Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end
of their life, but hand them in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing
this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 25).

environment. Always remove the battery before you discard or hand in the
shaver at an official collection point. Dispose of the battery at an official
collection point for batteries. If you have trouble removing the battery, you can
also take the appliance to a Philips service centre. The staff of this centre will
remove the battery for you and will dispose of it in an environmentally safe
way (Fig. 26).

the rechargeable battery is completely empty when you remove it.

www.philips.com/support
for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the
Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The shaver does
not shave as well as
it used to.
The shaving heads
are damaged or
worn.
Replace the shaving heads (see
chapter ‘Replacing the shaving heads’).
Foam or gel
residues clog
up the shaving
heads.
Rinse the shaving unit under a
hot tap (see section ‘Cleaning
the shaving unit under the
tap’ in chapter ‘Cleaning and
maintenance’).
You have not
inserted the
shaving heads
properly.
Make sure that the projections of
the shaving heads fit exactly into the
recesses.
The shaver does
not work when I
press the on/off
button.
The rechargeable
battery is empty.
Recharge the battery (see chapter
‘Charging’).
The temperature
of the shaver is too
high. In this case,
the shaver does
not work.
As soon as the temperature of the
shaver has dropped sufficiently, you
can switch on the shaver again.
Cleaning the shaving unit under the tap (quick clean)
1
Switch off the shaver.
2
Place you thumb under the shaving unit and push the shaving unit off the
shaver. (Fig. 11)
Note: Make sure to hold the shaving unit while doing so.
3
Rinse the shaving unit and hair chamber under a hot tap for 30 seconds.
Be careful with hot water. Always check if the water is not too hot, to prevent your
hands from getting burnt.
- Rinse the hair chamber (Fig. 12).
- Rinse the inside of the shaving unit (Fig. 13).
- Rinse the outside of the shaving unit (Fig. 14).
Thorough cleaning
4
Turn the lock anticlockwise (1) and remove the retaining frame (2) (Fig. 15).
5
Remove and clean one shaving head at a time. Each shaving head consists of a
cutter and a guard (Fig. 16).
Note: 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 guards, it may take several weeks before
optimal shaving performance is restored.
- Remove the cutter from the shaving guard and rinse it with water (Fig. 17).
- Rinse the inside and outside of the shaving guard with water (Fig. 18).
6
Put the shaving heads back into the shaving unit. (Fig. 19)
Make sure that the projections of the shaving heads fit exactly into the recesses.
7
Put the retaining frame back into the shaving unit (1) and turn the lock
clockwise (2) (Fig. 20).
8
Reattach the shaving unit and shake excess water off the shaver.
Note: If you cannot reattach the shaving unit properly, check if you have inserted the
shaving heads properly and if the retaining frame is locked.
Be careful not to hit the shaving unit against anything while you shake excess water
off the shaver.
Never dry the shaving unit and the hair chamber with a towel or tissue, as this may
damage the shaving unit.
9
Open the shaving unit again and leave it open to let the shaver dry completely.
Cleaning the trimmer (AT620 only)
Clean the trimmer every time you have used it.
1
Switch off the shaver.
2
Push the trimmer release slide downwards to open the trimmer (Fig. 9).
3
Rinse the trimmer under a hot tap. (Fig. 21)
4
Close the trimmer (‘ click’).
Tip: For optimal trimming performance, lubricate the trimmer teeth with a drop of sewing
machine oil every six months (Fig. 22).
