Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds. · Next, switch off the shaver, press the foil release buttons (3) to remove the shaver foil (1) and cutter block (2). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry. · If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer and shaver foil. The following quick cleaning is another alternative cleaning method: · Press the foil release buttons (3) to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely).
