Setup and Installation

To replace the shaving foil head (Model BG2010/40) on your Philips Norelco Body Groomer (compatible with BG5XXX, BG7XXX, and BG9XXX series):

  1. Remove the old head: Gently pull the existing shaving foil head upwards from the body groomer handle until it detaches.
  2. Unpack the new head: Carefully remove the new replacement foil head from its packaging. Avoid touching the foil surface directly to maintain hygiene and sharpness.
  3. Attach the new head: Align the new shaving foil head with the body groomer handle. Press it down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is securely in place.
  4. Verify installation: Ensure the head is stable and does not wobble. The device is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer with the replacement foil head can be used for both wet and dry shaving. For best results, consider the following:

  • Dry Shaving: For longer hair, it is recommended to shave dry before showering. This helps to efficiently cut longer hairs.
  • Wet Shaving: The device is 100% showerproof. You can use it in the shower with or without shaving gel/foam for a comfortable experience.
  • Skin Tension: For a closer shave, gently stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.
  • Shaving Direction: Move the shaver slowly against the direction of hair growth. The Triple Protect shave system is designed to be gentle on the skin.
  • Sensitive Areas: Exercise extra caution in sensitive areas. The hypoallergenic foil and protective skin guard are designed to minimize irritation.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Philips Norelco Body Groomer replacement foil head:

  • Regular Cleaning: After each use, rinse the shaving foil head under running water. Ensure all hair clippings and residue are removed.
  • Drying: Allow the shaving foil head to air dry completely before reattaching it to the body groomer or storing it.
  • Replacement Schedule: For best results and to maintain skin comfort, replace the full body shaving foil head every 12 months.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Philips Norelco Body Groomer replacement foil head, consider the following:

  • Poor Shaving Performance: If the shave is not as close or smooth as expected, the foil head may be dull or damaged. Replace the foil head if it has been in use for more than 12 months or shows visible wear.
  • Skin Irritation: Ensure the foil head is clean and free from debris. If irritation persists, ensure you are not applying excessive pressure and are shaving against the grain appropriately. If the foil is damaged, replace it immediately.
  • Difficulty Attaching/Detaching: Ensure the head is correctly aligned with the body groomer handle. Apply firm, even pressure until it clicks into place. If it's stuck, check for any obstructions.
