4. Pull up the arm of the self-cleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-3).

5. Remove the protective cap and set the shaver firmly onto the selfcleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-4).

• The Self-cleaning recharger is

set on the (Charge) mode 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-cleaning recharger may not function.

• In particular, low temperature may

shorten the life span of the rechargeable battery. In this case, the backlight of LCD display blinks twice in 1 second.

• When charging the shaver for the

first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the plug symbol and backlight of LCD display may not illuminate for a few minutes after operation. These lights will eventually illuminate if kept connected.

When the shaver is being charged, the backlight of LCD display turns on, and the plug symbol appears (see fig. 4 (A)).

It shows the remaining battery capacity from 0% to 100%, in 10% increments. When the charging is completed, it will indicate “100%” and the backlight of LCD display will flash once in about 1 second. It will flash once in about 2 seconds for 10 minutes after charging is completed (see fig. 4 (B)). You can fully charge the shaver in 1 hour if the LCD display shows 10% and lower. The plug symbol blinks in the LCD display when the remaining battery capacity is 10% and less. The unit can be used once or twice more after the LCD display starts to show 10%. (Differs depending on the use situation.)

A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 14 shaves (3 minutes per shave for a normal beard). You can always connect your shaver to the self-cleaning recharger or the adaptor to maintain full battery capacity. This shaver cannot be overcharged. Before travelling, charge it fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the adaptor with you.

Charging without selfcleaning 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 adaptor may be required.

Before use

This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the symbol 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.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

Charging with self-cleaning 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 securely to the self-cleaning recharger (see fig. 13, 14, 15).

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.

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-cleaning recharger. Failure to observe this may cause electric shock or result in short circuits.

1. Detach the shaver and the appliance 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

fig. 10-2).

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 selfcleaning recharger (see fig. 13).

4. Peel off the seals from the new detergent cartridge (two seals) (see fig. 14).

• Hold the detergent cartridge horizontally. (The detergent may spill if tilted excessively.)

5. Attach the detergent cartridge to the self-cleaning recharger (see fig. 15).

• Do not use any solution other than the Panasonic Shaver selfcleaning recharger special detergent.

• Be sure to change the detergent cartridge and the cleaning 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 concentrated 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-cleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-3).

4. Remove the protective cap and set the shaver firmly onto the selfcleaning 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 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 selfcleaning recharger unit.

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 damage. 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 without 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 becomes 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 affect 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.
