- The floating foil frame automatically adapts to the skin surface for a smooth shave.
- Rotating Styler (4):
- Wide Shaper (4a - 28 mm): Ideal for evenly cutting and trimming large areas like sideburns, moustaches, and partial short beards. It features safety rips and a gliding strip for less irritation. To use, press the blue stripes to push up the styler. Guide against hair growth while stretching the skin.
- Narrow Shaper (4b - 14 mm): Designed for precise contouring, defining lines, and edges. To use, push up the styler and turn it 180°.
- Frequent use of the styler may reduce battery capacity.
- Trimming Attachment (7):
- Used for beard trimming and maintaining a constant length.
- Attaches onto the shaver foil (2) and snaps into place.
- Beard Length Selector (8): Press and slide up to set desired beard length (1.2 mm, 2.8 mm, 4.4 mm, 6 mm).
- Activate the on/off switch and trim against hair growth, guiding the transparent comb part over the skin.
- Short Beard Attachment (10):
- Perfect for creating and maintaining a stubble look.
- Attaches in the same way as the trimming attachment (7).

Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning Under Running Water:
- The appliance is suitable for cleaning under an open water tap.
- Warning: Detach the hand-held part from the power supply before cleaning in water.
- For quick cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the shaving head under hot running water (g).
- A natural-based soap (without particles or abrasive substances) can be used. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
- After rinsing, switch off the shaver, remove the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3), and leave the disassembled parts to dry.
- If regularly cleaned under water, apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil (i) once a week.
- Brush Cleaning (h):
- Switch off the shaver and remove the shaver foil.
- Use the provided brush to clean the cutter block (3) and the inner area of the shaver head.
- Do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this may damage it.
- Battery Preservation:
- To maintain optimum battery capacity, fully discharge the shaver (by shaving) approximately every 6 months, then recharge to full capacity.
- Replacement Parts:
- Replace the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3) (part number 20S) at least every 18 months or when worn to maintain 100% shaving performance. Changing both parts simultaneously ensures a closer shave with less skin irritation.
- Oil Bottle: Keep out of reach of children. Do not swallow. Dispose of properly when empty.
