3 | Cleaning and maintenance |
If you were charging the appliance, pull the Powerplug out of the wall socket and remove the appliance plug from the shaver .
Clean the shaving unit with very hot water after every shave.
The shaver is fully water resistant and therefore allows easy and quick cleaning.
Important: the Powerplug is not waterproof. Prevent it from getting wet and do not immerse it in water!
Shaving unit
■Press the release button and flip the shaving unit open. If the shaving unit comes detached from the appliance, reattach it by holding it at right angles to the top of the shaver and then reinsert the two projections into the guiding slots.
■ Clean the inside of the shaver by rinsing it under a hot tap for some time.
■ Rinse the outside of the appliance.
Important: make sure the inside of the shaving unit is really clean.
Close the shaving unit again. Shake off excess water.
Trimmer
Clean the outside of the trimmer with a brush every time you use it. Lubricate the trimmer teeth with a drop of sewing machine oil every six months.
■Flip the trimmer open to clean it on the inside.
Storage
The pouch has been designed to hold the appliance, its dust cover, two spare cartridges and the Powerplug. The pouch is washable; wash it separately (see washing instructions on the inside of the pouch).
Disposing of the battery
When you discard your shaver in due course, please make sure that the battery is not thrown away with the normal household waste. Remove the battery from the shaver and hand it in at an official collection point.
Tip: you may also take or send your Philishave Cool Skin shaver to a Philips Service Centre. There, the battery will be removed and disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
Removing the battery
Before you remove the battery, it must be fully discharged. Let the shaver run until it stops.
■Remove the screws.
■Open the shaver.
■Remove the battery.
Troubleshooting
Shaving heads do not move smoothly over the skin
Cause: not enough Nivea for Men shaving emulsion has been applied.
■Press the pump button a few times until a sufficient amount of Nivea for Men shaving emulsion has been released to allow the shaving heads to move smoothly over your skin again.
Reduced shaving performance
Cause 1: the shaving heads are dirty
■The shaver has not been cleaned immediately after use and/or has not been rinsed long enough or hot enough. Clean the shaver thoroughly before you continue shaving (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
Cause 2: long hairs are obstructing the shaving heads
– Clean the cutters and guards
■Remove the retaining plate. Do not clean more than one cutter and guard at a time, since they are all matching sets. If you accidentally mix up the cutters and the guards, it may take several weeks before optimal shaving performance is restored.
■Remove the hairs with the brush supplied.
Cause 3: shaving heads are damaged or worn
– Replace the shaving heads
■Remove the retaining plate. Remove the old shaving heads from the shaving unit and replace them with new ones. Damaged or worn shaving heads (cutters and guards) must only be replaced by the original Philishave Cool Skin shaving heads (HQ 156)!
■Put the retaining plate back onto the shaving unit.
Cover of cartridge compartment cannot be closed
Cause 1: the cartridge has not been inserted correctly
■Insert the cartridge correctly. The cartridge only fits properly into the shaver in one way.
Cause 2: The cartridge has not been pushed far enough into the shaver.
■Press the cartridge until it is properly fixed.
Shaver does not work when the ON/OFF button is pressed
Cause 1: the battery is empty
■Recharge the battery.
Cause 2: the appliance is connected to the mains.
■Remove the Powerplug from the wall socket and pull the appliance plug out of the shaver.
The Nivea for Men shaving emulsion has lost its colour or has turned watery.
Cause: the Nivea for Men shaving emulsion has not been preserved at the right temperature.
