Before use

This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this water- tight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the sym- bol of Wet shaver.The symbol means that the hand-held part may be used in a bath or shower.

Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least 3 weeks and notice the difference.Your Panasonic Wet / Dry shaver requires a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need about a month to adjust to any new shaving method.

Charge the shaver for at least 16 hours before using it for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months.

Charging

(see fig. 2)

Switch the shaver off and set it firmly into the charging adaptor. Keep the adaptor level.

Plug the adaptor into an AC outlet. The charge indicator lamp will glow red and it will stay on until the shaver is removed from the adaptor.

You can fully charge the shaver in 8 hours if it seems to be losing speed. A full charge will supply enough power for about 7 shaves (3 minutes per shave for a normal beard).

Before traveling, charge it fully for 8 hours if you will not be taking the charging adaptor with you.

For a better shave

Put a thin layer of shaving foam on your face which works as a lubricant. Shaving foam is the most suitable among many other shaving aids (gel, soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a thick layer of shaving foam as it may af- fect the shaver’s performance. If the shaving head is clogged with foam, simply rinse it under running water. Depress the switch lock button and slide the On/Off switch upward to turn the shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 3). Start out shaving by applying gen- tle pressure to your face. Stretch your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back and forth in the di- rection of your beard. You may gen- tly increase the amount of pressure

as your skin becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.

Using the trimmer

(see fig. 4)

Slide the trimmer handle up until it clicks in.

Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns.

Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 5)

For cleanliness and convenience, we recommend that you clean your shaver with water and a liquid hand soap. Regular cleaning will keep your shaver in good condition while pre- venting odors or bacteria from devel- oping, and maintain the cutting per- formance.

With the outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil. Turn the shaver on and pour some water over the outer foil.

After about 10-20 seconds, turn the shaver off.

Remove the outer foil and clean it with running water.

Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and remove the protective cap to allow the outer foil to dry completely.

Replacing shaving head components

It is recommended that you replace the outer foil at least every year and the inner blade at least every 2 years

to maintain your shaver’s cutting per- formance.

Replacing the outer foil (see fig. 6)

Squeeze the outer foil release but- tons and lift the outer foil upward to remove it.To insert the new outer foil, press down until it snaps into place.

Replacing the inner blades (see fig. 7)

Squeeze the foil frame release but- tons and lift the foil frame upward to remove it. Remove the inner blades, one at a time, by grasping them firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. To insert the new inner blades, hold the blades, one at a time, at both ends and press downward until they snap into place.
