length of approx. 0.5mm.

Nose and ear hair trimmer
Use the nose and ear hair trimmer to trim your nose
and/or ear hair.
- Make sure nasal passages are clean. Make sure
outer ear channels are clean and free from wax.
- Do not insert the cutting element too deep into
your nostrils or ear channels (max. 5 mm).
- When trimming both nose and ear hair, make firm,
rotary movements to ensure that the cutting
element reaches all the hairs.
- Clean the nose and ear hair trimmer after each use
(see 'Cleaning the nose and ear hair trimmer').
Note: The nose and ear hair 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.
Trimming nose hair
1 Gently insert the cutting element into one of the
nostrils. Move the tip in and out of the nostril in a
firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter
length (Fig. 19).
Trimming ear hair
1 Slowly move the cutting element along the outer
ear to trim hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
2 Gently 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. 19).
Cleaning
