• We recommend cleaning the self‑cleaning recharger each time
you change the cleaning liquid.
1. Be sure to remove the cleaning liquid unit
from the self‑cleaning recharger.
• 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.
Wash with water.
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 (a) 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
• Do not tilt the self‑cleaning recharger to pour out water. Doing so
may cause the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid unit to spill or
cause the self‑cleaning recharger to malfunction.
• Beard trimmings may clog the drain at the
bottom of the cleaning tray.
In this case, you cannot clean or dry the shaver.
1. Be sure to remove the AC adaptor from the
self‑cleaning recharger.
2. Place the self‑cleaning recharger on a flat
surface, and push the beard trimmings down
through the drain (b) with a toothpick etc.
