  • When you charge the appliance for the first time or after a long period of non-use, let it charge until the charging light lights up continuously.
  • Charging takes approx. : 8 hours (S1133, S1231, S1232 only) or 1 hour (S1334 only). A fully charged shaver has a shaving time of up to 40 minutes.

S1334 only

Note: Before first usage charge the appliance for 3 hours without interruptions and until the battery  charging indication shows that the battery is full. This is needed to make maximum use of the battery capacity. All future charges will take 1 hour.

    – The charging light shows the charging status of the appliance.

Charging indications

Battery fully charged
When the battery is fully charged, the charging light lights up white continuously.
Note: After approx. 30 minutes, the charging light goes out to save energy.

 

When the battery is almost empty (when there are only 5 or fewer shaving minutes left), the charging light flashes orange.

Using the appliance

Note: This appliance can be used without cord or when it is connected to the wall socket.

Shaving tips and tricks

Note: For the best results on skin comfort, pre trim your beard if you have not shaved for 3  days or longer.

  3. Stretch your skin with your free hand so the blades can lift and cut hair. Gently press the shaver onto you skin so the floating heads can follow the contours of your face.
    Note: Do not press too hard as too much pressure can cause shaving heads to pinch the skin.
