Care and Cleaning

5.1 Cleaning
To ensure optimal shaving efficiency, the shaver must be cleaned regularly.
IMPORTANT: Do Not use flammable liquids, chemicals, abrasive creams, steel wool or scouring pads for cleaning.
DO NOT press on the top of the shaving blade surfaces as you will damage them. The easiest and most sanitary way to clean the product is to wash the shaver head part and the whisker container with fresh warm (not hot) water each time after use
. To do this:

• Turn off the Shaver

• Pry open each blade section one by one and then rotate them fully open to expose the inner whisker container.

• Repeat for the other three-blade sections.
  

• Remove the Centre Blade Section. To do this, grasp the center blade surround and rotate anti-clockwise to unclip, then lift up and away.
  

•  You can brush out the whiskers with the small supplied cleaning brush and then rinse the shaver head parts, the Blade Sections, and the whisker container for a minute or so until the whiskers have been washed away.
  DO NOT wipe the Blade Sections with a towel or paper tissues as this will cause damage to the shaver head. Only use running tap water to rinse away the whiskers and allow the Blade Sections to dry naturally before re-assembly.

• When clean, gently shake the excess water from the appliance.

• Allow the appliance and Blade sections to sit and air dry naturally, and only when dry, refit the Centre Blade Section in the reverse method of disassembly. Ensure it is rotated clockwise and locked in place.

• Close the four-blade sections ensuring the latch is shut.

• The other accessories can also be cleaned using running tap water and then allowed to air dry naturally. NOTE: Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision

5.2 Lubrication
The Hair Trimmer will need periodic lubrication to allow the blades to run smoothly.
Use a drop of sewing machine oil every few months of use directly onto the trimming blades.
