above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.

English

- If your shaver comes with a cleaning system, always use the
original Philips cleaning fluid (cartridge or bottle, depending on the
type of cleaning system).
- Always place the cleaning system on a stable, level and horizontal
surface to prevent leakage.
- If your cleaning system uses a cleaning cartridge, always make
sure the cartridge compartment is closed before you use the
cleaning system to clean or charge the shaver.
- When the cleaning system is ready for use, do not move it to
prevent leakage of cleaning fluid.
- Water may drip from the socket at the bottom of the shaver when
you rinse it. This is normal and not dangerous because all
electronics are enclosed in a sealed power unit inside the shaver.
- Do not use the supply unit in or near wall sockets that contain an
electric air freshener to prevent irreparable damage to the supply
unit.

Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you expect and your
skin may even become slightly irritated. This is normal. Your skin and
beard need time to adapt to any new shaving system. To allow your
skin to adapt to this new appliance, we advise you to shave regularly
(at least 3 times a week) and exclusively with this appliance for a
period of 3 weeks.
Shaving tips
- To ensure the best result, we advise you to pre-trim your beard if
you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
- Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.
Dry shaving

straight movements.
