The cleaning cartridge also contains lubricants, which may leave residual marks on the outer foil frame after cleaning. However, these marks can be removed easily by wiping gently with a cloth or soft tissue paper.

Manual cleaning

The shaver head is suitable for cleaning under running tap water.

Warning: Detach the shaver from the power supply before cleaning the shaver head in water.

Rinsing the shaving head under running water is an alternative way to keep the shaver clean, especially when travelling:

•Switch the shaver on (cordless) w and rinse the shaving head under hot running water. You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.

•Next, switch off the shaver, press the release button 9 to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and let it dry.

•If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil on top of the Foil & Cutter cassette.

Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided:

•Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter cassette 8 and tap it out on a ﬂat surface. Using the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting head. However, do not clean the cassette with the brush as this may damage it.

Cleaning the housing

From time to time clean the housing of the shaver and the Clean&Renew station with a damp cloth, especially inside the cleaning chamber where the shaver rests.

Replacing the cleaning cartridge

After having pressed the lift button 2 to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge to avoid any dripping.

Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution.

SERIES 5 specifications

The Gillette SERIES 5 razor is a cutting-edge shaving tool designed to deliver an exceptional grooming experience. Combining technological innovation with ergonomic design, this razor stands out in the crowded market of shaving solutions. It aims to meet the diverse needs of users while ensuring a smooth and comfortable shave.

One of the standout features of the Gillette SERIES 5 is its five-blade technology. Utilizing five precision-engineered blades, the razor helps to reduce the number of strokes needed for a close shave, minimizing skin irritation. This blade arrangement allows for even distribution of pressure across the skin, resulting in a gentler experience. The ultra-thin blades are also designed to glide effortlessly over the skin, tackling both short and long hair with ease.

Additionally, the razor incorporates SkinGuard technology. This innovative feature enhances comfort by providing a protective barrier between the blades and the skin. It helps to reduce irritation and allows for a closer shave without compromising on the user’s skin health. The SkinGuard also has a unique positioning that allows it to prepare the hair for cutting, ensuring more effective results.

Another defining characteristic of the Gillette SERIES 5 is its ergonomic handle. Designed for optimal grip and control, the handle ensures a steady hand during shaving. The textured surface gives users confidence in movement, reducing the chances of slips and cuts. This thoughtful design makes the razor not only practical but also enjoyable to use.

The razor also features a precision trimmer on the back, perfect for shaping sideburns and navigating hard-to-reach areas. This versatility means users can achieve their desired look with one tool, further enhancing the overall value of the SERIES 5.

In terms of convenience, Gillette has crafted the SERIES 5 with a replaceable cartridge system. This allows users to easily switch out worn blades for a fresh shave without needing to replace the entire unit. Such sustainability is appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and underscores Gillette’s commitment to high-quality grooming solutions.

Overall, the Gillette SERIES 5 is a perfect blend of technology and user-centered design. Its advanced blade technology and ergonomic features work together to provide a close, comfortable shave that caters to the modern man's grooming needs. Whether you are looking for a precision tool for daily use or something to elevate your grooming routine, the SERIES 5 stands tall as a reliable choice.
