How to install batteries in the Panasonic ER-GN300 trimmer?

Make sure the power is off. Pull the battery cover to remove it. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries (LR03) respecting the polarities (⊕ and ⊖). Close the cover. Preferably use Panasonic LR03 batteries.

Can the trimmer be used under water?

Yes, the device is washable under water. For quick cleaning, open the water inlet by turning the wash switch ring until the '○' mark aligns with the '丨' mark, then rinse under running water. For thorough cleaning, remove the blade and the trimmer case and rinse separately.

How to clean the trimmer blade?

After use, you can clean the blade in two ways: 1) Cold cleaning: wet the blade, apply liquid soap, run for 10 seconds, then rinse. 2) Cleaning with the brush: remove the blade and case, brush gently without deforming the inner blade. Avoid hot water and solvents.

How to replace the trimmer blade?

Make sure the power is off. Turn the outer blade to remove it. Pull the inner blade. Insert the new inner blade along the inner surface of the outer blade, then insert the shaft of the main body. Align the marks and turn to fix the outer blade.

The trimmer doesn't cut well anymore, what to do?

Several possible causes: 1) The batteries are low: replace them with new ones. 2) The blade is dull: replace the blade. 3) The blade is dirty: clean it thoroughly. 4) The trimmer case is clogged: clean it.

Can the trimmer be used to cut long beard hair?

This device is designed to cut nose, ear, eyebrow, mustache, and beard hair, but it does not allow adjusting the cutting length. It is suitable for hairs at least 0.5 mm. For longer beard, another device is recommended.

How long do the trimmer batteries last?

With two AAA Panasonic LR03 alkaline batteries, the battery life is approximately 6 months with weekly use (once a week, 90 seconds per use) at room temperature of 20 °C.

Is the device waterproof?

The device is not completely waterproof but it can be cleaned under water thanks to a water inlet. Make sure not to fully immerse the device and to close the water inlet after cleaning. The battery cover must not be removed.

What types of batteries not to use?

Use only AAA alkaline batteries (LR03). Do not use rechargeable batteries, as they may not provide sufficient power. Do not mix new and used batteries, or different brands. Remove the batteries if you do not use the device for a long time.

How to open and close the water inlet?
