- 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).
- Always place the cleaning system on a stable, level and horizontal
surface to prevent leakage.

- When the cleaning system is ready for use, do not move it to
prevent leakage of cleaning fluid.
- Water may drip from the socket at the bottom of the shaver when
you rinse it. This is normal and not dangerous because all
electronics are enclosed in a sealed power unit inside the shaver.

Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you 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.
Shaving tips
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim your beard if you
have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
- Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.
Dry shaving
1 Switch on the appliance.
2 Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements to
catch all hairs growing in different directions (Fig. 19). Make sure
each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert gentle
pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
English
Note: Circular movements provide better shaving results than
straight movements.
3 Clean the appliance after use.
Wet shaving
For a more comfortable shave, you can also use this appliance on a
wet face with shaving foam or shaving gel.
To shave with shaving foam or shaving gel, follow the steps below:
1 Apply some water to your skin (Fig. 20).

3 Rinse the shaving unit under the tap to ensure that the shaving
unit glides smoothly over your skin (Fig. 22).
4 Switch on the appliance.

glide smoothly over your skin.

with hot water. Switch on
the appliance and rinse the

a glass with warm water for
a few minutes. Then switch
on the appliance and rinse
it under the tap.

SmartClean system
Problem

The SmartClean
system does not
work when I
press the on/off
button.
The shaver is not
entirely clean
after I clean it in
the SmartClean
system.
The SmartClean
system is not
connected to the
wall socket.
The cleaning
cartridge is empty.
The replacement
symbol flashes to
indicate that you
have to replace the
cleaning cartridge.
You have not
placed the shaver in
the SmartClean
system properly, so
there is no electrical
connection
between the
SmartClean system
and the shaver.
The battery of the
shaver is not
charged sufficiently.
The cleaning
cartridge needs to
be replaced.
Put the small plug in the

the supply unit in the wall
socket.
Place a new cleaning
cartridge in the SmartClean
system.
Press down the top cap

If the battery of the shaver
is not charged sufficiently,
the SmartClean system

switch on briefly during the
rinsing phase. Charge the
shaver for a short time
before you use the
SmartClean system to
clean your shaver.
Replace the cleaning

Problem
The shaver is not
fully charged
after I charge it
in the
SmartClean
system.
Possible causeSolution
You have used
another cleaning
fluid than the
original Philips
cleaning cartridge.
The drain of the
cleaning cartridge is
blocked.
You have not
placed the shaver in
the SmartClean
system properly, so
there is no electrical
connection
between the
SmartClean system
and the shaver.
Only use the original
Philips cleaning cartridge.
Remove the cartridge from
the SmartClean system and
push the hairs down the
drain with a toothpick.
Press down the top cap
(‘click’) to ensure a proper
connection between the
shaver and the SmartClean
system.
