a bit smaller then a 5 o’ clock shadow.

Do the blades have to be periodically sharpened?****

I wouldn’t advise sharpening them yourself. I do know that you can purchase replacements. Any and all cutting devices, shavers or shears sooner or later will become dull and in order to continue using, will need to be sharpened. Just the nature of the beast.

Will this cut you?****

I don’t see how that would be possible. Other trimmers (a lot more expensive than this one) have nicked my neck a bit, but this one, no matter how often I go over the same area, even at the lowest setting, has not nicked me one time. I have used it about 8 times since I had it.

What’s the difference between 0.4 mm shaving my stubble with and without the guide comb ( while flipped back ) ?****

WITH it flipped back you will always get a closer shave. No matter the distance set.

What mm is the 5’oclock shadow look with this product?****

It’s different for everyone because some people have more hair follicles/darker hair etc. I would suggest you begin with the 4mm and then look in the mirror. Then take it down a bit more, examine the result and then repeat until you have the look that you desire.

Can you use this (conair for men super stubble; black – wet/dry + lithium ion) while it is plugged in/while charging. plug and use…?****

Yes I have used the stubble shaver many times while it was plugged in. However, I never plugged in the shaver and used it while under the shower, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be writing you this to today. Although as advertised, this id Wet/Dry stubble shaver, however should only be used in the shower using battery power only and never while plugged into a wall outlet and under the shower.

Is this trimmer compatible with 220v electric current?****

Yes.
