performance.
1. Turn the shaver OFF.
2. Press the side release 
button to flip open the 
head assembly.

brush to clean the
screens. Instead, blow the
shavings out or rinse the
screens under cold or
warm water.

Use the cleaning brush 
to sweep any loose hairs
from the cutters and 
trimmers, or rinse/dunk
them in cold or warm
water. Do NOT use hot
water.
5. After cleaning, return the
foils and head assembly 
to their original position 
on the shaver.
6. If the shaver was rinsed
with water, or if you used 
it in the shower, hold it 
facing downward into the
sink, and turn it on for a
few seconds to dispel 
additional water. A gentle 
shake will also help.

shaver, use a damp cloth. Do NOT use
strong detergents or other chemicals.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Replacing Cutters And
Screens
When is it time to replace your screens
and cutters?
The cutters and screens of your shaver 
will wear with use and eventually require
replacement to maintain a close, comfort-
able shave. It is very important to replace
your screens and cutters when necessary
to ensure a close, comfortable shave 
without irritation.
Depending on your shaving technique 
and habits, the screens will usually last 6
months; the cutters, 12 months. If you are
replacing the cutters it’s a good idea to
replace the screens at the same time.
Here are some signs that you screens and
cutters need replacing:
Irritation: As screens get worn, you may
notice that your skin feels more sensitive
after a shave.
Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may
not feel as close and you may feel your
shaver is “pulling” the hairs.
Wear-through: You may notice that the
cutters have worn through the screens.
To prevent inadvertent damage to the 
cutters and screens, do not attempt to
remove them from the head assembly
unless you are replacing them. Removal
instructions are included with the cutter and
screen replacement packages.
The replacement part for the WDF-1200 
& 1600 is model SP-130 & SP-132.
U.S. residents:
To order shaver accessories call
800.736.4648, visit
www.remington-products.com
or visit you local retailer.
To replace a cutter assembly that is
removed unintentionally: 
1. Hold the cutter in the middle. The blades
will not cut your fingers, so no special
handling techniques are necessary.
2. Align the cutter so the little bar on the
bottom meets the opening in the clip.
3. Press down on the center of the cutter
until it snaps into place. Do not push
down on the ends of the cutter, as you
may bend the cutter, reducing its ability
to cut cleanly.
4. Do not separate the cutter’s blades from
the plastic pieces they are attached to,
as this may damage the assembly.
Rechargeable Battery
Removal
When your WDF-1600 reaches the end 
of its useful life, the batteries must be
removed from the shaver and be recycled
or disposed of properly in accordance with
your state and local requirements. If this 
is not required by law, you may elect to 
dispose of the shaver without the batteries.
Make sure shaver is unplugged before you
begin, to avoid possible electric shock 
hazard.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT IN FIRE OR MUTI-
LATE YOUR BATTERIES WHEN DISPOSING
AS THEY MAY BURST AND RELEASE TOXIC
MATERIALS. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT AS IT
MAY CAUSE BURNS. DISPOSE PROPERLY 
IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL AND
STATE REQUIREMENTS.
How to Remove the Rechargable Battery:
1. Press the head release button to open
the shaver’s head assembly.
2. Pull the cutters off the cutter drives
that hold them.
