clean it daily by pushing the CLEAN button.  
In order to avoid any leakage of the  
cleaning fluid,place the cleaning base  
on a flat table surface. Be careful not to

way if the base is filled with the  
cleaning fluid.

During the automated cleaning process,the

of your shaver.

(J) Safety power plug  
Do not place the cleaning base in a  
cabinet or any other enclosed area  
unless the solution is empty. Do not  
store it over radiators,nor place it on  
polished,lacquered,or any other sur-  
face that is susceptible to damage by  
isopropyl alcohol. Always operate and  
store it in a well ventilated area.  
NOTE: Remington recommends cleaning  
your shaver daily for optimum shaving  
performance.  
(F)  
(G)  
NOTE: With daily cleaning,the solution will  
last about 4 weeks.The cleaning solution,if  
not used daily, will last longer. Normal  
evaporation will occur even when the unit  
is not being used.In hot,humid weather,  
solution may evaporate more rapidly.  
To avoid evaporation,do not expose  
cleaning solution to direct sunlight.  
(H)  
The cleaning base contains highly  
flammable liquid. Keep it away from  
sources of ignition. No smoking.  
Keep out of reach of children.Discard  
cleaning solution bottle after contents  
have been poured into the cleaning base.  
When cleaning the shaver, its clear  
plastic head guard must be removed.

base by lining up the three tall posts  
Solution levels  
To Charge Your Shaver  
The MS-5500 and MS-5700 can also be  
recharged by plugging it into the cord  
directly.  
Use only the charging adapter supplied  
with the shaver.  
The cleaning solution will slowly evaporate  
with use. When the solution levels get low,  
the red replacement indicator light will  
begin to flash. This means you have  
enough cleaning solution left for approxi-  
mately 5 more cleanings.If the red light  
stops blinking and glows steadily, the unit  
will not operate until the solution and filter  
have been replaced.  
Before using your shaver for the first time, put

it on charge for 24 hours.

latches click into place.  
Preparing the System  
Cleaning solution:  
1. Press the latch but-  
tons on the sides of  
the cleaning base  
and lift the upper  
portion off the unit.  
You will need to  
6. You can dispose of the bottle and cap  
with your normal trash,or recycle where  
local ordinances apply.  
Make sure your shaver is turned off.  
Connect the cord to the shaver, then  
plug the charging adapter into the elec-  
trical outlet.A charging indicator light  
will come on.  
Your shaver cannot be overcharged,so  
you can leave it plugged in and charg-  
ing 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.  
Cord/cordless rechargeable shavers  
can run directly off the cord if neces-  
sary. They will not recharge while you  
are shaving,so after shaving with the  
cord,turn the unit off and set it aside to  
charge.Cord/cordless shavers should  
not be used strictly as cord-operated  
shavers,as continued cord-only use  
will result in reduction of battery life.  
Quick Charge provides up to three  
weeks of shaving after a one-hour  
charge,or a single shave after a  
five-minutes charge.

Operating the  
Charging/Cleaning System  
Replacing the Filter and Solution  
Only the Remington® special cleaning  
solution and filter can be used with the  
Smart System.The cleaning solution  
contains a high percentage of alcohol and a  
special oil that lubricates your shaver each  
time it is cleaned.The filter is specially  
designed to collect hair debris yet allow for  
the system to clean your shaver.  
Plug the power cord into the cleaning base

the base.The clean-  
ing solution tank is  
in the unit’s bottom  
portion.  
Charging  
Your shaver automatically begins to  
recharge as soon as it clicks into place in  
the cleaning base.While it is charging,the  
green indicator light will flash; when it is  
fully charged the green light will stop  
blinking and glow steadily.  
To refill the cleaning solution and replace  
the filter, follow the steps for "Preparing the  
System" above.But before replacing the  
upper portion of the unit,rinse out the tank  
with fresh water and allow it to air dry to  
remove any sediment.  
2. Remove the filter  
from the tank and  
set aside.

3. Pour the bottle of  
cleaning solution  
into the base of the  
unit through the  
opening where the filter was removed.  
Fill tank to the bottom of the fill tab.  
Cleaning  
To activate cleaning mode,simply press the  
CLEAN button on the cleaning base.The  
yellow indicator light flashes through the  
entire cleaning cycle,which lasts approxi-  
mately 25 minutes.When the cleaning  
cycle has been completed,the yellow light  
will stop blinking and glow steadily. The  
unit then returns to charging mode.  
Wipe off the unit periodically with a damp  
cloth and remove any hair debris that has  
collected where the shaver sits.  
! To avoid damage to the cleaning system,  
use only Remington special cleaning  
solution.  
The Remington® replacement solution and  
filter is model #CC-100.U.S.residents:  
To order, contact us at 800-736-4648,  
your local retailer.  
4. Place the filter back into its original position.  
If your shavers charge runs out in the  
middle of a shave,you can push the  
power reserve button to get an extra 5  
minutes of power.  
NOTE: It is important to make sure the filter  
is in place.The filter collects hair clippings  
and debris,and should be replaced along  
with the solution. Failure to do so will  
permanently clog the system rendering it  
inoperable.  
! Wait until the cleaning cycle has finished  
before removing the shaver from the base.  
If the shaver is removed during the clean-  
ing cycle it will be covered with cleaning  
solution and be unuseable.  
NOTE: If your shaver battery is completely  
discharged or the shaver has not been  
used for a long time,the shaver may not  
start when operated using the cord.If this  
happens,charge the shaver for approxi-  
mately five minutes before shaving.

How to Use (continued)  
Usage Tips  
To shave  
Push the ON/OFF button.  
Hold the shaver so both  
screens touch your face  
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 will distort the screen and could cause  
skin irritation.  
Adjusting to your new shaver  
Removing the Headguard  
Operating the Pop-up  
Mini-foil  
Your shaver is equipped with a 2-position  
mini-foil.Use the mini-foil push tab to  
extend or retract the mini foil.  
As with every shaver, your shave will  
improve over time.So allow about three  
weeks to develop an effective shaving style  
and for your beard to adjust to the new  
shaver. The adaptation period may take a  
little longer if your skin is sensitive,or if you  
alternate between shaving methods.  
Before operating your  
shaver, remove the head-  
guard,which protects the  
screen and cutter assem-  
bly. Simply push up from  
the front or the back until  
it pops off.  
1. Completely retracted (down),the mini-  
foil works with the 2 large screens to  
provide a close and comfortable shave.  
! Always keep the protective head guard  
on the shaver head and keep the trimmer  
in the OFF position when the shaver is out  
of the cleaning base and not in use.  
To help smooth the transition to your new  
shaver, Remington has applied a special  
lubricant to the shaver’s screens and cut-  
ters.The lubricant looks like fine,white or  
gray powder, and disappears with use.  
2. Fully extended (up),the mini-foil can be  
used to provide a close shave for small  
or difficult-to-reach areas,for a detailed  
look.  
Shave with short,  
! Do NOT retract the mini-foil by pressing  
down directly on the screen.This could  
permanently damage the screen.  
circular strokes.Use  
your free hand to  
stretch your skin.  
This encourages your  
whiskers to stand out,  
making it easier for them  
to enter the cutting chamber.  
Operating the Trimmer  
Your shaver is  
equipped with a 3-  
position trimmer. Use  
the trimmer push tab  
to extend or retract the  
trimmer.  
Before you begin  
Wait at least 15 minutes  
after getting up before  
shaving,to ensure your  
face is free of puffiness  
that may be present  
from sleeping.

Never press hard.  
1. Completely retracted (down),the trim-  
mer is out of the way and off,for when  
you want to use the screens alone.  
Press the trimmer down with your  
thumb to get it into this position.

to enter the cutting  
chamber. It will also  
wear out the cutting surface more quickly.  
Always use a clean,dry  
shaver.  
2. In the middle position,the trimmer  
works with the screens,cutting the  
longer, hard-to-shave hairs so the  
screens can get in extra close.Slide the  
trimmer into the position level with the  
foils.  
For an even better shave…  
Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick  
(SP-5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe  
(SP-6) can help maximize your shaver’s  
performance.Just rub either product over  
your beard.Both absorb moisture and facial  
oils,helping set up the hairs so they enter  
the cutting chamber more easily. They  
make shaving quicker and more comfortable.  
3. Fully extended (up),the trimmer can be  
used to trim your sideburns and mus-  
tache.Slide the trimmer into the top  
position,above the foils.
