accustomed to the Philips shaving system.

on/off slide downwards.
2Put the protection cap on the shaver
every time you have used it, to
prevent damage (fig. 7).

performance.
◗For easy and optimal cleaning, the
Philips Action Clean (shaving head
cleaner, type HQ100) is available.
Ask your Philips dealer for
information (fig. 8).
BThe Philips Action Clean may not be
available in all countries. Contact the
Customer Care Centre in your country
about the availability of this accessory.
You can also clean the shaver in the
following way:
Every week: shaving unit and
hair chamber
1Switch the shaver off or remove it
from the wall socket.
2Clean the top of the appliance first,
using the brush supplied (fig. 9).
3Press the release button (1) and
remove the shaving unit (2) (fig. 10).
4Clean the inside of the shaving unit
and the hair chamber with the brush
(fig. 11).
5Put the shaving unit back onto the
shaver.
Every two months: shaving
heads
1Switch the shaver off or remove it
from the wall socket.
2Press the release button (1) and
remove the shaving unit (2) (fig. 10).
3Remove the retaining frame by
pushing the sides of the central
spring towards each other (1) and

shaving unit (2) (fig. 12).
4Slide the shaving heads out of the
retaining frame and clean them one
by one (fig. 13).
Do not mix up the cutters and the
guards.
This is essential since each cutter has been
ground with its corresponding guard for
optimal performance. If you accidentally
mix the sets up, it could take several
weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
5Clean the cutter with the short-
bristled side of the brush (fig. 14).
Brush carefully in the direction of the
arrow.
6Brush the guard (fig. 15).
7Slide the shaving heads back into the
retaining frame and put the retaining
frame back into the shaving unit
(fig. 16).
8Put the shaving unit back onto the
shaver.
◗For extra thorough cleaning, clean
the shaving heads by putting them in
a degreasing liquid (e.g. alcohol)
every six months. To remove the
shaving heads, follow steps 1 to 4
described above. After cleaning,
lubricate the central point on the
inside of the guards with a drop of
sewing machine oil to prevent wear
of the shaving heads (fig. 17).
Storage.
◗Put the protection cap on the shaver
to prevent damage (fig. 7).
