After each shave, rinse the shaver head under warm running water. For a more thorough clean, detach the shaving head and rinse both the head and the shaver body.

4.2 Quick Cleaning Pod

For a deeper and more hygienic clean, use the Quick Cleaning Pod. Place the shaver head into the pod, which uses a specialized cleaning solution to remove hair and debris, providing a clean 10 times more effective than water in just 1 minute.

4.3 UV Charging Case

The UV charging case not only charges your shaver but also kills 99.9% of bacteria on the shaver surface within 10 minutes, ensuring optimal hygiene. Regular use of the UV case helps maintain the shaver's cleanliness and performance.

The NanoTech Precision Blades are designed for a lifetime of up to 2 years. For continued optimal shaving performance, replace the shaving heads every two years. Replacement heads can be purchased from authorized Philips retailers.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Shaver not turning on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. If the battery is depleted, charge it for at least 5 minutes for a quick shave or 1 hour for a full charge.
• Poor shaving performance: Clean the shaver heads thoroughly. If performance does not improve, the shaving heads may need replacement (recommended every two years).
