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.

With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Push the On/Off switch more than 2
seconds to activate the turbo mode
for “sonic” vibration cleaning.
At the same time, the “sonic” clean-
ing symbol appears in the LCD
display.
Pour some water over the outer foil.
After about 20 seconds, it will be
automatically turned off, or you can
turn it off by pushing the On/Off
switch.
Remove the system outer foil and
push the On/Off switch more than 2
seconds to activate the turbo mode
for “sonic” vibration cleaning and
clean it with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and dry it with-
out the system outer foil.
It is recommended to clean your
shaver with the self-cleaning
recharger or the “sonic” vibration
cleaning when the tap symbol (a)
appears in LCD.
Brush cleaning
Squeeze the system outer foil
release buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. (see
fig. 20). Remove the inner blades one
at a time by grasping it firmly at both
ends and pulling it straight away from
the shaver (see fig. 21). Clean the
outer foils, the shaver body and the
trimmer with the long brush (see fig.
22). Clean the inner blades with the
short brush by moving it in the direc-
tion in fig. 23 (A). Do not move the
brush in the direction in fig. 23 (B),
as it will damage the inner blade, and
its cutting performance. Do not use
the short brush to clean the outer
foils.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the system outer foil at least once a
year and the inner blade at least once
every 2 years to maintain your shav-
er’s cutting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 20)
Squeeze the system outer foil
release buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it.
To insert the new system outer foil,
press down until it snaps into place.
• Check that the gaps on both sides
of the system outer foil release
buttons and the system outer foil
are equal. If they are not equal,
there is a chance that the system
outer foil will become detached
during use, or shaving capabilities
will be deteriorated.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 21)
Squeeze the system outer foil
release buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. Re-
move the inner blade one at a time
by grasping it firmly at both ends and
pulling straight away from the shaver.
Do not touch the metal parts of inner
blades.
To insert the new inner blade, hold
the blade one at a time at both ends
and press downward until it snaps
into the shaver.
