Charge Meter

◗ Charge Meter monitors amount of remaining

battery power (Models 1060X and 1059X)
and actual shaving minutes (Model 1090X)
available. ‘Minutes Left’ or remaining
battery capacity is based on the amount of
power consumed shaving per minute and is
dependent upon your skin and beard type,
whether you use pre-shave lotion, and how
often the trimmer is used.

◗ Initially your razor may need to go through

2 or 3 full charge/recharge cycles before
‘Minutes Left’ (Model 1090X) or remaining
battery capacity indicators (Models 1060X
and 1059X) begins to display your accurate
shaving minutes left.

Before First Use

the razor.

◗ The power plug transforms 100-240V AC to

less than 24V DC.

◗ Do not attempt to disassemble the Razor

Head Assembly to individually clean each
cutter and comb. The individual shaving heads
are not removable.

Travel Lock

going to store the razor for a longer period or if
you are going to take the razor with you when
traveling. See ‘Travel Lock’ section for instructions

40ºF or higher than 95ºF adversely affects

Put It To The Test & Shaving Tips

◗ 21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact

that your skin and beard need time to adjust to
a new shaving system.

◗ Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to

fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco
shave.

◗ At first you may not get as close a shave as you

expect, or your face may even become slightly

irritated. This is normal since your beard and

skin will need time to adjust. Invest 3 weeks and

you’ll soon experience the full joy of your new
razor.

◗ Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods

during the adjustment period, it may make it
more difficult to adapt to the Philips Norelco
shaving system.

◗ If you are still not convinced after 21 days,

Philips Norelco will refund you the full
purchase price as long as the request is
received within 45 days of purchase.

How To Shave With Razor

◗ Use this razor for its intended household use

as described in this manual.

◗ Shaving with a clean, dry face gives the best

results.

C 1 Turn razor ON by pressing the on/off

button once. Shave against the direction
of beard growth using both straight and
circular movements.

2 Stretch your skin with your free hand so

blades can lift and cut whiskers. Gently
press razor to skin so the floating heads
can follow the contours of your face.
DO NOT press too hard. Too much
pressure can pinch the skin into the combs.
