- 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).

Skin adaptation period

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.
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim
your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or
longer.
