If your shaver comes with a cleaning system, always use the original
Philips cleaning fluid (cartridge or bottle, depending on the type of

If your cleaning system uses a cleaning cartridge, always make sure

When the cleaning system is ready for use, do not move it to

Water may drip from the socket at the bottom of the shaver
