SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver ES‑SL41. 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 usage when there is an abnormality or failure.
• Do not use excessive pressure to apply the outer foil to your
lip or other part of your face. Do not apply the outer foil directly
to blemishes or injured skin.
• Do not share your shaver with your family or other people.
Doing so may result in infection or inflammation.
• 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.
► Charging the shaver
• Never use the AC adaptor in the bathroom or shower room.
• Use the dedicated AC adaptor (RE7‑70) only. Do not use the
dedicated AC adaptor to charge other appliances.
• Put the plug into a household outlet where there is no
moisture and handle it with dry hands.
• Hold the plug when disconnecting it from the household outlet.
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.
• The AC adaptor is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position.
► Cleaning the shaver
Warning
Disconnect the plug from the household outlet before
cleaning 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.
• Do not wash the AC adaptor with water.
