ENGLISH14

Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common
problems you could encounter with the appliance. If
you are unable to solve the problem with the
information below, contact the Consumer Care
Centre in your country.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The shaver does
not glide
smoothly over
my skin.
You have not
applied enough
shaving conditioner.
Press the shaving conditioner
button until a sufcient
amount of NIVEA FOR MEN
shaving conditioner has been
released.This makes the
shaving unit glide smoothly
over your skin again.
The shaver does
not shave as well
as it used to.
You have not
cleaned the shaver
properly.
Clean the shaver
thoroughly (see chapter
‘Cleaning’).
Long hairs obstruct
the shaving heads. Clean the shaving heads by following the steps of the
extra-thorough cleaning
method described below.
The shaving unit is
damaged or worn. Replace the shaving unit (see chapter ‘Replacement’).
The shaver does
not work when I
press the on/off
button.
The battery is
empty. Recharge the battery (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’).
Dried shaving
conditioner blocks
the shaving heads in
the shaving unit.
Clean the shaver thoroughly
before you continue shaving
(see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
ENGLISH 15

Problem Possible cause Solution
You have not
reassembled
the shaving unit
properly after
extra-thorough
cleaning.
When you reassemble the
shaving unit, make sure you
turn each guard anticlockwise
until it locks into position.
Why does
little shaving
conditioner
come out of
the holes even
though there
is enough
conditioner in
the cartridge?
One of the
conditioner
holes may be
blocked.
Rinse or soak the shaving
unit. If this does not work,
pump shaving conditioner
into the shaving conditioner
cartridge until conditioner
starts to come out of the
blocked hole. If this does not
work either, try the following
method: 1) Switch off the
shaver 2) Pull the shaving unit
off the shaver 3) Put your
nger on the hole that is not
blocked 4) Switch on the
shaver 5) Press the shaving
conditioner button several
seconds until conditioner
starts to come out of the
blocked hole again.
ENGLISH16

Problem Possible cause Solution
You may not have
put the shaving
heads back into
their original
holders. One of the
shaving heads does
not have a shaving
conditioner hole in
its centre and needs
to be placed in a
specic holder.
Make sure you put the
shaving head without
conditioner hole in the
correct holder.This is the
holder that is closest to the
on/off button when the
shaving unit is assembled on
the shaver.
Why doesn’t
any shaving
conditioner
come out of the
holes when I
press the shaving
conditioner
button?
The shaving
cartridge is almost
empty.
Rell the shaving conditioner
cartridge (see chapter
‘Preparing for use’).
ENGLISH 17

Problem Possible cause Solution
I dropped the
shaver and the
shaving unit fell
apart.
Reassemble the
shaving unit. Place the cutters in the shaving head holders with the
cutter legs pointing upwards.
Place the guards onto the
holders (over the cutters)
and turn them anticlockwise
until they lock into position.
One of the guards does not
have a shaving conditioner
hole in the centre and
needs to be attached onto
a specic holder. This is the
holder that is closest to the
on/off button when the
shaving unit is assembled on
the shaver. If the cutters and
the guards have become
mixed up, it may take several
weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
ENGLISH18

Problem Possible cause Solution
Why does the
shaver suddenly
produce a
strange noise?
You probably did
not reassemble
the shaving unit
properly.
Place the cutters in the
shaving head holders with the
cutter legs pointing upwards.
Place the guards onto the
holders (over the cutters)
and turn them anticlockwise
until they lock into position.
One of the guards does not
have a shaving conditioner
hole in the centre and
needs to be attached onto
a specic holder. This is the
holder that is closest to the
on/off button when the
shaving unit is assembled on
the shaver. If the cutters and
the guards have become
mixed up, it may take several
weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
Extra-thorough cleaning method
Make sure the appliance is switched off.
1 Pull the shaving unit off the shaver.
2 Turn the guard clockwise and lift it from the
shaving unit.
Note: Only remove one shaving head at a time.This
ensures that you always put the shaving head back
into its original holder, which is necessary because two
ENGLISH 19

of the shaving heads have special holes for the shaving
conditioner.This also ensures that you do not mix up
the cutters and guards of different shaving heads,
which affects the shaving performance.
3 If necessary, remove the cutter from the guard.
4 Clean the cutter and guard with the brush
supplied.
5 After cleaning, place the cutter back
into the shaving unit with the cutter legs
pointing upwards.
6 Place the guard back onto the shaving head
holder (over the cutter).
7 Turn the guard anticlockwise until it locks into
position.
8 Put the shaving unit back onto the shaver
(‘click’).
