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
fire, 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.
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 is damaged as
you will cut your skin.
Terminate the usage when there is an abnormality or failure.
Do not share your shaver with your family or other people.
Doing so may result in infection or inflammation.

Hold the shaver
as illustrated
above and shave.
We recommend using the shaver in an ambient temperature
range of 5 ‑ 35 °C. If used outside this range, the appliance may
stop operating.
Start out shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face.
Stretch your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back
and forth in the direction of your beard. You may gently increase
the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to
this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a
closer shave.
Caution
If you press the power switch for more than 2 seconds, the
sonic vibration cleaning mode is activated.
Page 5
You cannot shave in this mode.
Do not place your fingers on the power switch while using the
shaver. This may cause the shaver to turn off or enter the sonic
vibration cleaning mode. Place your fingers on the finger rest
while using the shaver.
