Problem Possible cause Solution
The shaver does
not shave as well
as it used to.
The shaving heads are damaged
or worn.

heads.
Clean the shaving heads one by one (see
section ‘Cleaning the shaving unit under the tap’

heads t exactly into the recesses (see section

dropped sufciently, you can switch on the
shaver again.
ENGLISH 19

Problem Possible cause Solution
The shaver is
not entirely clean
after I clean it in
the SmartClean
system.
You have not placed the
shaver in the SmartClean
system properly, so there is no
electrical connection between
the SmartClean system and the
shaver.
Press down the top cap (‘click’) to ensure a
proper connection between the shaver and
the SmartClean system.
The cleaning cartridge needs
replacement.
Replace the cleaning cartridge (see chapter

to indicate you have to replace
the cleaning cartridge.
Place a new cleaning cartridge in the
SmartClean system (see chapter ‘Cleaning and

uid than the original Philips
cleaning cartridge.
Only use the Philips cleaning cartridge.
The drain of the cleaning
cartridge might be blocked.
Push the hairs down the drain with a toothpick.
The SmartClean
System does not
work when I press
the on/off button.
The SmartClean System is not
connected to the mains.
Put the small plug in the SmartClean System
and put the adapter in the wall socket.
Water leaks from
the shaver after
cleaning.
This is normal and not
dangerous.
During rinsing some water may collect
between the power unit and the housing. After
rinsing this water ows out through the socket.
The power unit is completely watertight so
water cannot reach the electronic parts of the
shaver.Your shaver continues to be absolutely
safe.
