The shaver is equipped with independently floating heads that adapt to the contours of your face for an effortless and close shave. For best results:

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
The Philips PQ206 shaver is not waterproof and cannot be washed under running water or used wet. To clean the shaver:
- Turn off the shaver.
- Gently remove the shaver head.
- Use the provided small cleaning brush to remove any trapped hair from the shaver heads and the internal compartment.
- Reattach the shaver head.
4.2 Blade Care
The shaver features self-sharpening blades designed to last for up to two years, providing consistent performance over time.
5. Troubleshooting
- Shaver not turning on: Ensure both AA batteries are installed correctly according to the polarity markings. Incorrect installation will prevent the shaver from operating.
- Poor shaving performance: Clean the shaver heads thoroughly to remove any accumulated hair or debris. Ensure the blades are not worn out (though they are self-sharpening, extreme wear over time may affect performance).
