Frequently Asked Questions - ES7017 PANASONIC

How to charge the Panasonic ES7017 shaver?

Place the shaver turned off (position 0) into the charging adapter. Plug the adapter into the mains. The red charging indicator lights up. Full charge takes about 1 hour and allows about 20 shaves of 3 minutes. The indicator flashes when charging is complete.

Can the shaver be used in the shower?

Yes, the shaver is waterproof and can be used in the shower for wet shaving or with shaving foam. It can also be cleaned under running water.

How to clean the shaver?

Apply liquid hand soap on the outer foil, turn on the shaver and pour water over it for 10 to 20 seconds. Turn off, remove the foil holder and rinse it under running water. Dry the shaver with a dry cloth and let the foil dry.

When should the foil and blades be replaced?

It is recommended to replace the outer foil every year and the inner blades every two years for optimal performance.

How long does the battery last after a charge?

A full charge provides enough energy for approximately 20 shaves (3 minutes per shave for a normal beard).

Can the shaver be used with shaving foam?

Yes, the shaver is designed for Wet/Dry use. Apply a thin layer of shaving foam on your face. Avoid a layer that is too thick which could reduce performance.

How to use the integrated trimmer?

Slide the trimmer handle until it clicks. Position the trimmer perpendicular to your face and move it downwards to cut sideburns.

What to do if the shaver does not charge?

Make sure the shaver is properly placed in the adapter and the switch is on 0. If charging does not start, leave it in the adapter for a few minutes and check again. The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C.

How to remove the battery for recycling?

Remove the cap, foil holder and inner blade. Unscrew the screws, remove the guides and bottom cover. Take out the chassis and remove the Ni-MH batteries. Dispose of them at an official collection point.

What are the important safety precautions?

Use only the RE3-88 adapter. Do not charge below 0°C or above 40°C. Do not expose to direct sunlight or moisture. Do not use the shaver if the foil or blade is damaged. Unplug by pulling the plug, not the cord.

Before operating this unit, please read these instructions completely.

Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver Model No. ES7017.

ENGLISH Page 5 NORSK Side 43

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. 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.

Charge the shaver for at least 8 hours before using it for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than six months.

Charging adaptor

(see fig. 1)

Lift the charging adaptor holder until it clicks in when charging the shaver. (see fig. 1(A))

(Restore the charging adaptor holder when carrying the unit.) (see fig. 1(C))

Rotate the stand on the bottom of the charging adaptor when you need extra stability. (see fig. 1(D))

Charging

(see fig. 2)

Place the charging adaptor upright on a flat surface or mount it on a wall. Plug the adaptor into an AC outlet.

It will adjust automatically to voltages

between 100-240V AC.

In some areas, a special plug adaptor may be required.

Switch the shaver to the "0 - charge" position and place it upright into the charging adaptor with the switch facing toward the front.

The charge status lamp will glow red when the shaver is placed in the correct position. It will flicker red when charging is completed.

At the same time, the battery capacity monitor will display the fully charged condition (see fig. 2 (A)).

The system will turn off about 10 minutes after charging has been completed (see fig. 2 (B)).

You can fully charge the shaver in one hour if the battery capacity monitor flashes down to the 20% level.

A full charge will supply enough power for about 20 shaves (three minutes per shave for a normal beard).

You can always store your shaver in the charging adaptor to maintain full power capacity. This shaver cannot be overcharged.

Before traveling, charge it fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the charging adaptor with you.

Using your shaver

Depress the switch lock button and slide the On/Off switch upward to turn the shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 3). 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 gen

tly increase the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.

System outer foil

(see fig. 4)

System outer foil has a slit blade (a) between two foils (b). They move up and down independently to follow the contours of your face.

The slit blade catches and cuts longer and lying hairs easily.

For wet shaving

Put a thin layer of shaving foam on your face which works as a lubricant. Shaving foam is the most suitable among many other shaving aids (gel, soap, cream, etc). Do not put a thick layer of shaving foam as it may affect the shaver's performance. If the shaving head is clogged with foam, simply rinse it under running water.

Using the trimmer

(see fig. 5)

Slide the trimmer handle up to the position until it clicks in.

Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns.

Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 6)

For cleanliness and convenience, we recommend that you clean your shaver with water and a liquid hand soap. Regular cleaning will keep your shaver in good condition while preventing odors or bacteria from devel

oping, and maintain the cutting performance.

With the system outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil.

Turn the shaver on and pour some water over the outer foil.

After about 10-20 seconds, turn the shaver off.

Remove the foil frame and clean it with running water.

Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and remove the protective cap to allow the system outer foil to dry completely.

Brush cleaning
