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) course or
the (Clean/Dry) course.
To dry the shaver after rinsing,
select the (Dry/Charge) course or
the (Dry) course (see fig. 18).
• The (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) → (Dry/Charge)
→ (Dry) → (Charge) whenever
the select button is pressed.
• The course will
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) 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) or (Clean/
Dry) course once again from the
beginning.
It will take about 3 hours to finish the
(Clean/Dry/Charge) or (Clean/Dry)
course.
The clean and dry lamp will blink
after the (Clean/Dry/Charge) or
(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.

Checking the status lamp
In cases when the status lamp blinks,
carry out the following inspections.
1. Is the detergent cartridge set
properly?
→ Properly set the detergent car-
tridge (see fig. 15).
2. Was the detergent cartridge de-
tached during cleaning?
→ Reset the detergent cartridge.
After completing inspection and treat-
ment
• Properly set the detergent cartridge
to extinguish the status lamp and
start each course.
In cases when the status lamp is
illuminated, detach the shaver from
the self-cleaning recharger and carry
out the following inspections.
• Note that there are cases where the
blade will be hot or wet if cleaning
is not completed.
• Check to ensure that the clean

1. Is the water tank and its cap set
properly?
Reusability
→ Attach the water tank and its

approximately two seconds to ex-
tinguish the status lamp and start

When no abnormality was found af-
ter the above two inspections.
• It is time to replace the detergent

has been used to clean approxi-
mately 30 ~ 40 days worth of beard
shavings.)
→ Drain the old cleaning liquid in-
side the water tank and refill the
tank with water. Additionally,
replace the old detergent cartridge
with a new one.
• If the status lamp blinks or
illuminates again even after the in-
spections and treatments above
have been carried out, contact an
authorized service center.
