English
- Never use compressed air,
scouring pads, abrasive

- 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.
- If your cleaning system uses a
cleaning cartridge, always make

- 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

an electric air freshener to
prevent irreparable damage to
the supply unit.

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
- Select your personal comfort settings (see ‘The
display’).
- To ensure the best result, we advise you to pretrim your beard if you have not shaved for 3
days or longer.

shaving results than straight movements.
