If you have tried the advice above but your nose trimmer still does not work, then please contact us for further assistance.
- Switch on your nose trimmer and rinse the trimming head of the nose trimmer with luke-warm water. Then switch off the appliance again.
- If rinsing the trimming head under the tap is not sufficient, immerse the trimming head in a glass with warm water for a few minutes. Do not put the handle of the trimmer in the water, as this can damage its internal machinery.
- If this not helps, detach the nose trimmer attachment and soak this part separately in water for 8 hours.
- Carefully shake off excess water and let the trimmer air dry.
