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 hand-held part may be used in
a bath or shower.
Treat yourself to wet lather shaves
for at least three 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.

fig. 13, 14, 15).
2. Insert the appliance plug into the
socket (see fig. 16-1).
3. Firmly insert the adaptor into the
AC outlet (see fig. 16-2).
It will be adjusted automatically to
voltages between 100-240V AC.
In some areas, a special plug

(see fig. 17-4).
• The Self-cleaning recharger is
set on the (Charge) mode when
the shaver is set on.
• Do not push the arm down-
wards.
• Ensure that the outer foil does
not get deformed or damaged
when placing the shaver into the
self-cleaning recharger.
Note
• Use the self-cleaning recharger in
environments that do not exceed
ambient temperatures of 15 to
35 °C and humidity levels of 95%.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may extend, or the Self-clean-
ing recharger may not function.
•
In particular, low temperature may
shorten
the
life
span
of
rechargeable battery. In this case, the
charge status lamp blinks twice per
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the

tion. It will eventually illuminate if
kept connected.
• Even when you select the (Clean/
Dry) course or (Dry) course, the
shaver might be charged by the
self-cleaning recharger.
