CHARGING

Before using, read the important safety instructions in this manual.

1. Ensure the product is switched off. Connect the shaver to the adaptor
2.  Connect to the mains and charge for 4 hours when using for the first time. This first charge is important to the shaver’s battery life.
3. When plugged, the LEDs will successively light up.
4. When empty, the battery should be charged for 4 hours and will provide 50 minutes of shaving time.
5. To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge every six months, and then recharge them for 4 hours

Caution:

• Make sure the shaver and your hands are dry when charging the shaver.
• Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

SHAVING

1. Press the power button to turn it on. (Diagram A)
2. Shave face and neck using short, circular strokes. (Diagram B)
3. After shaving, turn the shaver off. (Diagram A)

SHAVING TIPS

• The Remington Quick Shave rotary shaver 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 the skin with the freehand 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 might 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. Pull down the pop-up trimmer release button to engage the trimmer (Diagram C).
2. Trim and shape sideburns and facial hair to the desired length and shape.
3. Close trimmer by pressing down (Diagram D).

Note : Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Note : When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and disconnected from the power cord. A shaver is a washable appliance. The head and body may be cleaned under warm water.
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 hairdryer or heater to dry the shaver.
Note: The shaver head and neck assembly are designed to be detachable from the shaver body. Simply pull upwards from the neck of the shaver for easy release. To reattach the neck, align it with the neck attachment cavity so that it clips back into position.

10. 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 (Diagram K).

REPLACING SHAVING HEADS & CUTTERS

Please refer to the specifications’ table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver.
It is very important to replace the shaving heads 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 moisturising 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 the shaving 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 pages 9 & 10, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the Remington® Service Hotline.

BATTERY DISPOSA L

Note: The battery is not intended to be removed or replaced under normal use. The only time the battery should be removed or the unit opened or disassembled, is at the end of the product’s useful life before it is discarded.

• The R8000AU contains a nickel-metal hydride battery. Once the shaver has reached the end of its life, to ensure proper disposal of the product, please take the appliance to a recycling centre, where the internal rechargeable battery should be removed by a professional and recycled separately.
• For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated
  appliances, please contact your local council office or your household
  waste disposal service.

Caution: Do not put in the fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing of them as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns. We suggest you use local waste management centres to recycle this product at end of life.

Suitable for use in bath and shower.
