Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the shaver unit, automatic cleaning and charging station, AC adapter, pouch, shaver cleaning solution (ES-4L), dedicated oil, and cleaning brush.
- Charging Station Placement: Place the automatic cleaning and charging station on a flat, stable surface near an electrical outlet. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the station.
- Connect AC Adapter: Connect the AC adapter to the charging station and then plug it into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Initial Charge: Place the shaver into the charging station. The charging indicator will illuminate. Allow the shaver to charge fully before its first use. A full charge typically takes approximately 1 hour.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution (if applicable): If using the automatic cleaning function, follow the instructions provided with the shaver cleaning solution (ES-4L) to prepare and load it into the cleaning station's reservoir.
Operating
- Power On: Press the power button to turn on the shaver.
- Shaving Technique: Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin. Shave against the direction of hair growth for the closest results. The flexible 3D head will adapt to your facial contours.
- Wet/Dry Shaving: This shaver supports both dry shaving and wet shaving with foam or gel. For wet shaving, apply shaving foam or gel to your face before use.
- Trimmer Use: The shaver includes a pop-up trimmer for precise detailing of sideburns or longer hairs. Slide the trimmer switch upwards to engage.
- Power Off: Press the power button again to turn off the shaver after use.
Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning (Water-Through): After each use, turn off the shaver. Without removing the outer foil, rinse the shaver head thoroughly under running water to wash away stubble. Shake off excess water and allow it to air dry.
- Automatic Cleaning (with station): Place the shaver in the automatic cleaning and charging station. Select the cleaning cycle according to the station's instructions. The station will clean, dry, and charge the shaver.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a drop of the dedicated oil to the outer foils and inner blades to maintain optimal performance and extend blade life. Refer to the detailed manual for frequency.
- Blade and Foil Replacement: The outer foil and inner blades are wear parts and should be replaced approximately every year, or when shaving performance decreases. Use genuine Panasonic replacement parts (e.g., ES9013 for outer foil and inner blades set).
- Storage: Store the shaver in a cool, dry place, preferably in its pouch, when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
