water before following the steps below.

in different directions. Make sure each shaving
head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert
gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.

skin irritation.
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse
the shaving unit regularly during your shave to

that your skin and beard need time to adjust
to a new grooming system.
15
English
-
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.

reminder flashes to remind you to clean the
