Frequently asked questions
This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the shaver. If you cannot find the answer

EngliSH
to your question, contact the Customer Care Centre in your country.
Question
Why doesn’t the shaving unit glide smoothly over my skin?
Why doesn’t the shaver shave as well as it used to?
Answer
You may not have applied enough shaving conditioner. Press the shaving conditioner button until a sufficient amount of NIVEA FOR MEN shaving conditioner has been released. This makes the shaving unit glide smoothly over your skin again.
You may not have cleaned the shaver properly.
Thoroughly clean the shaver (see chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
Why doesn’t the shaver work when I press the on/off button?
Long hairs may be obstructing the shaving heads.
Clean the shaving heads by following the steps of the extra-thorough cleaning method described below.
The shaving unit may be damaged or worn. Replace the shaving unit (see chapter ‘Replacement’).
The battery may be empty. Recharge the battery
(see chapter ‘Getting started’).
The travel lock may be activated. Deactivate the travel lock (see chapter ‘Storage and transport’, section ‘Transport’).
Dried shaving conditioner may block the shaving heads in the shaving unit. Clean the shaver thoroughly before you continue shaving (see chapter
‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
Question
Why does little shaving conditioner come out of the holes even though there is enough conditioner in the cartridge?
EngliSH
19
Answer
You may not have reassembled the shaving unit properly after extra-thorough cleaning. When you reassemble the shaving unit, make sure you turn each guard anticlockwise until it locks into position.
One of the conditioner holes may be blocked. Rinse or soak the shaving unit. If this does not work, pump shaving conditioner into the shaving conditioner cartridge until conditioner starts to come out of the blocked hole. If this does not work either, try the following method: 1) Switch off the shaver 2) Pull the shaving unit off the shaver 3) Put your finger on the hole that is not blocked 4) Switch on the shaver 5)
Press the shaving conditioner button several seconds until conditioner starts to come out of the blocked hole again.
You may not have put the shaving heads back into their original holders. One of the shaving heads does not have a shaving conditioner hole in its centre and needs to be placed in a specific holder. Make sure you put the shaving head without conditioner hole in the correct holder.This is the holder that is closest to the on/off button when the shaving unit is assembled on the shaver.
The shaving conditioner cartridge is almost empty.
Refill the cartridge (see chapter ‘Getting started’).
Why doesn’t any shaving conditioner come out of the holes when I press the shaving conditioner button?

Question
Why does the trimmer make more noise than other trimmers?
I dropped the shaver and the shaving unit fell apart.
How should I reassemble the shaving unit?
Why does the shaver suddenly produce a strange noise?
Answer
Due to the new open design, you hear the cutting action of the trimmer more clearly than is the case with other trimmers. This is normal and does not mean that there is something wrong with the trimmer.
Place the cutters in the shaving head holders with the cutter legs pointing upwards. Place the guards onto the holders (over the cutters) and turn them anticlockwise until they lock into position. One of the guards does not have a shaving conditioner hole in the centre and needs to be attached onto a specific holder. This is the holder that is closest to the on/off button when the shaving unit is assembled on the shaver. If the cutters and the guards have become mixed up, it may take several weeks before optimal shaving performance is restored.

Extra-thorough cleaning method
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
1 Pull the shaving unit off the shaver.
2 Turn the guard clockwise and lift it from the shaving unit.
Note: Only remove one shaving head at a time. This ensures that you always put the shaving head back into its original holder, which is necessary because two of the shaving heads have special holes for the shaving conditioner. This also ensures that you do not mix up the cutters and guards of different shaving heads, which affects the shaving performance.
If necessary, remove the cutter from the guard.
Clean the cutter and guard with the brush supplied.
5 After cleaning, place the cutter back into the shaving unit with the cutter legs pointing upwards.
6 Place the guard back onto the shaving head holder (over the cutter).
7 Turn the guard anticlockwise until it locks into position.
