GETTING STARTED

Before operating your shaver, remove the protective head guard, which protects the foils and cutter assembly. It is important to remove it correctly to avoid damaging the clips that hold it to the shaver.
1. Press lightly on the top of the protective head guard.
2. Lift the lower rear edge.
3. Pull the protective head guard away from the shaver.
When the shaver is not in use, always keep the protective head guard on the shaver head and keep the trimmer in the OFF position.

SHAVING

1. Press power button to turn on. (Diagram D)
2. Shave face and neck using linear strokes. (Diagram E)
3. Shaver can be used on a dry face or with shave cream or gel.
4. Shaver can be used in the shower.

SHAVING TIPS (WET) WITH GEL OR FOAM

We recommend that you use the shaver in the shower for optimal performance.
Note: Normally, the head pivots freely but its movement can be restricted by sliding the headlock button to the locked position on the back of the shaver.
Note: In order to ensure optimal performance, thoroughly rinse the shaver head underwater during and after shaving.
• Apply water to the face and neck area.
• Apply to shave gel or foam to the face and neck.
• Rinse shaver head underwater.
• Hold the shaver at 90° to your skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth using linear strokes.
• For areas such as the chin and neck where hair grows in different directions use small circular strokes.
• While shaving do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to the foils.
• Throughout the shave, regularly rinse the shaver head underwater to avoid residue build-up.
• When finished shaving, rinse face.
• Thoroughly rinse the shaver head of all gel or foam.
• Follow cleaning and care instructions located on page 10

SHAVING TIPS (DRY)

• Ensure your skin is free of oils.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after waking up before shaving, to ensure your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.
• Hold the shaver at 90° to your skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth using linear strokes.
• For areas such as the chin and neck where hair grows in different directions use small circular strokes.
• While shaving do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to the foils.
Note: 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. Push the trimmer release button to engage the trimmer. (Diagram F)
2. Trim long, difficult hairs and sideburns. (Diagram G)
3. Close the trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram H)
Note: Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.

Stubble Styler:

The Stubble Styler comb is designed to help you maintain a 3-day stubble look. Please be aware that you cannot shave a full long beard down to stubble length with the stubble styler. To achieve the look:

• Clean shave your face initially and then let your beard grow for two or three days.
• Attach the stubble styler to the cutting head of the shaver.
• Shave your face with short, linear motions. The stubble guard will only trim hairs that are over 1.5 mm in length.
• Shave with the stubble styler at least every two days to maintain the length and do not allow hairs to get too long.
• Detach the stubble styler if you wish to have a clean shave look on your neck or other areas of your face where you do not want stubble showing.
  Tips: Faster growing areas of your beard will begin to be trimmed first. Slower growing areas of your beard will fill in over a period of a few days or weeks.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The shaver is a wet/dry appliance. The shaver may be cleaned under warm water.
Note : When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and disconnected from the power cord.
Caution:
When cleaning the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth. 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 : Lubricate cutters after rinsing with Remington Shaver Saver (SP4).
Cleaning Your Shaver
Note: We recommend following these steps after each use.

1. Remove the foil assembly by pressing the release buttons on both sides of the head and lifting the foil assembly upwards to remove from the hair pocket. (Diagram I)
2. Tap out excess hair shavings.
3. Rinse the head of the assembly under running water. (Diagram J)
4. Replace the head assembly by placing the assembly on top of the hair pocket, press down, and click into place. (Diagram K)

Lubricate
Remington® Shaver Saver (SP-4) lubricates, cleans, and protects your shaver’s foil and cutter assembly. The lubricant helps remove hair clippings while reducing wear. Spray on the foil and cutters after each shave to keep your shaver operating at peak performance.

Cleaning Stubble Styler

1. Clean the stubble styler with the cleaning brush provided, brush away hair clippings.

REPLACING THE FOIL & CUTTERS

It is very important to replace the foil and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 6 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 moisturizing 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 your heads and cutters. Replacement foil & 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.

HOW TO REPLACE THE FOIL & CUTTERS

Please refer to the specifications table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number of your shaver. Remove the foil assembly by pressing the foil assembly release buttons on either side of the head and lifting the assembly upwards to remove it from the hair pocket

• Grasp each cutter between your thumb and forefinger and pull upwards to remove

• Snap each new cutter into the top of the drive shaft.
  Note: Do not push on the ends of the cutters as this may cause damage and reduce their effectiveness.

• Insert the new foil assembly on top of the hair pocket, press down, and click into place.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

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 F4500AU shaver contains a nickel-metal hydride battery. Once the trimmer 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 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.
