Important

Before use

This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the symbol 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.

Using the shaver

Caution - The outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if not used correctly. Check that the foil is not damaged before using the shaver. Do not use the shaver if the foil etc. is damaged as you will cut your skin.

Charging the shaver

Only use the supplied power cord and recharger to charge the shaver. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet where there is no moisture and handle it with dry hands. The shaver and the recharger may become warm during use and charging. However, this is not a malfunction. Do not charge the shaver where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources. Hold the adaptor when disconnecting it from the household outlet. If you tug on the power cord, you may damage it. Contact an authorized service center if the power cord gets damaged. The adaptor is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or ﬂoor mount position.

Cleaning the shaver

Disconnect the power cord from the shaver before cleaning it to

prevent electric shock. Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the inner blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged. If you clean the shaver with water, do not use salt water or hot water. Do not soak the shaver in water for a long period of time. Wipe it with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol.

Storing the shaver

Disconnect the power cord when storing the shaver. Do not bend the power cord or wrap it around the shaver. Do not leave this shaver within the reach of small children. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place.

Self-cleaning recharger

Do not clean the adaptor or the self-cleaning recharger in water as it will damage them or cause an electric shock. Do not remove the shaver from the self-cleaning recharger while using a course that includes the “Dry” function. A heater is used so the area around the blades becomes extremely hot and you may burn yourself. Place the self-cleaning recharger on a level and stable surface. Otherwise the cleaning liquid may spill and discolor leather products or other surfaces. Wipe it immediately. The selfcleaning recharger cleans the inner blades and the system outer foil. Wash with water to remove beard trimmings in other areas.
