After Every Use: Cleaning Under The Tap; Thorough Cleaning; Cleaning The Precision Shaver - Philips MG7960 Manual

Eyebrow comb
Attach the light gray eyebrow comb to the full-size
hair trimmer to tidy up eyebrows or trim sideburns to
a length of 1/4 in. (6mm).
1 Comb your eyebrows in the direction of hair
growth.
2 Slowly move the trimmer against the hair growth
direction. Press lightly and make sure that the
surface of the comb always stays in contact with
the skin (Fig. 21).
Nose and ear hair trimmer
Use the nose and ear hair trimmer to trim your nose
and/or ear hair.
- Make sure nasal passages are clean. Make sure
outer ear channels are clean and free from wax.
- Do not insert the cutting element too deep into
your nostrils or ear channels (max. 5 mm).
- When trimming both nose and ear hair, make firm,
rotary movements to ensure that the cutting
element reaches all the hairs.
- Clean the nose and ear hair trimmer after each use
(see 'Cleaning the nose and ear hair trimmer').
Note: The nose and ear hair trimmer is not designed
to clean-shave your nostrils or ear channels, but to cut
the hairs to a shorter length. Nose and ear hairs have
important protective functions and should not be fully
removed.
Trimming nose hair
1 Gently insert the cutting element into one of the
nostrils. Move the tip in and out of the nostril in a
firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs to a shorter
length (Fig. 22).
Trimming ear hair
1 Slowly move the cutting element along the outer
ear to trim hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
2 Gently insert the cutting element into the outer
ear channel. Move the tip in and out of the outer
ear channel in a firm, rotary motion to cut the hairs
to a shorter length (Fig. 22).
Precision shaver
Use the precision shaver after trimming to shave
unwanted hairs on cheeks, chin and along the beard
with precision. Make sure to pre-trim your beard first,
with the full-size hair trimmer without comb, to
obtain the best result.
Use the precision shaver to remove remaining hairs
and for detailing your beard style. The precision
shaver is not suitable for a full-face shave.
1 Gently press the precision shaver onto the skin and
shave along contoured edges to remove any
unwanted hairs (Fig. 23).
Cleaning

After every use: cleaning under the tap

1 Make sure that the appliance is switched off and
that the USB power source has been removed
from the power outlet and from the appliance.
2 Remove any comb (see 'Attaching and detaching
combs') and cutting element (see 'Detaching and
attaching cutting elements') from the appliance.
3 Rinse the hair chamber under running tap water
(Fig. 24).
4 Clean the cutting element and comb under
running tap water (Fig. 25).
5 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts
air-dry completely.

Thorough cleaning

1 Make sure that the appliance is switched off and
that the USB power source has been removed
from the power outlet and from the appliance.
2 Clean the handle under the tap or wipe the handle
clean with a dry or moist cloth.
3 Remove any comb (see 'Attaching and detaching
combs') or cutting element (see 'Detaching and
attaching cutting elements') from the appliance.
4 Remove any hairs that have accumulated in the
hair chamber with the cleaning brush supplied.
5 Remove any hairs that have accumulated in the
cutting elements and/or combs with the cleaning
brush supplied.
6 Clean the cutting element and comb under
running tap water (Fig. 25).
7 Rinse the cutting elements and combs under
running tap water (Fig. 25).
8 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts
air-dry completely.
Cleaning the nose and ear hair trimmer
Clean the nose and ear hair trimmer immediately after
use and when a lot of hair or dirt has accumulated on
the cutting element.
1 Rinse the nose and ear hair trimmer head under
running tap water (Fig. 26).
2 Switch on the appliance and rinse the cutting
element once more to remove any remaining
hairs. Then switch off the appliance again.
If a lot of hair or dirt accumulates on the cutting
element, this can hinder or decrease the
performance of the nose and ear hair trimmer. For
a thorough clean, detach the nose and ear hair
trimmer head from the appliance and immerse it
in a bowl with warm water for a few minutes to
soak and soften the debris. Reattach the nose and
ear trimmer head and switch on the appliance to
rinse off stubborn hair/debris.
3 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts
air-dry completely.

Cleaning the precision shaver

1 Hold the precision shaver at the grooves on each
side and pull the top part off the bottom part.
2 Blow and/or shake out any hair that has
accumulated inside the precision shaver.
3 Clean the top part of the precision shaver under a
warm tap (Fig. 27).
4 Carefully shake off excess water and let all parts air
dry completely.
5 Reattach the top part onto the bottom part of the
precision shaver.
