Operating Instructions
Shaving Your Face
The Philips Series 3000 shaver is designed for both wet and dry shaving, offering flexibility and comfort.
- Dry Shaving: For a quick and convenient shave, simply switch on the shaver and move it in circular motions over your face.
- Wet Shaving: For a refreshing shave, you can use the shaver with shaving foam or gel, or even under the shower. Apply foam or gel to your skin and then shave in circular motions.
The shaver features SkinProtect technology and 5D Pivot & Flex heads that follow the contours of your face, ensuring a comfortable and precise shave while protecting your skin from nicks and cuts. The PowerCut blades are self-sharpening and cut hair just above the skin's surface for a smooth finish.

Troubleshooting
