alone cannot be replaced. Contact
an authorized service center.

• Store the adaptor in a dry area

where it will be protected from dam-
age.

• The shaver and adaptor will be-

come slightly hot during use or
charging, however this is not a
malfunction.

• In cases where static noise is emit-

ted from the television during use
charging or cleaning, connect the
adaptor to a different outlet.

• Do not touch the edge (metal part)

of the inner blade.
Failure to observe this may lead to
hand injuries.

only one of the inner blades at-
tached makes an abnormal noise
and may damage the shaver.)

• Do not detach the detergent car-

tridge or water tank during clean-
ing.
The cleaning liquid may spill, lead-
ing to malfunctions.

• Set the self-cleaning recharger on

a level and stable surface.

ing liquid may discolor leather prod-
ucts or flooring boards.
