General

• This appliance is waterproof. It is suitable for use in the bath or shower and for cleaning under the tap. For safety reasons, the appliance can therefore only be used without cord.

• The supply unit transforms 100240 volts to a safe low voltage of less than 24 volts.

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.
Charging takes approx. 1 hour. When the appliance is fully charged, it has a cordless operating time of up to 40 minutes.

Charging with the supply unit

1. Put the small plug in the appliance (Fig. 2).
   
2. Put the supply unit in the wall socket.
3. After charging, remove the supply unit from the wall socket and pull the small plug out of the appliance.

Quick charge

When you start charging the empty battery, the charging light flashes quickly. After approx. 5 minutes the charging light flashes slowly. The shaver now contains enough energy for one shave.

Charging light

Battery fully charged

When the battery is fully charged, the charging light lights up continuously (Fig. 3).

Note: After approx. 30 minutes, the charging light goes out to save energy.

Battery low

• When the battery is almost empty (when there are only a few shaving minutes left), the charging light flashes (Fig. 4).
  
• When you switch off the appliance, the charging light continues flashing for a few seconds.

Charging

The charging light flashes to indicate that the appliance is charging (Fig. 4).

Using the appliance

Shaving tips and tricks

• Make circular movements during use. Circular movements provide better shaving results than straight movements.
• Your skin may need 2 or 3 weeks to get accustomed to the Philips shaving system.

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. Switch on the appliance.
2. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular (Fig. 6)
   
   movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions (Fig. 7).
   
3. 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.
4. Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.

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. Switch on the appliance.
5. 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.

6. Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.
7. Dry your face.

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

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the shaver

• Clean the shaver after every use for optimal performance (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').

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. Switch off the appliance and make sure it is disconnected from the wall socket.
2. Press the release button to open the shaving unit (Fig. 12).
   
3. Rinse the shaving unit and hair chamber with lukewarm water.
4. 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).
   
5. Carefully shake off excess water and let air dry completely.
6. Close the shaving unit.

Thorough cleaning

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

1. Switch off the appliance and make sure it is disconnected from the wall socket.
2. Press the release button to open the shaving unit (Fig. 12). Pull the shaving unit off the appliance (Fig. 15).
   
3. Turn the lock anticlockwise (1) and remove the retaining frame (Fig. 16) (2).
   
4. 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.
5. Remove the cutter from the shaving guard and clean both parts under the tap (Fig. 18).
   
6. Put the cutter back into the guard (Fig. 19).
   
7. Put the shaving heads back into the shaving unit (Fig. 20).
   
8. Put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (1) and turn the lock clockwise (Fig. 21) (2).
   
9. 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. Switch off the appliance and make sure it is disconnected from the wall socket.
2. Press the shaving unit release button to open the shaving unit. Pull the shaving unit off the appliance (Fig. 15).
3. Turn the lock anticlockwise (1) and remove the retaining frame (Fig. 16) (2). Place it aside in a safe place.
4. 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).
   
5. 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.
6. Put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (1) and turn the lock clockwise (Fig. 21) (2).
7. 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.
