► Whenthewaterdoesnotdrainfromthecleaningtray

• 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.
Push the beard trimmings down through the
drain with a toothpick etc.

Troubleshooting

►Self-cleaningrecharger

Problem
The blade has not been
thoroughly washed.
The STATUS lamp glows.
Action
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.
See page 20.
Problem
The mode does not start.
Cleaning liquid has
accumulated in the
cleaning tray.
The cleaning liquid unit
cannot be removed.
Action
Check that the AC adaptor is
connected to the self‑cleaning
recharger, and that the AC
adaptor is plugged in to a
household outlet. (See page 11.)
Confirm that the shaver is
properly attached to the self‑
cleaning recharger.
(See page 11.)
The Clean or Dry function may
stop out of recommended
ambient temperature range.
(5 – 35 °C (41 – 95 °F))
Check if the STATUS lamp glows.
(See page 20.)
Remove any waste, etc. that has
accumulated in the drain at the
bottom of the cleaning tray.
(See this page.)
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.
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.
