How do I disinfect my shaver with the Philips UV Power Charger?

Published on 23 June 2025

Follow the steps below to disinfect your Philips shaver using your Philips UV Power Charger:

  1. Make sure the UV Power Charger has sufficient battery by checking the battery level indicator on the front of the device.
  2. Clean your shaver as normal (either under the tap or using the Quick Clean Pod) and allow the shaving heads to dry completely. Note: placing a wet shaver in the UV Power Charger may result in an unpleasant odor.
  3. Place the shaver into the UV Power Charger. The light ring will illuminate to indicate that the shaver is placed correctly.
  4. Close the lid of the UV Power Charger and disinfection will begin automatically. A pulsing purple LED on top of the device indicates that disinfection is in progress.
  5. When the disinfection process is complete the LED on top of the device switches off automatically.

Your shaver is now ready to use.
