How To Use
■ Always keep the protective head guard on
the cutter head and keep the trimmer in
the “off”position when the shaver is not in
use. The head guard must be put on with
the rear tab to the back of the shaver.
Make sure your face is
clean and dry before
starting.

pop-up trimmer, simply

trimming. When through using, push the
trimmer button downward to lock into the off
position.

The Best Technique
It’s simple to get a great shave from your new
shaver. Here are a few tips for getting the
closest shave possible:

The MicroFlex needs no
adjustments to the heads
or cutters before you
shave. The floating heads
will automatically adjust to

Always use a clean, dry
shaver. Make sure that the
cutter head assembly is in
the locked position.
Simply touch the comb-

the contours of your face.
It is not necessary to apply pressure while
shaving…let the shaver glide lightly on your
skin. This gentle touch makes shaving easier
and helps avoid possible skin irritation.
Trim Mustache
Wait at least 15 minutes
Hold shaver at desired trim

Use short, circular strokes.
Use your free hand to
stretch your skin. This
encourages your whiskers
to stand out, making it
easier for them to enter

Usage Tips
Before using read the important safety
instruction section in front of the manual.
Model R-9190
Troubleshooting:
Worldwide Voltage
A blue indicator light shows charging. A red
low-battery indicator illuminates to show when
the shaver needs recharging. This also
indicates approximately 5 minutes of shaving
time left when indicator first comes on.
(all MicroFlex® models)
■ If your R-9190/9290 shaver battery is
completely dis-charged or the shaver has
not been used for an extended period of
time, the shaver may not start when
operated using the cord. If this condition
occurs, charge the shaver for approxi-
mately five minutes before shaving.
■ Your cord/cordless shaver should not be
used strictly as a cord-operated shaver,
as continued cord only use will result in
reduction of battery life.
You can take your shaver with you when you
travel to just about anywhere in the world.
Your shaver features worldwide automatic
dual voltage conversion providing AC current
between 100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz. Just
plug it in to the local outlet (you may need
an adapter plug) and use as usual. Your
shaver will convert automatically to the local
current requirements.
Charging
Prior to using your shaver for the first time,
put it on charge for 24 hours.
Model R-9290
To charge your shaver:
A blue lighted fuel gauge displays the amount
of charge remaining in 20% increments.
When only 20% of the charge remains, the
recharge red warning light illuminates.
■ Make sure your shaver is turned off.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver and then
the charging adapter to the electric outlet.
A charging indicator light will come on.
■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you
can leave it plugged in and charging
between shaves.
■ In order to preserve the life of the batter-
ies, they should be fully discharged every
six months and then fully charged for 24
hours.
■ Use only the charging adapter supplied
with the shaver.
■ Special feature allows you to run the
shaver directly off the cord. Your shaver
will not recharge while you are shaving,
so after shaving directly from the cord,
turn the unit off and set aside to charge.
■ Provides up to two weeks worth of shaving
after a one hour charge or a single shave
after five minutes of charging.
