The Remington Smooth&Silky Titanium Cleaning System is an advanced women's shaver designed for a close, comfortable, and hygienic shaving experience. This device integrates a comprehensive cleaning system that automatically cleans, charges, and renews the shaver after each use, ensuring optimal performance and freshness every time.
The primary function of the Remington Smooth&Silky Titanium Cleaning System is to provide efficient and gentle hair removal for legs, underarms, and the bikini area. It is specifically designed as a wet shaver, allowing for use in a bath or shower, which enhances comfort and skin protection. The shaver utilizes foils and trimmers to effectively cut hair close to the skin.
Beyond its shaving capabilities, the device features an innovative cleaning system. When the shaver is placed in its cleaning base, it automatically initiates a 25-minute cleaning and lubricating cycle. During this cycle, the shaver is turned on and off intermittently while a specially formulated cleaning/lubricating fluid is jetted onto the shaver head. This process ensures that hair clippings, skin debris, and other residues are thoroughly removed, and the cutting components are lubricated, which helps maintain their sharpness and prolong their lifespan. After the cleaning cycle, the system automatically transitions into charging mode, ensuring the shaver is fully powered and ready for the next use. The cleaning base also serves as a convenient storage unit for the shaver between uses.
The shaver is equipped with a cordless rechargeable power system, offering freedom of movement during use. It operates on worldwide voltage (100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz), making it suitable for international travel with the appropriate adapter plug.
To begin using the shaver, it must first be charged. For the initial use, a 24-hour charge is recommended. The shaver can be charged either by placing it in the cleaning base or by plugging the power cord directly into the shaver. A green charging indicator light will glow when the shaver is charging or fully charged. A red low-charge indicator light will illuminate when the shaver needs recharging, providing approximately 5 minutes of remaining shaving time.
Before each shave, the clear plastic head guard should be removed. It is crucial to keep the head guard on when the shaver is not in use or out of the cleaning base to protect the screen and cutter assembly.
For optimal shaving, it is recommended to hold the shaver so that both screens touch the skin simultaneously. This technique allows the shaver to work as designed, providing the closest shave with minimal wear. Avoiding holding the shaver at an angle, which could distort the screen and cause skin irritation, is important. Users should not press hard, as this can flatten hairs, making them harder to cut and accelerating wear on the cutting surface.
The shaver can be used with soap or foam lather to enhance glide and cleanse the skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It is important to apply soap or foam generously and avoid using skin lotions, nourishing creams, or non-lathering shaving creams.
The cleaning system is activated by placing the shaver head-side down into the cleaning base and pressing the CLEAN button. A yellow indicator light flashes during the cleaning cycle and glows steadily upon completion. It is essential to wait until the cleaning cycle is finished before removing the shaver from the base, as premature removal will leave the shaver covered in cleaning solution, rendering it temporarily unusable.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the Remington Smooth&Silky Titanium Cleaning System.
The cleaning solution in the base provides approximately 25 cleanings under normal circumstances. The solution is subject to evaporation, so the number of cleanings may vary. To minimize evaporation, the cleaning base and solution should be kept out of direct sunlight. A red "replace solution" indicator light will flash when the solution levels are low, indicating approximately 5 cleanings remaining. When this light glows steadily, the unit will not operate until the solution and filter are replaced.
To refill the cleaning solution and replace the filter, users must press the latch buttons on the sides of the cleaning base and lift off the top section. The filter, which collects hair clippings and debris, should be removed from the solution tank. After pouring a new bottle of Remington cleaning solution into the tank, the filter should be returned, and the top section of the cleaning base should be reattached, ensuring the latches click into place. The tank should be rinsed with fresh water and air-dried to remove sediment before refilling. Only Remington® special cleaning solution and filters (model #CC-100) should be used to avoid damage to the cleaning system.
The shaver's screens and cutters are subject to wear and require periodic replacement to maintain a close, comfortable shave without irritation. Screens typically last about 6 months, while cutters last about 12 months. It is advisable to replace both components simultaneously. Signs that screens and cutters need replacing include skin irritation, pulling sensations during shaving, or visible wear-through. Replacement parts (SP-130 for screens and SP-132 for screens and cutters) are available through authorized retailers or Remington's customer service. Instructions for replacing cutters are included with the replacement packages.
For battery maintenance, it is recommended to let the batteries fully run out every six months and then recharge them for a full 24 hours to preserve their life. The shaver cannot be overcharged, so it can be left plugged in and charging between shaves. If the battery is completely discharged or the shaver has not been used for a long time, an initial charge of one to two hours is recommended before shaving, followed by a 16-hour charge for full capacity.
Proper storage of the cleaning base is important. It should be kept on a flat table surface, away from radiators or surfaces susceptible to damage by isopropyl alcohol. The appliance and cord should always be stored in a moisture-free and well-ventilated area. The cleaning base should not be placed in an enclosed cabinet unless the solution tank is empty. The cord should not be wrapped around the appliance, and the unit should be kept away from ignition sources and out of reach of children.
When the rechargeable shaver reaches the end of its useful life, the batteries must be removed and disposed of properly according to local requirements. The manual provides detailed instructions for battery removal, which involves disassembling the shaver to access and disconnect the battery assembly. It is crucial not to put batteries in fire, mutilate them, or short-circuit them, as they may burst or release toxic materials.
