Manual cleaning of the shaver
Regular cleaning ensures better shaving
performance. Rinsing the shaver head under
running water after each shave is an easy and fast
way to keep it clean.
• The hand-held unit should be detached from the
power supply cord before cleaning.
• Switch the shaver on (cordless) and rinse the
shaver head under hot running water until all
residues have been removed. 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 (2) to remove the Foil & Cutter cassette (1)
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 with a brush:
• Switch off the shaver. Remove the Foil & Cutter
cassette (1) and tap it out on a flat surface. Using
the brush, clean the inner area of the pivoting
head. Do not clean the cassette with the brush as
this may damage it!
Model 5040s only: The shaver should be cleaned
after each foam usage.
