Before use

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. The appliance may not operate in an ambient temperature lower than approximately 0 °C.

Please contact an authorized service centre for the details of repair. 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 0-35 °C.

Cleaning the shaver
