Cleaning
Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving
performance.
The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the

chamber every day with hot water (60cC-80cC).

Action Clean (shaving head cleaner, type
HQ100) is available.Ask your Philishave dealer

When you clean the appliance, it is not necessary
to take the shaving heads (cutters and guards)
apart. If you want to take them apart, be sure not
to mix up the cutters and guards, since grinding of
the cutters in the guards only guarantees optimal
performance for each matching set. If you
accidentally mix up the sets, it could take several
weeks before optimal shaving performance is
restored.
