General Shaving Tips:

• For best results, shave before washing your face.
• Hold the shaver at a right angle (90 degrees) to your skin.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Shaver:

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

1. Turn off the shaver and unplug it from any power source.
2. Remove the outer foil frame.
3. Rinse the outer foil frame and the inner blades under cool running water until all hair clippings are removed.
4. Shake off excess water and allow the parts to air dry completely before reassembling.
5. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

The shaver can be easily rinsed under running water for cleaning.

Blade and Foil Replacement:

For continued optimal shaving performance, it is recommended to replace the outer foil and inner blades periodically. The lifespan of the blades can vary depending on usage, but typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. Refer to Panasonic's official website or authorized retailers for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Panasonic ES-RM3B-K shaver, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Shaver does not turn on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. Check the USB-C cable and power source for proper connection. The travel lock feature might be activated; press and hold the power button for a few seconds to deactivate it.
• Poor shaving performance: The blades and foils may be dull. Consider replacing them if they have been in use for an extended period. Ensure the shaver head is clean and free of hair clippings. Apply gentle pressure and shave against the grain.
• Skin irritation: Ensure your skin is clean before shaving. Use a wet shave with gel or foam to reduce friction. Avoid applying excessive pressure. Allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver over a few weeks.
• Charging issues: Verify that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the shaver and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Panasonic customer support for further assistance.
