Precautions for the detergent cartridge

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Only use to clean the blades of electric shavers.
• Carry out emergency measures if the Cleaning agent enters mouth or eyes, and consult a doctor.

Note:

• Replace the detergent cartridge when the status lamp is illuminated.
• The expiration date of the cleaning liquid is 6 months after it is opened. If you do not use the cleaning liquid for more than 6 months, throw away the detergent cartridge and the cleaning liquid.
• Only use self-cleaning recharger detergent for Panasonic shavers.
• Always change the detergent cartridge and the cleaning liquid in the water tank at the same time. Adding water, or changing just the detergent cartridge or the water, will result in deteriorated cleaning functions.
• If you operate the self-cleaning recharger, the concentrated detergent in the detergent cartridge dilutes and the water inside the tank will become a cleaning liquid.

Cleaning the shaver

Use the self-cleaning recharger in temperatures between 15 °C (59 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F).

1. Insert the appliance plug into the self-cleaning recharger.
2. Remove the protective cap and then gently insert the shaver as shown.

   •  
   •  
   •  
4. Press the SELECT button to select the course.
   • The “Charge” course starts when attaching the shaver
   • Each time you press the SELECT button, the course changes from “Clean/Dry/Charge” → “Dry/Charge” → “Charge”.
