Function Description

The Philips Norelco Multigroom 5000 is a versatile grooming device designed for face, head, and body hair trimming. It offers various attachments and settings to achieve different hair lengths and styles, functioning as a groomer, trimmer, hair clipper, and shaver. The device is designed for both dry and wet use, depending on the model's waterproof rating. Some models feature a Turbo Mode for extra power when trimming thick hair, and a Quiet Mode for reduced noise, particularly useful when grooming children.

Usage Features

The groomer's usage is highly dependent on its waterproof rating, indicated by specific symbols.

• Waterproof Features: If the device has a "tap symbol," it means the parts (cutters and combs) can be cleaned with water, but it's not meant for use in the shower or bath. A "shower or bath symbol" indicates full waterproof capability, allowing for safe cleaning with water and use during showering or bathing. For safety, fully waterproof groomers operate only cordless and will not turn on if connected to a power supply. Devices with a "crossed out tap symbol" are not washable and must be cleaned without water.
• Corded vs. Cordless Operation: Showerproof and washable devices (with the shower symbol) are designed to be used cordless to prevent accidents when wet. Non-washable devices (with the crossed out tap symbol) can be used while plugged into an electric socket. Washable devices (with the tap symbol) can be used corded but must be unplugged before cleaning with water.
• Charging: The groomer can be charged by inserting the charging plug into its socket. A flashing indicator signals charging, and a continuously lit indicator means it's fully charged, turning off after about 30 minutes to save energy. Most groomers require 1 to 8 hours for a full charge, with a recommended 3-hour initial charge. Some models come with a charging stand; simply place the groomer in the stand after connecting it to a power outlet. Battery-operated devices use disposable AA batteries; ensure they are correctly inserted (+ and - poles) and replaced when the device runs slower or doesn't switch on.
• Attachments and Length Settings: The device supports various attachments for different grooming needs.
  • Click-on Cutting Element: This is the main unit for fast, clean trims. It can be removed by pressing a release button or by pulling it upwards from under the teeth. To reattach, insert the bottom part first, then push the teeth part until it clicks.
  • Cutting Units with Legs: These are removed by holding both sides and pulling them off, and reattached by pushing them back into the slot until they click.
  • Combs with Legs: Trimming combs are added on top of the cutting unit for head or beard hair. They are removed by pulling them off and attached by gently sliding them down onto the cutting element, ensuring the legs fit into the designated slots.
  • Combs for Philips Kids' Hair Clippers: These combs are pushed backward from one side to remove. To attach, fit one side into the clipper's body, then push the other side in until it clicks, ensuring the desired hair length side points upwards.
  • Shaving Foil: Used for body hair, it's removed by pulling it off the shaver head, holding it by its edges. To reattach, snap it back onto the shaving head until it clicks.
  • Body Grooming Combs: These special combs are removed by carefully pulling the back part off the appliance, then pushing or removing it from the shaving unit. They snap onto the shaving foil for attachment.
  • Nose Trimming Attachments: For MultiGroomers, the nose trimmer attachment is removed by firmly gripping the handle and turning it clockwise until aligned with an indication point, then pulling it off. To attach, place it on the handle and turn until the indicator arrows on the body and attachment align.
• Adjusting Length Settings:
  • Click-on Combs: Multiple combs are provided, each indicating a specific hair length (e.g., 4mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm). Simply click the appropriate comb onto the appliance.
  • Adjustable Comb: Some combs have a slide with numbers corresponding to hair length. Slide the button to select the desired length.
  • Zoom Wheel: Certain models feature a rotating zoom wheel on the body to match length settings indicated on the handle. Some have two rows of settings for short and longer lengths.
  • Push & Slide: Other models use a sliding button on the handle or comb itself. Push and slide the button up or down to change settings.
• Travel Lock: To prevent accidental activation during travel, press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds to activate the travel lock. The lock symbol will flash. To deactivate, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds again.
• Special Modes: Turbo Mode (indicated by a 'T' symbol) provides extra power for thick hair. Quiet Mode (indicated by a baby symbol) reduces noise, ideal for children's hair.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of the Philips Groomer.

• Cleaning: The method of cleaning depends on the device's waterproof rating. Washable parts can be rinsed with water. Non-washable devices must be cleaned without water.
• Oil Reminder: An oil drop symbol flashing on the device indicates a need for oiling. Groomers should be regularly cleaned and oiled with the provided oil or sewing machine oil.
• Battery Replacement: For battery-operated devices, replace disposable AA batteries when the device runs slower or fails to switch on, ensuring correct polarity.
• Troubleshooting Attachments: If an attachment is difficult to attach, check for obstructions inside the body and clean with a small brush or cotton bud. Avoid forcing attachments to prevent damage.

Always refer to the user manual for model-specific instructions and further support.
