Checking the status lamp

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 start 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.

Replacing the Detergent Cartridge Replace the HydraClean™ Shaving System Solution Cartridge when it has reached the end of its service life. Normally, it is recommended to replace it every 30-40 days if used once every day. Use the below chart as a guide.

Note: In order to maintain maximum cleaning performance, it is important to replace the water in the water tank at the same time you replace the cartridge.

It is recommended to clean the shaver with the self-cleaning recharger after every shave.

Change the cartridges when the status lamp is illuminated. Before exchange, make sure to inspect the cartridges with following procedure.

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 lamp has been extinguished.

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

Attach the water tank and its cap properly.

2.Is the self-cleaning recharger tilted?

Place the self-cleaning recharger on a horizontal surface.

When an abnormality has been corrected in accordance with the above two inspections.

Hold down the select button for approximately two seconds to ex- tinguish the status lamp and start each course.

When no abnormality was found af- ter the above two inspections.

It is time to replace the detergent cartridge and cleaning liquid inside the water tank. (The same cartridge 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.

2Cleaning your shaver without the self-cleaning recharger
