Caution
- Never immerse the cleaning system or the

under the tap.
- Never use water hotter than 60°C to rinse the
shaver.
- Only use this appliance for its intended purpose
as shown in the user manual.
- For hygienic reasons, the appliance should only
be used by one person.
- Never use compressed air, scouring pads,

- If your shaver comes with a cleaning system,
always use the original Philips cleaning fluid
(cartridge or bottle, depending on the type of
cleaning system).
- Always place the cleaning system on a stable,
level and horizontal surface to prevent leakage.
- If your cleaning system uses a cleaning
cartridge, always make sure the cartridge
compartment is closed before you use the

- When the cleaning system is ready for use, do
not move it to prevent leakage of cleaning fluid.
- Water may drip from the socket at the bottom
of the shaver when you rinse it. This is normal

Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated. This is normal. Your skin and beard need
time to adapt to any new shaving system. To allow
your skin to adapt to this new appliance, we advise
you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) and
exclusively with this appliance for a period of 3
weeks.
Shaving tips
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim
your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or
longer.
Guard mode
- Activate the guard mode to reduce the rotation
speed of the shaver (see 'Shaving with guard
mode').

skin irritation.
