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.
Bef
 oreuse
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.

We recommend using the shaver in an ambient temperature 
range of 5 ‑ 35 °C (41 ‑ 95 °F). If used outside this range, the 
appliance may stop operating.
Start out shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face. 
Stretch your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back 
and forth in the direction of your beard. You may gently increase 
the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to 
this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a 
closer shave.
Caution
If you press the power switch for more than  seconds, the 
sonic vibration cleaning mode is activated.

You cannot shave in this mode.
Do not place your fingers on the power switch while using the 
shaver. This may cause the shaver to turn off or enter the sonic 
vibration cleaning mode. Place your thumb on the thumb rest 
while using the shaver.
