1. Can I rinse my Philips Groomer with water?
You can rinse your Philips Groomer or Trimmer only if it is waterproof. You can check that by looking
at the signs and symbols printed on your groomer's box or body.
Crossed out tap symbol
If you see a crossed out tap symbol on the box or body of your groomer, it means that the groomer is
not washable and should be cleaned without water.
Tap symbol
A tap symbol printed on your grooming device indicates that it is washable and its parts (cutters and
combs) can be cleaned with water. However, this does not mean that you can use it to clip or trim
your hair in the shower or bath.
Bath or shower symbol
If you see a shower or bath symbol printed on your groomer, it means that your device is waterproof.
It can be safely cleaned with water and used while taking a shower or a bath. For safety reasons,
these waterproof groomers can only be used cordless and will not turn on if they are connected to
the power supply.
Note: Please keep in mind that the symbols on your Philips Groomer vary per model type. If you are
still unsure whether it is safe to clean your Philips Groomer with water then please contact us for
further support.

2. Where is the model and serial number of my Philips Male Groomer?
If you own a Philips Trimmer or Hair Clipper and want to know where its model and serial number is
located, please check the information below.
The model number is often needed when registering your product or when looking for information
about your specific model. The serial number can be used to identify the production date of your
product.
Back of the device
For some grooming devices like the OneBlade, the model and serial numbers are located on the back
of the handle. The model number usually starts with 2 alphabets followed by 4 digits, e.g. QP2540.
The serial number has the format of YYWW (Year and week).
Top of the device
Some hair clippers and beard trimmers have the model number located on the top of the device, just
below the cutting teeth. The serial number is usually located under the cutting unit. Try pulling off
the upper part of your groomer and see if you can find 4 digits in the format of YYWW in there, e.g.
1823.
Inside the handle

For nose trimmers the model and serial number is located inside the battery compartment. Remove
the lower part of the handle of your trimmer to see the battery compartment. The model and serial
number will be printed over there.
3. What do the symbols on my Philips Groomer mean?
If you are wondering, what do the lights and symbols on your Philips Male Grooming device mean,
then please read our answer below.
Charging indications
Most Philips Hair Clippers and Trimmers have charging indications and lights on them to indicate
when your device needs to be charged and is fully charged. Depending on the device you own the
charging indications may be displayed in many different ways, as shown in the image below.
Some grooming devices do not have any charging indication on them. In that case, check the
product's charger to see if has a light on it. This light lights up when the charger is connected to the
power supply. For these products, follow the advised charging time as instructed in the user manual.
Travel lock
Some grooming devices come with a travel lock functionality to prevent your groomer from turning
on by accident while travelling.
To activate the travel lock press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds. The lock symbol will flash
briefly to indicate that the device is locked now. If you try to switch it on it will not work, rather the
travel lock symbol will flash to remind you to deactivate it.
To deactivate the travel lock you can again press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The
symbol will again flash briefly and then the groomer will turn on.

Turbo mode
Some Philips Hair Clippers and Multigroomers are equipped with a Turbo Mode. This is usually
indicated with a T shaped symbol on the clipper. Press this button when you need extra power from
your clipper. This can be useful when you are trimming very thick hair.
Quiet mode
Some Philips Hair Clippers have the symbol of a baby printed on them. This is the quiet mode, which
you can use while trimming your child’s hair. This reduces the noise coming from the machine and
helps keep children calm while clipping their hair.
Oil reminder
If you see the image of an oil drop flashing on your grooming device, this is a reminder for you to oil
your groomer. You should regularly clean and oil your groomers with the oil provided in the package
or sewing machine oil.
Depending on the grooming device you own, you may find other symbols printed or flashing on it.
For more information regarding your exact model please refer to the user manual or contact us.
