carefully before using the appliance
and save them for future reference.
◗ Keep the appliance and the
mains cord dry (fig. 1).

avoid a hazard.
◗ Store and use the appliance at a
temperature between 5cC and
35cC.
Inserting batteries
.
The appliance runs on two R6 AA
1.5-volt batteries. Preferably use
Philips alkaline batteries.
Make sure that your hands are dry
when inserting the batteries.
1 Remove the lid of the battery
compartment (fig. 2).
2 Place two batteries in the
battery compartment (fig. 3).
Make sure the + and - indications on
the batteries match the indications in
the battery compartment.
The shaver does not work if the
batteries have been placed
incorrectly.
3 Put the lid of the battery
compartment back onto the
appliance. First insert the top
part of the lid (1) and then press
the bottom part down until you
hear a click (2) (fig. 4).
◗ To avoid damage due to battery
leakage:
- do not expose the appliance to
temperatures higher than 35cC;
- remove the batteries if the
appliance is not going to be used
for a month or more;
- do not leave empty batteries in
the appliance.
Cordless shaving time

shaving time of 60 minutes.
Mains operation
You can also shave without batteries
by connecting the shaver to the
mains.

shaver (fig. 5).
2 Put the mains plug in the wall
socket.
Using the appliance
.
Shaving
1 Switch the appliance on by
pressing the switch lock and
pushing the on/off slide upwards
(fig. 6).
The switch lock prevents accidental
switching on of the appliance.
2 Move the shaving heads quickly
over your skin, making both
straight and circular movements
(fig. 7).
Shaving on a dry face gives the best
results.
Your skin may need 2 or 3 weeks to
get accustomed to the Philips shaving
system.
1 Switch the shaver off by pushing
the on/off slide downwards.
2 Put the protection cap on the
shaver every time you have
used it, to prevent damage (fig.
8).
Cleaning and maintenance
.
Regular cleaning guarantees better
shaving performance.
Every week: shaving unit
and hair chamber
1 Switch the shaver off, remove
the mains plug from the wall
socket and pull the appliance
plug out of the shaver.
2 Clean the top of the appliance
first, using the brush supplied
(fig. 9).
3 Press the release button (1) and
remove the shaving unit (2)
(fig. 10).
4 Clean the inside of the shaving
unit and the hair chamber with
the brush (fig. 11).

Every two months: shaving
heads

socket and pull the appliance
plug out of the shaver.
2 Press the release button (1) and
remove the shaving unit (2)

(fig. 12).
4 Slide the shaving heads out of

them one by one (fig. 13).
Do not mix up the cutters and the
guards.
This is essential since each cutter has
been ground with its corresponding
guard for optimal performance. If you
accidentally mix the sets up, it could
take several weeks before optimal
shaving performance is restored.
5 Clean the cutter with the
short-bristled side of the brush
(fig. 14).
Brush carefully in the direction of the
arrow.
6 Brush the guard (fig. 15).
7 Slide the shaving heads back into
the retaining frame and put the
retaining frame back into the
shaving unit (fig. 16).
8 Put the shaving unit back onto
the shaver.
◗ For extra thorough cleaning,
clean the shaving heads by
putting them in a degreasing
liquid (e.g. alcohol) every six
months. To remove the shaving
heads, follow steps 1 to 4
described above. After cleaning,
lubricate the central point on
the inside of the guards with a
drop of sewing machine oil to
prevent wear of the shaving
heads (fig. 17).
Storage
