Preparing for use

Placing the battery
Note: Make sure your hands and product are dry when inserting the battery.

To remove the battery compartment cover, turn it clockwise (Fig. 3) until the setting indicator points to the ‘unlocked‘ indication (^) (Fig. 4).
Pull the battery compartment cover off the handle (Fig. 5).
Put the battery in the battery compartment (Fig. 6). Make sure the + and – poles of the battery point in the right direction.
Note: The product operates on one disposable 1.5 V AA alkaline battery (included).
Slide the battery compartment cover back onto the handle (Fig. 7).
Turn the battery compartment cover counterclockwise until the setting indicator points to the ‘off’ indication (0) (Fig. 8).

Using the product

Use the product for the following purposes:

Trimming your nose and ear hair with the cutting element of the trimming head.
Trimming your eyebrows with the eyebrow guard attached to the cutting element of the trimming head.

Note: The nose trimmer is not designed to clean-shave your nostrils or ear channels, but to cut the hairs to a shorter length. Nose and ear hairs have important protective functions and should not be fully removed.

Switching the product on and off

To switch on the product, turn the battery compartment cover counterclockwise until the setting indicator aligns with the ‘on‘ indication (I) (Fig. 8).
To switch off the product, turn the battery compartment cover clockwise until the setting indicator aligns with the ‘off‘ indication (0) (Fig. 9).

Trimming eyebrows with the eyebrow guard

Comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth (Fig. 10).
Make sure the product is switched off. Slide the eyebrow guard onto the cutting element (Fig. 11). The short eyebrow guard trims the hairs to a length of 1/8 in./3 mm.
Note: Make sure the guard clicks into place.
Switch on the product.
Place the trimmer in a position perpendicular to your face. Make sure that the back of the guard lies flat on the skin (Fig. 12).
Slowly move the trimmer against the hair growth direction (Fig. 13). Press lightly and make sure that the flat surface of the guard always stays in contact with the skin.
Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Trimming nose hair
Make sure both the product and nasal passages are clean before trimming. Dried nasal mucus can block the cutting element, preventing the product from turning on.
Note: If there is an eyebrow guard attached to the cutting element, remove it before trimming nose or ear hair. (Fig. 14)

Switch on the product.
Carefully insert the cutting element into one of your nostrils.
Be careful not to insert the cutting element too deep into the nostrils (max. 15/32 in./12 mm).
Move the cutting element in and out of the nostril in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter length (Fig. 15). Make sure that the cutting teeth touch the hair by rotating the cutting element inside your nostril. While rotating you may hold the flat side of the trimmer against the skin to reduce any tickling effect that might occur.
Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Trimming ear hair
Make sure your outer ear channels are clean and free from wax.
Note: If there is an eyebrow guard attached to the cutting element, remove it before trimming nose or ear hair. (Fig. 14)

Switch on the product.
Slowly move the cutting element along the rim of the ear to remove hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
Carefully insert the cutting element into the outer ear channel. Move the tip in and out of the outer ear channel in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter length (Fig. 16).
Do not insert the cutting element too deep into your ear channel, as this could damage the eardrum (max. 15/32 in./12 mm).
Clean thoroughly after each use (see ‘Cleaning‘).

Cleaning

Clean the product immediately after use and when a lot of hair or dirt has accumulated on the cutting element.
Do not immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid, or rinse it under the tap.
Only the trimming head and attachments can be rinsed under the tap.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as gasoline or acetone to clean the product.
Do not tap on the cutting elements.
Do not use any sharp objects to clean the cutting elements.
Never dry the cutting unit with a towel or tissue, as this may damage the trimming teeth.

Use the cleaning brush to remove any excess hair from the cutting element (Fig. 17).
Rinse the cutting element of the trimming head with lukewarm tap water (Fig. 18).
Switch on the product and rinse the cutting element once more to remove any remaining hairs (Fig. 18). Then switch off the product again.
Tip: For a thorough clean, immerse the trimming head in a glass with warm water for ca. 30 minutes to soak and soften the debris. Be careful not to immerse the handle in water. Then switch on the product and rinse the cutting element under the tap to remove stubborn hair/debris.
Rinse the eyebrow guard with lukewarm water (Fig. 20). You can also use the cleaning brush to clean the eyebrow guard.
Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts air-dry (Fig. 21). Let all parts dry completely before you use the product again.
