21-Day adaptation process
-
21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact that your skin
and beard need time to adjust to a new grooming 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.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the product and the attachments after each use for
optimal performance.
Cleaning the shaver under the tap
Clean the shaver after every shave for optimal performance.
Always check if the water is too hot, to prevent burning your
hands.
Never dry the shaving unit with a towel or tissue, as this may
damage the shaving heads (Fig. 14).
While rinsing shaving heads, water may drip out of the base of
shaver. This is a normal occurrence.
1 Switch on the product.
2 Rinse the shaving unit under a warm tap (Fig. 15).
3 Switch off the product. Press the release button to open the
shaving unit (Fig. 16).
4 Rinse the shaving head holder under the tap (Fig. 17).
5 Carefully shake off excess water and let the shaving head
holder air-dry completely.

Thorough cleaning
We advise you to clean the shaving heads thoroughly once a
month or when the shaver does not shave as well as it used to.
1 Switch off the product.
2 Press the release button on the shaving unit (Fig. 16) and pull
the shaving head holder off the shaving unit (Fig. 19).

(Fig. 20).
4 Remove the shaving heads from the shaving head holder.
Each shaving head consists of a cutter and guard (Fig. 21).
Note: Do not clean more than one cutter and guard at a time,
since they are all matching sets. If you accidentally put a cutter
in the wrong shaving guard, it may take several weeks before
optimal shaving performance is restored.
5 Clean the cutter and guard under the tap (Fig. 22).
6 Put the cutter back into the guard (Fig. 23).
7 Place the shaving heads in the shaving head holder (Fig. 24).
Note: Make sure that the projections of the shaving heads fit
exactly into the recesses of the shaving head holder.
8 Place the retaining rings back onto the shaving head holder
(Fig. 25) and turn them clockwise ('click') (Fig. 26).
-
Each retaining ring has two recesses and two projections that
fit exactly in the projections and recesses of the shaving head
holder.

shaving unit (Fig. 27). Close the shaving unit (Fig. 18).
