SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver ES LF51. With our WET/DRY technology, you can enjoy using your Panasonic shaver dry or in the shower or bath for gentle and easy shaving. Please read all instructions before use.

Important

This shaver has a built in rechargeable battery. Do not throw into ire, apply heat, or charge, use, or leave in a high temperature environment.

Before use

This WET/DRY shaver can be used for wet shaving using shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean with water. The following symbol means suitable for use 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.

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 is damaged as you will cut your skin.
