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 the 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
Do not use any charging adaptor other than one specifically designed for
this model (RE7‑53). Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet where
there is no moisture and handle it with dry hands. The shaver 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.
Adequate ambient temperature for charging is 0‑40 °C (32‑104 °F).
The charging adaptor is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or
floor mount position.
Cleaning the shaver
Warning ‑ Remove the shaver from the charging adaptor before cleaning
it to prevent electric shock.
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
Remove the shaver from the charging adaptor when storing it. 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. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place.
