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 shaver 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

shaver.
◗ 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 An Electric Shaver

C ◗ This symbol indicates that the shaver can be

rinsed under running tap water.
◗ For hygienic reasons, the shaver should only

be used by one person.
◗ Use this shaver for its intended household use

◗ Shaving with a clean face gives the best

results.

C 1 Connect power cord to shaver.

2 Plug into any 120V to 240V AC electrical

outlet. Use only the power cord provided.

◗ An adapter plug may be necessary for

cord usage in some foreign countries. Use
an attachment plug adapter of the proper

Your new shaver will automatically convert
internally to work on 100V to 240V AC systems.

C 3 Turn shaver ON by pressing the on/off

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

4 Stretch your skin with your free hand so

blades can lift and cut whiskers. Gently

can follow the contours of your face.

pressure can pinch the skin into the combs.

button once.
