Product Usage Instructions
Leaking Water
If you notice water leaking from your Philips Shaver, there is no need to
worry. The inner body of the shaver is completely waterproof, so the water
cannot reach the machinery of the shaver. To avoid this issue, always shake
off your shaver after washing it and let it completely air dry before use.
Loud Noise
If your shaver is making a strange or loud noise, it is likely not assembled
correctly. We advise you to reassemble your shaver following the instructions
in the user manual to eliminate any rattling noise.
Not Turning On
If your Philips Shaver is not working or turning on, consider the following
possibilities:
- Not Charged (Rechargeable Shavers): Ensure that the battery is not depleted. Charge your shaver following the instructions in the user manual.
- Not Plugged In (Non-Rechargeable Shavers): Make sure your shaver is plugged into a working electric socket while in use.
- Not Assembled Correctly: Check if your shaver is assembled correctly by referring to the user manual for detailed instructions.
- Travel Lock Activated: Some shavers have a travel lock function. If activated, the shaver will not turn on. To deactivate the travel lock, press the on/off button for three to five seconds.

shaver is completely waterproof. This means that the water cannot reach the
machinery of your shaver. You can continue to use your shaver without any
trouble. To avoid this issue, always shake off your shaver after washing it

Apply the right movements while shaving
When you shave with your Philips Shaver, you will achieve optimal results if
you make slow, circular movements with the shaver over the face. The latest
models of S7000 and S9000 will help you to achieve the perfect circular
movements thanks to their motion-sensor control. Allow your skin an adjustment
period If you are a new user of the Philips Shaver, keep in mind that your
skin needs to adapt to the electric razor. This means that your skin may feel
slightly irritated in the beginning. Allow yourself an adjustment period of
two to three weeks with your new Philips Shaver. You can also use a gentle
moisturiser or aftershave lotion to minimise skin irritation after shaving.
Pre-trim your long facial hair
Shaving long hair can be uncomfortable and may lead to skin irritation. If you have not shaved for a couple of days and have a heavy beard, it is a good idea to trim your beard before you start shaving. This technique also helps in reducing shaving time. Some Philips Shavers come with a trimming attachment that you can use to trim your beard. Otherwise, use your normal beard trimmer. Be gentle and apply the right amount of pressure While shaving, it is important to be gentle, especially if you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation.
Do not press the shaver too hard against your skin. Only apply gentle pressure that makes your facial hair stand upright and makes it easier for the shaver blades to catch and cut them. Gentle pressure also reduces friction between the shaver and your skin, resulting in a more comfortable experience. The latest models of S9000 will help you to apply the right amount of pressure thanks to its pressure-guard feature.
