►Self-cleaning recharger
Problem
The blade has not been
thoroughly washed.
The blades are not
dry or are sticky.
Action
If the shaver is not cleaned
for more than 2 weeks, first
clean with the cleaning
brush to remove beard
trimmings.
(See page 19.)
Do not add detergent and
water except when
replacing the cleaning liquid.
Doing so may deteriorate
the cleaning function.
(See page 20.)
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 blades may not dry quickly
due to temperature conditions.
Run the "Dry/Charge" mode
again or wipe with a soft
cloth before shaving.
Problem
The blades crack or
deform during cleaning.
The cleaning liquid
has foamed.
Cleaning liquid has
accumulated in the
cleaning tray.
Action
Do not insert any foreign
objects into the recharger.
Replace the system outer
foil and/or inner blades.
(See page 19.)
If you mix soapy water or
hand soap with the
detergent or use another
detergent, the cleaning
liquid will foam. Use the
self‑cleaning recharger after
thoroughly washing and
drying the shaver.
Replace the cleaning liquid.
(See page 20.)
Remove any waste, etc. that
has accumulated in the
drain at the bottom of the
cleaning tray.
(See page 21.)
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.
