■■■ Important English

■■■ Switching on/off
3 The slider switch has a locking
knob which prevents the shaver
from being switched on
accidentally.
Keeping the small knob on the
switch pressed-in slide the switch
upwards/downwards.
■■■ Charging
•Ensure that the shaver is switched off.
•It is advisable to charge the shaver at tempera-
tures between 5°and 35°C (41°and 95°F). This
guarantees maximum life from the rechargeable
batteries.
•If you keep the shaver in the case when
charging ensure that the lid is left open to
prevent overheating.
•Before first use (or if the shaver has not been
used for a long time) it should be charged for a
period of at least 8 hours.

To protect the environment, this
rechargeable Philishave appliance is
equipped with nickel-hydride batteries.
These contain less than 0.01% cadmium.
Yet we advise you to ensure that the batteries
are separated from the normal household
refuse and that they are disposed of at an
officially assigned place when discarding your
appliance in due course. Please refer to section
“Protecting the environment”.

•Recharging: 60 minutes.
The shaver can also be charged from a 12 - 24 Volts
(DC) supply using cord connector type HP 1957.
(Available from Philips retailers or Authorised Service
Dealers.) Charging from a 12 - 24 Volts (DC) supply
requires approx. 24 hours.
• Regular cleaning of the shaver means that less
battery energy is consumed, so that more shaving
time becomes available.
• The shaver will not be damaged by leaving it
connected to the mains supply after it is fully
charged.
However, it is not advisable to charge the shaver
permanently as this would shorten the life of the
rechargeable batteries.
4Insert the small plug into the
shaver. Ensure that the plug is
pushed fully home. (Note the
indication mark.)
Mains voltages: 100 - 240
Volts. (The shaver adjusts
automatically.)
5The green pilot light comes on.
If the batteries are almost empty, the
red pilot light will come on as well.
When this light goes out, there is
enough energy in the rechargeable
batteries for one cordless shave
(3 minutes).
6After 60 minutes the green pilot light
starts to flash. This means that the
shaver is fully charged.

■■■ Cordless shaving
7When the red pilot light comes on,
the reserve energy has been reached.
(You will be able to complete the
shave.)
As the shaver is switched off the red
pilot light will start flashing and
you will hear a sound signal for
4 seconds.
This indicates that it is time to recharge the
shaver.
■■■ Have you missed out charging?
When the batteries are completely empty and the
shaver stops, you can give the shaver a quick
charge (sufficient for one cordless shave):
- Charge the shaver until the red pilot light goes out.
■■■ Shaving directly from the mains supply (wall
socket)
- If you wish you can connect the shaver to a wall
socket using the mains cord and shave directly from
the mains supply.

■■■ Shaving
8Switch on.
9Move the shaving unit quickly over the skin and
especially against the direction of the hair growth,
stretching the skin with your free hand to bring the
hairs into an upright position.
• Best results are obtained if the skin is dry.
Preferably shave before or some time after
washing.
• If required apply a pre-shave lotion. This can be
particularly helpful if the climate is warm and humid.

13-28 Every 3 months:
shaving head slots, the hair chamber and
shaving unit (guards and cutters)
(If your skin is of an oily type or if you have been
using a pre-shave lotion: 1x per month.)
- First clean the shaver head slots and hair chamber
as previously described. (See figs. 13-16.) Then
proceed with figs. 17-28 for cleaning the shaving
unit.
- (Fig. 17-18) Release and remove the retaining plate.
The shaving heads remain in the shaving unit.
- (Fig. 19) Remove only one shaving head (guard
and cutter) at a time for cleaning to ensure that the
cutters and guards do not become mixed.
Each cutter has been ground together with the
guard. If the guards and cutters are mixed, it may
take some weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
- (Fig. 21) Clean the cutter by brushing only in the
direction of the arrow using the short bristled brush.
