							Operating Instructions
(Household) Rechargeable Shaver
Model No. ES‑LT71
Before operating this unit, please read these instructions completely and save them for future use. 
						

							
Thank you for choosing a Panasonic shaver. 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 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 sha
 ver. 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
CautionThe 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.
Terminate the usage when there is abnormality or failure.
Do not share with your family or other people.

• 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.
Persons using an implanted medical electronic device, such as 
a pacemaker, should not allow this unit to touch the skin where 
the medical electronic device is implanted because this may 
cause a malfunction.
Charging the shaver Never use the AC adaptor in the bathroom or shower room.
Do not use any power cord or AC adaptor other than this AC 
adaptor (RE7‑59).
Plug in the AC adaptor into a household mains socket where 
there is no moisture and handle it with dry hands.
Hold the AC adaptor when disconnecting it from the household 
mains socket. 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.
Cleaning the shaver
WarningDisconnect the power cord from the shaver before 
cleaning it in water 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.

Storing the shaverStore the shaver in a place with low humidity after use.
Do not store the shaver where it will be exposed to direct 
sunlight or other heat sources.
Disconnect the power cord when storing the shaver.
Do not bend the power cord or wrap it around the shaver.
Keep the oil away from children.
Self-cleaning recharger Do not clean the AC adaptor or the self
 ‑cleaning recharger in 
water as it will damage them or cause an electric shock.
Do not remov
 e the shaver from the self‑cleaning recharger 
while using a course that includes the “Dry” function. A heater 
is used so the area around the blades becomes extremely hot 
and you may burn yourself.
Place the 
 self‑cleaning recharger on a level and stable surface. 
Otherwise the cleaning liquid may spill and discolor leather 
products or other surfaces. Wipe up spills immediately.
The self‑
 cleaning recharger cleans the inner blades and the 
system outer foil. Brush or wash with water to remove beard 
trimmings in other areas.
Use the self‑
 cleaning recharger in humidity less than 95%.
Depending on the environment, the shaver may not dry even if 
you select the “Dry/Charge” course. In this case, wipe off any 
drops of water with a dry cloth.

2Hold the shaver as 
illustrated above and 
shave.
We recommend using the shaver in an ambient temperature 
range of 5 ‑ 5 °C. 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. 
Page 9  
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 fingers on the finger rest 
while using the shaver.

(lock).
You can change the pivot action whether 
the shaver is turned on or off.
Using the trimmer
Slide the trimmer handle up. Place 
at a right angle to your skin and 
move downwards to trim your 
sideburns.
Reading lamps when using

It will turn off approximately 5 seconds after operating the switch.•
When the battery capacity is low
“0%” blinks when operating the shaver.
You can shave  to  times after “0%” appears. (This will differ 
depending on usage.)
A full charge will supply enough pow er for approx. 1 shaves of 
 minutes each.

Care
Cleaning with the self-cleaning recharger
Preparing the self-cleaning rechargerRemove the shaver and the appliance plug from the self‑cleaning 
recharger.

3Pour tap water into 
the water tank.
Do not let the water rise above 
the maximum water line. This 
may cause the cleaning liquid 
to spill.

4Securely close the water tank cap and then 
attach the tank.

5Peel off the seals from the new 
detergent cartridge. (2 seals)
Hold the detergent cartridge horizontally. (The

Precautions for the detergent cartridge
Keep out of reach of children.
Only use to clean the blades of electric shavers.
Carry out emergency measures if the Cleaning agent enters 
mouth or eyes, and consult a doctor.

6Attach the detergent cartridge.
Replace the detergent cartridge when the status lamp is 
illuminated.
The expiration date of the cleaning liquid is 6 months after it is 
opened. If you do not use the cleaning liquid for more than 6 
months, throw away the detergent cartridge and the cleaning 
liquid. 
Only use self‑

cleaning recharger detergent for Panasonic 
shavers.
Always change the detergent cartridge and the cleaning liquid 
in the water tank at the same time. Adding water, or changing 
just the detergent cartridge or the water, will result in 
deteriorated cleaning functions.
If you oper
 ate the self‑cleaning recharger, the concentrated 
detergent in the detergent cartridge dilutes and the water inside 
the tank will become a cleaning liquid.
