Using the shaver

Shaving

Skin adaptation period

Your rst shaves may not bring you the result you expect and your skin

may even become slightly irritated. This is normal. Your skin and beard need

time to adapt to any new shaving system.

We advise you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) for a period of

3 weeks to allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver. During this period,

use your new electric shaver exclusively and do not use other shaving

methods. If you use different shaving methods, it is more difcult for your

skin to adapt to the new shaving system.

1 Press the on/off button once to switch on the shaver.

, RQ1195/RQ1187/RQ1180/RQ1175: The display lights up for a few

2 Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.

- Do not make straight movements.

3 Press the on/off button once to switch off the shaver.
