000-011ES8078765EU 05.12.5 12:58 ページ9Before use This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this water- tight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the sym- bol of Wet shaver. The symbol means that hand-held part may be used 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.

FORE USE. Charging with self-clean- ing recharger Before each use, ensure that the recharger unit is clean and dry. Thoroughly wipe off any water or moisture on or around the recharger unit.

1. Attach the detergent cartridge

and the water tank to the self-

2. Insert the appliance plug into the

socket (see fig. 16-1).

3. Firmly insert the adaptor into the

AC outlet (see fig. 16-2). It will be adjusted automatically to voltages between 100-240V AC. In some areas, a special plug adaptor may be required.

4. Pull up the arm of the self-clean-

ing recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-3).

5. Remove the protective cap and

set the shaver firmly onto the self- cleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-4).

• The Self-cleaning recharger is set on the [Charge] (Charge) cource when the shaver is set on.

• Do not push the arm down- wards.

• Ensure that the outer foil does not get deformed or damaged when placing the shaver into the self-cleaning recharger. Note

• Use the self-cleaning recharger in environments that do not exceed ambient temperatures of 15 to 35 °C and humidity levels of 95%.

• If it is far below or over the appro- priate temperature, the charging time may extend, or the Self-clean- ing recharger may not function.

• In particular, low temperature may shorten the life span of the re- chargeable battery. In this case, the charge status lamp blinks twice per second.

• When charging the shaver for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charge status lamp may not illumi- nate for a few minutes after opera- tion. It will eventually illuminate if kept connected. The charge status lamp will glow when the shaver is being charged. The battery capacity monitor will fully illuminate and the charge status lamp will blink after charging is completed (see fig. 4 (A)). 10 minutes after charging is com- pleted, the battery capacity monitor will turn off and the charge status lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 4 (B)). You can fully charge the shaver in 1 hour if the LED display shows “low”. The battery capacity monitor indi- cates the charge remaining in the battery in 3 levels (high/mid/low). The unit can be used once or twice more after “low” starts to blink. (Differs de- pending on usage.) A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min- utes per shave for a normal beard). You can always connect your shaver to the self-cleaning recharger or the adaptor to maintain full battery ca- pacity. This shaver cannot be over- charged. Before travelling, charge it fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the adap- tor with you. Charging without self- cleaning recharger Connect the power cord to the shaver, and plug the adaptor to an AC outlet (see fig. 5). The shaver will be adjusted automatically to voltages between 100-240V AC. In some areas, a special plug adap- tor may be required. Using your shaver Caution – The system outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if handled improperly. Before each use, always check the foil for dam- age. To avoid personal injury, do not use if the foil or other parts of the shaving head are damaged. Push the On/Off switch to turn the shaver on. If you push and hold the On/Off switch for more than 2 seconds, it will activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning. (see “Cleaning your shaver with- out the self-cleaning recharger”) Shaving with “sonic” vibration may damage your skin. Please turn it off and on again to deactivate the turbo mode. Do not place fingers on the On/Off switch during use. This may cause the shaver to stop during use or change it to the “sonic” vibration cleaning mode. Place your finger on the finger rest during use. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 6). Start out shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face. Stretch your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back and forth in the direction of your beard. You may gently increase the amount of pressure as your skin be- comes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave. Pivot action selector (see fig. 7) Use the pivot action selector to choose the shaving mode, [soft] (soft) and [lock] (lock) based on your shaving preference. The pivot action can be changed whether the switch is turned on or off. System outer foil (see fig. 8) System outer foil has a slit blade (a) between 2 foils (b). They move up and down independently to follow the contours of your face. The slit blade catches and cuts longer and lying hairs easily. For wet shaving Put a thin layer of shaving foam on your face which works as a lubricant. Shaving foam is the most suitable among many other shaving aids (gel, soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a thick layer of shaving foam as it may af- fect shaver’s performance. If the shaving head is clogged with foam, simply rinse it under running water. Using the trimmer (see fig. 9) Slide the trimmer handle up to open the trimmer. Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns. 000-011ES8078765EU 05.12.5 12:58 ページ1112 thoroughly with water if it has been washed with hand soap or any other detergent, and swish water off properly before setting the shaver into the self- cleaning recharger unit. The presence of soap or any other detergent residue will contaminate the cleaning solution in the self-cleaning recharger unit and could lead to poor cleaning performance.

5. To clean the shaver, select either

the [Clean/Dry/Charge] (Clean/ Dry/Charge) course or the [Clean/Dry] (Clean/Dry) course. To dry the shaver after rinsing, select the [Dry/Charge] (Dry/ Charge) course or the [Dry] (Dry) course (see fig. 18).

• The [Charge] (Charge) course will begin immediately when the shaver is set onto the self- cleaning recharger.

• A total of five courses are available. The display will alternate between [Clean/Dry/Charge] (Clean/Dry/Charge) → [Clean/ Dry] (Clean/Dry) → [Dry/ Charge] (Dry/Charge) → [Dry] (Dry) → [Charge] (Charge) whenever the select button is pressed.

• The course will start approximately six seconds after being selected.

• Press the select button within six seconds to choose a different course (see fig. 3). WARNING – Do not remove the shaver from the self-cleaning recharger when courses that include the [Dry] (Dry) function are in use. A heater is used during the drying process, and this may result in the area around the blade becoming extremely hot and causing burns. The course will be aborted if the power is cut off during cleaning. In this event, it is necessary to perform the [Clean/Dry/Charge] (Clean/Dry/ Charge) or [Clean/Dry] (Clean/Dry) course once again from the begin- ning. It will take about 3 hours to finish the [Clean/Dry/Charge] (Clean/Dry/ Charge) or [Clean/Dry] (Clean/Dry) course. The clean and dry lamp will blink after the [Clean/Dry/Charge] (Clean/ Dry/Charge) or [Clean/Dry] (Clean/ Dry) course is completed.

• The self-cleaning recharger is mainly designed to clean the blades (outer foil and inner blades). Areas that are not soaked into the cleaning liquid or around the sur- face of the liquid are not subject to cleaning. Carry out brush cleaning or wash with water to remove beard trim- mings in these areas. Replacing the Detergent Cartridge Replace the Detergent Cartridge when it has reached the end of its service life. Normally, it is recommended to replace it every 30- 40 days if used once every day. Use the below chart as a guide. Cleaning your shaver 1 Cleaning with the self-cleaning recharger Preparing the self-cleaning recharger Warning – Do not wash or apply water to the adaptor or self-clean- ing recharger.

1. Detach the shaver and the appli-

ance plug from the self-cleaning recharger.

2. Fill the water tank with water.

1) Remove the water tank from

the self-cleaning recharger (see fig. 10-1).

2) Open the water tank cap (see

3) Wash away the old cleaning

liquid inside the water tank and rinse (see fig. 11).

4) Pour tap water up until the

feed water line (see fig. 12).

• Do not pour water over the water feed line in the tank. This may cause the cleaning liquid to spill.

3. Firmly shut the water tank cap

and attach the tank to the self- cleaning recharger (see fig. 13).

4. Peel off the seals from the new

detergent cartridge (two seals) (see fig. 14).

5. Attach the detergent cartridge to

the self-cleaning recharger (see fig. 15).

• Do not use any solution other than the Panasonic Shaver self-cleaning recharger special detergent.

• Be sure to change the deter- gent cartridge and the clean- ing liquid inside the water tank simultaneously. Adding water, or changing just the detergent cartridge or the water, will result in deteriorated cleaning functions.

• When the self-cleaning recharger is operated, the con- centrated detergent inside the cartridge will be diluted and the water inside the tank will become a cleaning liquid. Cleaning your shaver

1. Insert the appliance plug into the

self-cleaning recharger socket (see fig. 16-1).

2. Firmly insert the adaptor into the

AC outlet (see fig. 16-2).

3. Pull up the arm of the self-clean-

ing recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-3).

4. Remove the protective cap and

set the shaver firmly onto the self- cleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-4).

• Ensure that the outer foil does not get deformed or damaged during setting.

• Before using the self-cleaning recharger, make sure the shaver has been rinsed 012-021ES8078765EU 05.12.5 12:58 ページ1213 With the system outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil. Push the On/Off switch more than 2 seconds to activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning. At the same time, the lamps of the Battery capacity monitor will flash around randomly. Pour some water over the outer foil. After about 20 seconds, it will be automatically turned off, or you can turn it off by pushing the On/Off switch. Remove the system outer foil and push the On/Off switch more than 2 seconds to activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning and clean it with running water. Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and dry it with- out the system outer foil. Brush cleaning Squeeze the foil frame release but- tons and lift the foil frame upward to remove it (see fig. 20). Remove the inner blades one at a time by grasp- ing it firmly at both ends and pulling it straight away from the shaver. Clean the outer foils, the shaver body and the trimmer with the long brush (see fig. 22). Clean the inner blades with the short brush by moving it in the direction in fig. 23 (A). Do not move the brush in the direction in fig. 23 (B), as it will damage the inner blade, and its cutting performance. Do not use the short brush to clean the outer foils. Replacing shaving head components It is recommended that you replace the system outer foil at least once a year and the inner blade at least once every 2 years to maintain your shav- er’s cutting performance. Replacing the system outer foil (see fig. 20) Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. To insert the new system outer foil, press down until it snaps into place.

• Check that the gaps on both sides of the system outer foil release buttons and the system outer foil are equal. If they are not equal, there is a chance that the system outer foil will become detached during use, or shaving capabilities will be deteriorated. Replacing the inner blades (see fig. 21) Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. Re- move the inner blade one at a time by grasping it firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. Do not touch the metal parts of inner blades. To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade one at a time at both ends and press downward until it snaps into the shaver. Note: In order to maintain maximum cleaning performance, it is important to replace the water in the water tank at the same time you replace the cartridge. It is recommended to clean the shaver with the self-cleaning recharger after every shave. Change the cartridges when the status lamp is illuminated. Before exchange, make sure to inspect the cartridges with following procedure. Checking the status lamp In cases when the status lamp blinks, carry out the following inspections.
