Charge

Charging using the self-cleaning recharger

Thoroughly wipe off any drops of water on or around the selfcleaning recharger so that it is dry before charging the shaver.

1. Insert the appliance plug into the self-cleaning recharger.
2. Remove the protective cap and then attach the shaver.
   • Turn the shaver off before attaching.
   • Wipe off any water droplets on the main body rear terminals.
   • Check that the outer foil is not deformed or damaged when you are attaching the shaver.
3. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet.
   • The “Charge” mode starts when attaching the shaver.
   • Check that the charge status lamp ( ) glows.
   • Charging is completed after approx. 1 hour. The charging time may decrease depending on the charging capacity.
   • If the shape of the plug does not fit the power outlet, use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration.

While charging

The charge status lamp glows. The number of the battery capacity lamp will increase as charging progresses

After charging is completed

The battery capacity lamp and the charge status lamp will light up and then turn off after 5 seconds.

Abnormal charging

The charge status lamp will blink twice every second.

• After charging is completed, turning the power switch ON with the shaver plugged in will cause the battery capacity lamp and the charge status lamp to light up and then turn off after 5 seconds. This shows that the shaver is fully charged.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 10 – 35 °C (50 – 95 °F). It may take longer to charge or the battery may fail to charge properly in extremely high or low temperatures. Charge the shaver within the recommended ambient temperature range.
• 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 glow. It will eventually glow if kept connected.

4 Disconnect the adaptor after charging is completed.

• You can charge even with the STATUS lamp of the self-cleaning recharger glowing.
• The appliance can be charged even with the cleaning liquid unit removed.

Charging without the self-cleaning recharger

You can also charge without the self-cleaning recharger.

1. Insert the appliance plug into the shaver.
   • Turn the shaver off before inserting.
2. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet.
   • Wipe off any water droplets on the appliance socket.
3. Disconnect the adaptor after charging is completed

Using the shaver

1. Rotate the lock ring to unlock the power switch. (See page 11.)
2. Press the power switch to select the desired shaving mode.
   • Each time you press the power switch, the shaving mode changes from “Shaving sensor mode” “Normal mode” “OFF”.

   • Shaving mode	Shaving sensor mode	Normal mode	OFF
     Description	Beard thickness is automatically sensed and the power is automatically adjusted when shaving.	The power level is constantly maintained while shaving.	-
     Operation
     Shaving sensor lamp	The shaving sensor lamp blinks.	— The shaving sensor lamp turns off.	— The shaving sensor lamp turns off.

   • 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 may not respond when the remaining battery capacity is low. If this happens, recharge the shaver.
3. Hold the shaver as illustrated and shave.
   • Start 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 becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.

Cleaning using the self-cleaning recharger

Preparing the self-cleaning recharger

Remove the shaver and the appliance plug from the self-cleaning recharger.

1. 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.
2. Press the cleaning liquid unit removal button and remove the cleaning liquid unit.
3. Wash away the old cleaning liquid and beard trimmings and then rinse the cleaning liquid unit.
   • After washing, be sure to attach the cleaning liquid filter.
4. Pour tap water and detergent into the cleaning liquid unit.
   • Do not let the water rise above the maximum water line. This may cause the cleaning liquid to spill.
5. Attach the cleaning liquid unit.
   • Immediately wipe up any cleaning liquid that has been spilt. Be careful not to drop cleaning liquid onto leather products or wooden floors as it may cause discoloration.
6. Press the top of the selfcleaning recharger down and securely attach until it clicks.

Notes

• The water and detergent will mix after cleaning begins, making cleaning liquid.
• When the cleaning liquid level has dropped, the LOW lamp will glow to indicate the cleaning liquid should be replaced.
• After the LOW lamp glows, you can clean the shaver with the self-cleaning recharger for approximately 7 days.
• Replace the cleaning liquid when the STATUS lamp glows.
• When replaced, the cleaning liquid will last for approximately 30 days if used once per day. (This will differ depending on beard thickness and the ambient temperature.)
• Use the detergent within approximately 6 months after opening the package. When 6 months have passed, discard the cleaning liquid, and then pour new water and detergent into the cleaning liquid unit.
• Replace the water and detergent at the same time. Otherwise the cleaning function may deteriorate.
• Only use self-cleaning recharger detergent for Panasonic shavers

Cleaning the shaver

Remove any soap or water on the shaver if it has been washed with hand soap or any other detergent.

1. Insert the appliance plug into the self-cleaning recharger.
2. Remove the protective cap and then attach the shaver.
3. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet.
   • Turn the shaver off before attaching.
   • Wipe off any water droplets on the main body rear terminals.
   • Check that the outer foil is not deformed or damaged when you are attaching the shaver.
4. Press the SELECT button to select the mode.
   • The “Charge” mode starts when attaching the shaver.
   • Each time you press the SELECT button, the mode changes from “Clean/Dry/Charge” “Dry/Charge” “Charge”.
   • The modes start approximately 6 seconds after they are selected.
   • The mode will be aborted if the power is cut off. In this case, perform the mode again from the beginning.
   • Do not press the cleaning liquid unit removal button as the cleaning liquid may spill causing a malfunction.

* When the ambient temperature of the self-cleaning recharger is low (approx. 15 °C (59 °F) or lower), the time it takes to dry the shaver increases.

• Use the self-cleaning recharger in temperatures between 15 °C (59 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F).
• The Clean or Dry function may stop under extreme low temperatures (approx. 0 °C (32 °F) or lower). In such a case, the STATUS lamp will glow for approximately 5 seconds and the mode will switch to the “Charge” mode without allowing you to select the “Clean/Dry/Charge” mode or the “Dry/Charge” mode.

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.
   • 

When 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.

Troubleshooting

►Self-cleaning recharger

The blade has not been thoroughly washed.

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

The STATUS lamp glows.

• See page 21.

The mode does not start.

• 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.)
• Confirm that the shaver is properly attached to the selfcleaning recharger. (See page 11.)
• 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.

• 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.
