20 Troubleshooting Perform the following actions. If the problems still cannot be solved, contact the store where you purchased the unit or a service center authorized by Panasonic for repair. ► Self-cleaning recharger Problem Action The blade has not been thoroughly washed. Do not add detergent and water except when replacing the cleaning liquid. Doing so may deteriorate the cleaning function. (See page 16.) After cleaning, oil‑like droplets may remain on the outside of the foil frame. This is the lubricating component of the cleaning liquid and does not indicate a problem. You may wipe it off with a soft cloth. The STATUS lamp glows. See page 23. Problem Action The mode does not start. Check that the AC adaptor is connected to the self‑cleaning recharger, and that the adaptor is plugged in to a household outlet. (See page 16.) Confirm that the shaver is properly attached to the self‑ cleaning recharger. (See page 16.) The Clean or Dry function may not operate under extreme low temperatures (approximately 0 °C (32 °F) or lower). Check if the STATUS lamp glows. (See page 23.) Cleaning liquid has accumulated in the cleaning tray. Remove any waste, etc. that has accumulated in the drain at the bottom of the cleaning tray. (See page 19.) If you use the self‑cleaning recharger when the shaver is wet or when soap or shaving gel is on the shaver, cleaning liquid may accumulate in the cleaning tray.
