Travel Lock; Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips QP6520 Manual

- Since hair grows in different directions, you
need to hold the appliance in different
positions as well. However, always make sure
that you move the appliance upwards against
the grain.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.
Trimming with comb
1 Place the front part of the comb onto the blade
and push the projection at the back of the
comb into the appliance ('click') (Fig. 16).
2 Turn the hair length setting wheel to select the
desired hair length setting (Fig. 17).
The settings on the wheel correspond to the
hair lengths in millimeters (Fig. 18).
3 Switch on the appliance.
4 Place the comb onto the skin and move the
appliance upwards slowly, against the grain
(Fig. 19).
5 Switch off and clean the appliance after every
use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
6 To remove the comb, pull the back part off the
appliance and then slide the comb off the
blade (Fig. 23).

Travel lock

The product is equipped with a travel lock function.
You can use the travel lock if you are going to store
the appliance for a longer time period or if
traveling. The travel lock prevents the appliance
from being switched on by accident.
Activating the travel lock
1 Press the on/off button for 3 seconds.
- The travel lock symbol lights up and the digital
display counts down (Fig. 20).
- When the travel lock is activated, the travel lock
symbol flashes.
Deactivating the travel lock
1 Press the on/off button for 3 seconds.
- The display counts down. Then the travel lock
symbol lights up and switches off (Fig. 21).
- The appliance is now ready for use.
Note: The appliance unlocks automatically when
connected to a wall socket.

Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the appliance after every use.
Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as
petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
Do not tap the appliance against a surface to
remove water from it, as this may cause damage
(Fig. 22). Replace the blade if it is damaged.
Never dry the blade with a towel or tissue, as this
may cause damage.
Cleaning the appliance
1 Remove the comb from the blade (Fig. 23).
Always turn the appliance off before putting on
or taking off the comb.
2 If a lot of hairs have accumulated on the comb
or on the appliance, first blow them off (Fig. 24).
3 Switch on the appliance, rinse the blade with
lukewarm water and also rinse the comb with
lukewarm water (Fig. 25).
4 Let the appliance and comb dry.
Note: The blade is fragile. Handle it carefully.
Replace the blade immediately if it is damaged.
Storage
Note: We advise you to let the appliance and its
attachments dry before you store them for the
next use.
1 Always attach the precision trimming comb on
the blade to protect the blade from damage
during traveling or storage (Fig. 16).
- Store the appliance in the pouch supplied.
Make sure the appliance and attachments are
completely dry before storing in the pouch.
Replacement
Usage indicator
For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we
advise you to replace the blade every 4 months,
when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming
results you expect.
The blade is equipped with an usage indicator. A
green bar will gradually appear on the blade as you
use it (Fig. 26). When it is highly visible, it is
recommended to replace your blade for the best
OneBlade experience. Always replace the blade
with original Philips blade.
Depending on your usage behavior, the exact
lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter.
Similar to a manual blade, the blade becomes
blunt over time, which results in increased hair
pulling and reduced cutting performance.
Replacing the blade
1 Switch off the appliance.
2 Push the blade release slide upwards carefully,
and hold the blade on its sides to remove the
blade and prevent it from flying away (Fig. 27).
3 Hold the new blade on both sides and press it
onto the handle ('click') (Fig. 28).
Note: When you hear a click, the new blade is
placed correctly and ready for use.
Blade wear indicator
For optimal cutting and gliding performance,
replace the blade every 4 months or when it no
longer provides the shaving or trimming results you
expect. This advice is based on two full shaves a
week and actual results may vary.
The blade is equipped with a blade wear indicator.
A green bar will gradually appear on the blade as
you use it (Fig. 26). When it is highly visible, it is
recommended to replace your blade for the best
OneBlade experience. Always replace with an
original Philips blade.
Depending on your usage behavior, the exact
lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter.
