IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

DANGER: As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts are electrically live even when the switch is off.
For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (rcd) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA is advisable in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom. Ask your installer for advice.

F2000AU SPECIFICATIONS

Power System: Cordless – shaver can only be used without the power cord.
Indicator: Charging – green light that glows when the shaver is being charged.
Voltage Type: Worldwide Voltage – shaver automatically adapts to an outlet voltage between 100V and 240V.

Note: Some countries will require the use of a plug adaptor that is not included with your shaver.

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

Ensure the product is switched off. Connect the shaver to the adaptor (Diagram A).
Connect to the mains (Diagram B) and charge for at least 16 hours when using for the first time (Diagram C). This first charge is important to the shaver’s battery life.
When plugged, the charging indicator will light up.
When empty, the battery should be charged for 16 hours and will provide 40 minutes of shaving time.
To preserve the life of the batteries, allow them to fully discharge every six months, and then recharge them for 16 hours

Caution:

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

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.

Press lightly on the top of the protective head guard.
Lift the lower rear edge.
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

Remove power adaptor from the shaver (Diagram A).
Press the power button to the ON position to activate the shaver for shaving.
Use your free hand to stretch your skin so that the hairs stand upright.
This encourages your facial hair to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the foil (Diagram D).
Hold the shaver so that the foils touch your face (Diagram E). Ensure that you hold the shaver at an angle where both foils are touching the skin. This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed for the closest shave with minimum wear.
After shaving turn the shaver off.

SHAVING TIPS

For a smoother, more comfortable, moisture-free shave, use a Remington® Pre- Shave Powder Stick (SP5).

Ensure your skin is dry and free of oils.
Wait at least 15 minutes after getting 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.

TRIM
Pop-up Trimmer:

Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. (Diagram F)
Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns. (Diagram G)
Close trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram H)

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.

Caution:
Cleaning Your Shaver
To ensure long lasting performance, it is important to clean your shaver regularly. We recommend you clean your shaver after each use. The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the shaver is by rinsing the shaver head after use with warm water.

Weekly Cleaning

Clean under the assembly at least once a week:

Turn the shaver off.
Remove the head assembly from the shaver body (Diagram I).
Gently tap the shaver head on a flat surface to remove any loose hair particles, and rinse the shaver head under warm water (Diagram J).
Never submerge your shaver under water.
Thoroughly clean the cutter and trimmer with a brush (Diagram J).
Never use the cleaning brush on the foils, as damage may occur.
Shake off any excess water.
Leave the shave unit open to allow the shaver to dry completely.
Lubricate the shaver with a spray of Remington® Shaver Saver (SP4) on the foil and cutters.
Replace the head assembly, simply by pushing it on the shaver.

Note: Cover shaver head with the head guard between uses. When removing the head guard or placing it back onto the shaver, do not apply pressure to the floating cutter surfaces, as you may damage them.

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.

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 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 F2000AU 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 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.
