Operating Instructions
Rechargeable Shaver
Model No. ES‑LT71
Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver. 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 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
ver. The symbol means that the hand‑held part may be
Wet sha
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.
•
Terminate the usage when there is abnormality or failure.
•
Do not share with your family or other people.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
•
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Persons using an implanted medical electronic device, such as
•
a pacemaker, should not allow this unit to touch the skin where
the medical electronic device is implanted because this may
cause a malfunction.
Charging the shaver
Never use the AC adaptor in the bathroom or shower room.
•
Do not use any power cord or AC adaptor other than this AC
•
adaptor (RE7‑59).
Plug in the AC adaptor into a household mains socket where
•
there is no moisture and handle it with dry hands.
Hold the AC adaptor when disconnecting it from the household
•
mains socket. If you tug on the power cord, you may damage
it.
The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged,
•
the AC adaptor should be scrapped.
Cleaning the shaver
Warning
Disconnect the power cord from the shaver before
cleaning it in water 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.
Clean the housing only with a soft cloth slightly dampened
•
with tap water or soapy tap water. Do not use thinner, benzine,
alcohol or other chemicals.
2
Storing the shaver
•
Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use.
•
Do not store the shaver where it will be exposed to direct
sunlight or other heat sources.
•
Disconnect the power cord when storing the shaver.
•
Do not bend the power cord or wrap it around the shaver.
•
Keep the oil away from children.
Self-cleaning recharger
•
Do not clean the AC adaptor or the self
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 up spills immediately.
The self‑cleaning recharger cleans the inner blades and the
•
system outer foil. Brush or wash with water to remove beard
trimmings in other areas.
Use the self‑cleaning recharger in humidity less than 95%.
•
Depending on the environment, the shaver may not dry even if
•
you select the “Dry/Charge” course. In this case, wipe off any
drops of water with a dry cloth.

detergent may spill if the detergent cartridge
is tilted too much.)
Precautions for the detergent cartridge

Only use to clean the blades of electric shavers.
•
Carry out emergency measures if the Cleaning agent enters
•
mouth or eyes, and consult a doctor.
Attach the detergent cartridge.

illuminated.
The expiration date of the cleaning liquid is 6 months after it is
•
opened. If you do not use the cleaning liquid for more than 6
months, throw away the detergent cartridge and the cleaning
liquid.
Only use self‑cleaning recharger detergent for Panasonic
•
shavers.
Always change the detergent cartridge and the cleaning liquid
•
in the water tank at the same time. Adding water, or changing
just the detergent cartridge or the water, will result in
deteriorated cleaning functions.
If you operate the self‑cleaning recharger, the concentrated
•
detergent in the detergent cartridge dilutes and the water inside
the tank will become a cleaning liquid.
