For best shaving performance, it is recommended that you use your new shaver daily for up to four weeks to allow time for your beard and skin to become accustomed to the new shaving system.

Charging Your Shaver:

1. Ensure the product is switched off. Connect the shaver to the adapter, then to the mains and charge for at least 24 hours when using for the first time.

2. For the F7790 model: Place your shaver in the charging stand, connect the charging adaptor to the stand and then to the mains.

3. After the shaver batteries are fully charged, the charging indicator light will flash (F4790), the fuel gauge (F5790), or the LCD display (F6790, F7790) will indicate the shaver is fully charged.

4. Use the product until the battery is low. This is indicated by an illuminated red light (F4790, F5790) or by the digital display (F6790, F7790).

5. Fully recharge for 24 hours every 6 months to maintain battery condition.

When empty, the battery will be fully charged in around 120 minutes to provide 60 minutes of shaving time. The shaver adapts automatically to a mains voltage between 100V and 240V.

1. Make sure your shaver is properly charged.

2. Begin by removing the protective head guard from your shaver.

3. Switch the shaver on.

4. Slide the pop-up trimmer up and use it to remove long hair first. Then slide it down when finished.

5. Stretch the skin with your free hand so the hairs stand upright.

6. Hold the shaving head so all foils touch your skin simultaneously. The independently floating foils automatically adjust to the contours of your face. Only apply light pressure on the shaving head whilst shaving and use short, circular strokes.

7. After shaving, turn the shaver off.

8. To shave without the head pivoting system, slide the trimmer up to the first position.

The trimmer on the REMINGTON F6790 has three positions:

1. Completely retracted (down): The trimmer is out of the way and off, for when you want to use the screens alone. Press the trimmer button down with your thumb to get it into this position.

2. Middle position: In this position, the trimmer locks the pivoting head.

3. Fully extended (up): The trimmer can be used to trim your sideburns and moustache. It can also work with the screens, cutting the longer, hard-to-shave hairs so the screens can get extra close.

1. Ensure your skin is dry.

2. Always hold the shaver at right angles to the skin so that both foils are touching the skin with equal pressure.

3. Use moderate to slow stroking movements. The use of short circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

4. DO NOT hold the shaver at an angle whereby only one foil is touching the skin. This will distort the foil and may cause the cutters to damage it.

5. DO NOT press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the foil.

Connect the shaver to the adapter, then to the mains and recharge for 5 minutes before using. Be aware that extended mains-only use will result in the reduction of the battery life.

Care for your product to ensure a long-lasting performance. We recommend you clean your shaver after each use. The easiest and most hygienic way is by rinsing the product head with warm water. Always keep the protective cap on the shaving head and keep the trimmer in the “off” position when not in use.

Dry Cleaning:

1. Pull the foil assembly up to remove it from the hair pocket.

2. Thoroughly blow out the stubble from the foils and cutters.

3. Use the cleaning brush to sweep out the cutters. Do not use the cleaning brush on the foils as damage may occur.

4. Replace the head assembly.

Washable Cleaning:

1. Pull the foil assembly up to remove it from the hair pocket.

2. Foils: Do not use the brush to clean the foils. Instead, blow the shavings out or rinse the foils under cold or warm water.

3. Cutters & Trimmers: Use the cleaning brush to sweep any loose hairs from the cutter and trimmer. Rinse them in cold or warm water. Do not use hot water.

4. Do not submerge the shaver in water.

5. After cleaning, replace the head assembly.

CAUTION: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while the shaver is running. To clean external surfaces, use a damp cloth and do not use strong detergents or chemicals. To dry, wipe the surface with a dry towel.

To ensure the continued highest quality performance from your shaver, we recommend that foils and cutters are replaced regularly.

Signs that your foils and cutters need replacing:

Irritation: As foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.

Pulling: As the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel your cutter pulling your hair.

Wear through: You may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.

To Replace the Foil:

1. Pull the foil assembly up to remove it from the hair pocket.

2. Insert the new foil assembly in the hair pocket until it snaps in place.

To Replace the Cutters:

1. Grasp the cutter between your thumb and forefinger and pull upward.

2. Snap both new cutter assemblies into the top of the oscillator tips.

Note: Do not press on the cutter ends as this may cause damage.

If your shaver battery is completely empty or the shaver has not been used for an extended period of time, it may not start when operated using the cord. If this occurs, charge the shaver for approximately 15 seconds before shaving.

Your shaver should be mainly used in cordless mode and only recharged when the battery charge is low. Extended mains-only use or continuous connection to the mains will result in the reduction of the battery life.

When your rechargeable shaver 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.

To Remove the Rechargeable Battery:

1. Using a small screwdriver, pry off the front panel.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the (4) screws from the front of the shaver, and remove the front housing.

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the (8) screws from the front of the shaver.

4. Remove and open the core from the shaver to expose the batteries.

5. Cut the wires connecting the batteries to the circuit board.

6. Remove the batteries and dispose of them properly.

CAUTION: Do not put in fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns.
