Do not rub your eyes. Wash immediately with clean water and consult a physician. - The battery fluid may cause inflammation or injury if it comes in contact with the skin or clothes. Wash it off thoroughly with clean water and consult a physician.

WARNING If the battery fluid leaks out, take the following procedures. Do not touch the battery with your bare hands.

•• Clean the housing only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with tap water or soapy tap water. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol or other chemicals.

•• Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use. •• Do not store the shaver or detergent where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources. •• The self-cleaning recharger cleans the inner blades and the system outer foil. Wash with water to remove beard trimmings in other areas. •• Depending on the environment, the shaver may not dry even if you select a mode that includes the “Dry” function. In this case, wipe off any drops of water with a dry cloth.

•• This WET/DRY shaver can be used for wet shaving using shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean with water. The following symbol means suitable for use in a bath or shower.

•• Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and notice the difference. Your Panasonic WET/DRY shaver requires a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need about a month to adjust to any new shaving method.

Cleaning the self-cleaning recharger

Beard trimmings may become attached to the cleaning tray of the self-cleaning recharger. Follow the steps below to remove them.

We recommend doing this each time you change the cleaning liquid. 1. Be sure to remove the cleaning liquid unit and the appliance plug from the selfcleaning recharger. •• Be careful not to spill the cleaning liquid. •• Some cleaning liquid components and skin oil may separate and adhere to the cleaning liquid unit and cleaning liquid filter. This does not indicate a problem. 2. Pour water as illustrated while tilting the cleaning liquid unit and shaking it gently. •• You can clean with the cleaning liquid filter removed. •• After washing, be sure to attach the cleaning liquid filter. 3. Gently wipe off any beard trimmings attached to the inside of the cleaning tray with a cloth or tissue paper dampened with water. •• Clean the corners and uneven parts of the cleaning tray with a cotton swab dampened with water.

► the water does not drain from the cleaning tray Beard trimmings may clog the drain at the bottom of the cleaning tray. In this case, you cannot clean or dry the shaver. Push the beard trimmings down through the drain with a toothpick etc.

►Self-cleaning ► recharger Problem

If the shaver is not cleaned for more than 2 weeks, first clean to remove beard trimmings.

The blade has not been thoroughly washed.

The STATUS lamp glows.

Do not add detergent and water except when replacing the cleaning liquid.

Doing so may deteriorate the cleaning function. (See page 15.) After cleaning, oil-like droplets may remain on the outside of the foil frame. This is the lubricating component of the cleaning liquid and does not indicate a problem. You may wipe it off with a soft cloth. See page 21.

The mode does not start.

Confirm that the shaver is properly attached to the selfcleaning recharger.

The shaver cannot be charged.

Gently wipe the main body rear terminals and the charging terminals of the self-cleaning recharger with a cloth or tissue dampened with water.

The blades are not dry or are sticky.

The blades may not dry quickly due to temperature conditions.

Run the “Dry/Charge” mode again or wipe with a soft cloth before shaving.

The Clean or Dry operation may not function under extreme low temperatures (approx. 0 °C

(32 °F) or lower). Check if the STATUS lamp glows. (See page 21.)

Cleaning liquid has accumulated in the cleaning tray.

The cleaning liquid unit cannot be removed.

Remove any waste, etc. that has accumulated in the drain at the bottom of the cleaning tray.

(See page 18.) If you use the self-cleaning recharger when the shaver is wet or when soap or shaving gel is on the shaver, cleaning liquid may accumulate in the cleaning tray. Place the self-cleaning recharger on a hard, flat surface. When the self-cleaning recharger is lifted, or on the soft surface such as carpets, the lock release lever will not fit in the recharger properly. In that case, the cleaning liquid unit cannot be removed.

During cleaning: The self-cleaning recharger makes a loud sound due to the cleaning of the blades. After cleaning: The self-cleaning recharger makes a loud sound due to the removal of water droplets in order to speed drying. The sound after cleaning is different from the sound during cleaning. The water level has dropped and it is removing water droplets from the blades after cleaning. This does not indicate a problem.

The blades crack or deform during cleaning.

Check that the AC adaptor is connected to the self-cleaning recharger, and that the recharger is plugged in to a household outlet. (See page 11.)

Do not insert any foreign objects into the recharger.

Replace the system outer foil and/ or inner blades. (See page 17.)

The cleaning liquid has foamed.

If you mix soapy water or hand soap with the detergent or use another detergent, the cleaning liquid will foam. Use the selfcleaning recharger after thoroughly washing and drying the shaver. Replace the cleaning liquid.

Operating time is short even after charging.

Confirm that the blades are properly attached.

Do not press the cleaning liquid unit removal button during the mode.

Cleaning liquid leaked from the cleaning liquid unit.

Place the self-cleaning recharger horizontally.

If you use the self-cleaning recharger when the shaver is wet or when soap or shaving gel is on the shaver, cleaning liquid may leak.

Trimmed hairs fly all over.

This can be improved by cleaning every time after shaving.

When the number of operations per charge starts to decrease, the battery is nearing the end of its life.

The shaver makes a high-pitched sound due to the linear motor drive. This does not indicate a problem.

The shaving sensor does not respond.

Depending on the beard thickness, the shaving sensor may not react and the driving sound may not change. This is not abnormal.

The shaving sensor may not respond depending on the thickness of the beard or the type of the shaving gel and shaving foam, but this is normal.

The shaving sensor responds even though the shaver is not in contact with the skin.

The shaver cannot be charged with the selfcleaning recharger.

Clean the beard trimmings from the shaver.

When the shaver is extremely dirty, remove the foil frame and wash with water. (See page 16.) Replace the system outer foil and/ or inner blades.
