Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The 

appliance 

does not 

work when I 

press the on/

off button.

The rechargeable battery 

is empty.

Recharge the battery. See 

chapter 5.

The temperature of the 

appliance is too high. In 

this case, the appliance 

does not work.

Let the appliance cool 

down. As soon as the 

temperature of the 

appliance has dropped 

sufficiently, you can switch 

on the appliance again.

When you remove the 

adapter from the wall 

socket and leave the small 

plug in the appliance, the 

appliance does not work 

for a few seconds.

Remove the small plug 

from the appliance.

My skin is 

irritated after 

shaving.

Your skin needs time to 

get used to the Philips 

shaving system.

Skin irritation during the 

first 2-3 weeks of use is 

possible. After this period, 

the skin irritation usually 

disappears.

The shaving heads are 

damaged or worn.

Replace the shaving heads. 

See chapter 11.
