the shaver.

4

Put the protection cap on the shaver after

use to prevent damage to the shaving

heads (Fig. 7).

or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to

clean the appliance.
Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving

performance.

Cleaning Spray (type no. HQ110) is available. Ask

your Philips dealer for information.

months. To remove the shaving heads, follow steps

the central point on the inside of the guards with a

drop of sewing machine oil to prevent wear of the
