Important
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 power cord or AC adaptor other than one
specically designed for this model. Use the RE7-51 adaptor
only for ES-RT51/ES-RT31 shaver. 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. Hold the adaptor 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 appliance should be scrapped.


Adequate ambient temperature for charging is 0-35 C.
For model ES-RT51, if the plug symbol does not glow initially
when the shaver is plugged in, wait for a short while until it
does.
For model ES-RT31, if the plug symbol does not glow initially
when the shaver is plugged in, wait for a short while until it
does.
