General

Charging

Charge the appliance at least 3 hours before first use to achieve the best battery performance.
When you charge the appliance for the first time or after a long period of disuse, let it get fully charged.

Using the appliance

Shaving tips and tricks

Switching the appliance on and off

To switch the appliance on or off, press the on/off button once (Fig.5).

Shaving

Dry shaving

1. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular (Fig. 6)
   
   movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions (Fig. 7).
   
2. Stretch your skin with your free hand so the blades can lift and cut hair. Gently press the shaver onto you skin so the floating heads can follow the contours of your face.
   Note: Do not press too hard as too much pressure can cause shaving heads to pinch the skin.

Wet shaving

For a more comfortable shave, you can also use this appliance on a wet face with shaving foam or shaving gel.

1. Apply some water to your skin (Fig. 8).
   
2. Apply shaving foam or gel to your skin (Fig. 9).
   
3. Rinse the shaving unit under the tap to ensure that it glides smoothly over your skin (Fig. 10).
   
4. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions (Fig. 11).
   
   Make sure each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.

Note: Do not press too hard, this can cause skin irritation.
Note: Rinse the shaving unit regularly to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.

Note: Make sure that you rinse all foam or shaving gel off the appliance with warm water.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the shaver

While rinsing shaving heads, water may drip out of the base of shaver. This is a normal occurrence. Internal electric parts are in a waterproof compartment so the shaver will be protected against water damage.

1. Press the release button to open the shaving unit (Fig. 12).
   
2. Rinse the outside of the shaving unit with lukewarm water (Fig. 13).
   
   
   Never dry the shaving unit with a towel or tissue, as this may damage the shaving heads (Fig. 14).
   

Thorough cleaning

Clean the shaving heads thoroughly once a month for optimal performance.

1. Press the release button to open the shaving unit (Fig. 12). Pull the shaving unit off the appliance (Fig. 15).
   
2. Turn the lock anticlockwise (1) and remove the retaining frame (Fig. 16) (2).
   
3. Remove and clean one shaving head at a time. Each shaving head consists of a cutter and a guard (Fig. 17).
   
   Note: Do not clean more than one cutter and guard at a time, since they are all matching sets. If you accidentally mix up the cutters and guards, it may take several weeks before optimal shaving performance is restored.
4. Remove the cutter from the shaving guard and clean both parts under the tap (Fig. 18).
   
5. Put the cutter back into the guard (Fig. 19).
   
6. Put the shaving heads back into the shaving unit (Fig. 20).
   
7. Put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (1) and turn the lock clockwise (Fig. 21) (2).
   
8. Insert the lug of the shaving unit into the slot in the top of the appliance. Then close the shaving unit (Fig. 23) ('click').
   

Note: If the shaving unit does not close smoothly, check if you have inserted the shaving heads properly and if the retaining frame is locked.

Replacement

Replacing the shaving heads

For maximum shaving performance, we advise you to replace the shaving heads every two years (Fig. 22).


Replace damaged shaving heads immediately. Always replace the shaving heads with original Philips shaving heads (see 'Ordering accessories').

1. Press the shaving unit release button to open the shaving unit. Pull the shaving unit off the appliance (Fig. 15).
2. Turn the lock anticlockwise (1) and remove the retaining frame (Fig. 16) (2). Place it aside in a safe place.
3. Remove the shaving heads from the shaving unit.
   Discard the used shaving heads immediately to avoid mixing them with the new shaving heads (Fig. 24).
   
4. Place new shaving heads in the shaving unit.
   Note: Make sure that the shaving heads with the projections fit exactly onto the hooks of the shaving head holder when placing them. The shaving heads supplied with the shaver either have notches or projections. Both shaving systems are the same.
5. Put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (1) and turn the lock clockwise (Fig. 21) (2).
6. Insert the hinge of the shaving unit into the slot in the top of the shaver. Then close the shaving unit (Fig. 23).

Note: If the shaving unit does not close smoothly, check if you have inserted the shaving heads properly and if the retaining frame is locked.
