5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Shaving
The Philips Shaver i9000 Prestige can be used for both wet and dry shaving, including in the shower. For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean.
- Dry Shaving: For a quick shave, use on dry skin.
- Wet Shaving: For a more comfortable shave, use with shaving foam or gel.
Turn on the shaver. Move the shaver in small, circular motions over your skin. The Triple Action Lift & Cut system is designed to cut hair up to 0.00mm, providing a close shave.

5.2 SkinIQ Technology
The integrated SkinIQ Technology, powered by AI, provides intelligent skin comfort. The Pressure Guard system reads the pressure you apply during shaving and provides real-time feedback through lights on the shaver, guiding you to use optimal pressure for a comfortable shave.
The Hydro SkinGlide Coating ensures 50% smoother gliding on the skin, reducing friction and enhancing comfort.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your shaver.
6.1 Quick Clean Pod
The Quick Clean Pod provides a powerful and hygienic cleaning solution for your shaver in just 1 minute. It is 10 times more effective than cleaning with water alone.
- Place the shaver head-down into the Quick Clean Pod.
- The pod will clean, lubricate, and refresh your shaver.
- Use the Quick Clean Pod regularly for best results.

For manual cleaning, rinse the shaving head under warm running water after each use. For a more thorough clean, remove the shaving head and rinse the individual cutters and comb under water. Allow all parts to air dry before reassembling.
