Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the shaver under the tap
Clean the shaver after every shave for optimal performance. For the
best cleaning results, we advise you to use Philips Cleaning spray
(HQ110). Always unplug and switch o the shaver before you clean it.
Note: Water may leak from the socket at the bottom of the shaver
when you rinse it. This is normal and not dangerous because all
electronics are enclosed in a sealed power unit inside the shaver.
Caution: Be careful with hot water. Always check if the water is not
too hot, to prevent burning your hands.
Caution: Never dry the shaving unit with a towel or tissue, as this
may damage the shaving heads.
1 Place you thumb under the shaving unit and push the shaving unit
o the shaver (Fig. 12).
Note: Make sure to hold the shaving unit while doing so.
2 Rinse the hair chamber under the tap (Fig. 13).

Thorough cleaning

from the shaving unit (Fig. 16).
6 Remove and clean one shaving head at a time (Fig. 17). Each
shaving head consists of a cutter and a guard.
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.
7 Remove the cutter from the shaving guard and rinse it with water
(Fig. 18).
8 Rinse the inside and outside of the shaving guard with water (Fig. 19).
