Remington WDF-1600 - Manual (Page 4)

How to Use
Reference your Safety Instructions while
operating your new shaver.
Charging Your
WDF-1600
Before using your rechargeable shaver for
the first time, you will need to charge it for
18-24 hours; it will
recharge more quickly after
its initial charge.
1. Take the charging base
that came with the
shaver, and plug its cord
into an electrical outlet.
2. Set the shaver securely
into the charging base.
The green light indicates your shaver is
charging. The shaver cannot be over-
charged, so you can leave it plugged in
and charging between shaves.
To preserve the life of the batteries, let
them fully run out every six months, then
recharge them for a full 24 hours.
Charging Cautions
■ Make sure the shaver and your hands
are dry when placing the shaver in the
charging stand.
■ When inserting the shaver into the
charging stand, avoiding pushing on
the screens, or they may become
damaged.
■ Always charge the shaver in a cool,
dry place.
■ The charging stand can only be used
in North America (120V, 60Hz).
Inserting Batteries Into Your
WDF-1200
Before using your battery-operated shaver,
you will need to insert 2 AA alkaline
batteries. We recommend Rayovac
® brand
alkaline batteries.
1. Turn the bottom tip of the shaver counter
clockwise and pull. The bottom third of
the shaver should easily pull away,
exposing the battery compartment.
2. Align the (+) and (-) symbols and
insert 2 AA alkaline batteries into
the compartment.
3. Return the bottom of the shaver to its
original position and turn the bottom
tip clockwise to lock it in place.
Operating Your
Shaver
■ Remove the protective
head guard before
shaving.
■ Press the ON/ OFF
button to turn the
shaver on.
■ Hold the shaver so both
screens touch your skin at the same
time. This allows the shaver to work
the way it was designed for the closest
shave and minimum wear. Avoid holding
the shaver at an angle so only one
screen touches the skin at a time. This
can distort the screen and could cause
skin irritation.
■ After shaving, press the ON/OFF button
again to turn the shaver off.
■ Rinse the shaver head and replace
the protective head guard.
Usage Tips
■ Use a light touch
when shaving.
Pressing hard only
flattens your hairs,
making it harder for
them to enter the
cutting chamber. It
will also wear out
the cutting surface
of your shaver more
quickly.
■ For best results, shave against the
direction your hair grows. However, your
Smooth & Silky® will shave your leg in
any direction.
■ If you’ve been shaving with a blade, your
skin may need up to 3 weeks to adjust
to an electric shaver. Once your skin
adjusts, you’ll get an incredibly close,
comfortable shave.
■ After shaving, apply a moisturizing lotion
to make your skin feel even more silky.
Wet/Dry Use
All Smooth & Silky® shavers give you a
great, close shave wet or dry. Your Smooth
& Silky® shaver is fully submersible in
water, so you can shave with foam or soapy
lather, in the shower or the tub. Dry use is
great for a quick, close shave when you’re
in a hurry; no special preparation is
necessary. After shaving, wet or dry, simply
run the shaver under cold water to clean it.
(See “Cleaning & Maintenance’ section for
details.)
Wet/Dry Tips
■ When using soap or foam lather, the
shaver will glide smoothly over the skin,
cleansing away oil residue while leaving
skin soft and smooth. Apply the soap or
foam generously. Do not use non-lather-
ing shaving cream, nourishing cream,
or skin lotion, as these will clog the
shaver’s screens.
■ Wait until you’ve been in the shower
or bath a few minutes before you begin
shaving, so skin and hairs are fully
hydrated. This leads to a closer wet
shave.
Wet/Dry Cautions
■ Charging stands are not submersible.
■ Always use cold or warm water to rinse
your shaver. Very hot water, sea water,
or cleanser could damage it.
■ Do not leave the shaver submerged in
water.
Operating The Trimmer
All Smooth & Silky® shavers are equipped
with a trimmer that works with the foils to
give you an extra close and comfortable
shave.
Trimming Tips
■ When trimming longer hairs, tip the
shaver slightly so the trimmer glides
across the skin.
■ Move the trimmer against the direction
of hair growth.
