You need to fill the based to the max solution line. There is not enough solution in the container.

I have this razor as well. Just flip the heads open, dump the hairs in the garbage and rinse the heads (while open) under hot water. Keep the heads open until dry and close on up.

I have had 3 1050CC shavers all with the same
problem. Apparently other models have the same issue. After about a year of
use, the unit reverses after dipping the shaver into the cleaning solution for
a second. Two were replaced by Philips within the 2 year warranty period. I
still use the 3rd one. There are several things you can try. If the
cleaning solution is low this will cause the shaver to reverse and not clean.
Add more cleaning solution. I have noticed that sometimes I have to add more
fluid to the unit after a week of use. Sometimes it is necessary to fill the
solution a little above the max fill line. Be careful though. Filling it too
much above the max fill line can cause cleaning fluid to run out of the bottom
after a cleaning cycle. If the above two
fixes don't work, then press the clean button and after the unit reverses back
up, wait about 5 or 10 minutes and press it again and it should stay down as
long as there is enough cleaning solution in the unit. If you wait too long or
too little to press the button, it won't work. I have noticed if I press the
button immediately after it reverses the same problem occurs. Also if I wait 30
minutes before pressing the button the same problem occurs. There must be some
sort of timing cycle. You may have to repeat this process a few times to get it
to stay down and clean. This is the only way I can get mine to clean now.
Obviously something is getting dirty or wearing out over time in the cleaning
system. Since I have had 3 shavers with the same problem, I know many others
have had it too. Philips must be aware of the problem. It is frustrating that
they don't offer help on their own website and consumers have to band together
to solve problems that they should be solving. The two year guarantee is very generous,
but there is a design flaw with this product.

The user manual will not help you with this because the Arcitec models were designed so that the cutters could NOT be removed to be cleaned. This is a major disadvantage with the Arcitec models as you can not disassemble the heads to thoroughly clean them. This causes you to have to replace them more frequently.
You can try running the shaver head in a dish of rubbing alcohol to try to loosen the build-up and rinse it out but that's about all you can do.
If you need to replace them, you will find at shaveroutlet.com. See link below

SOURCE: Jet Clean System not working
I had this same issue with my shaver and tried the method suggested without any affect. I then looked at the underside of the razor cradle and discovered two philips screws. I removed them and and a plastic cover comes off to expose the fluid sensor. The sensor has two wires leading into a molded assembly. I noticed that mine had a couple of cracks and one caused a piece of the material to fall off. I could now see a piece of metal underneath. I cleaned the sensor with water to remove all cleaning solution and then dried it with a hair dryer. I searched for something to seal the sensor and found some touchup paint for my car. I used it to paint and seal the visible surface of the molded sensor. I re-assembled the unit and let it dry. Everything worked fine after that.
