Frequently Asked Questions - ES2053 PANASONIC

How to charge the Panasonic ES2053 epilator?

Plug the charger into the epilator and a wall outlet. Charge for 12 hours (20 hours for first charge or after inactivity of more than 6 months). The charge indicator remains lit even after 12 hours.

Can the epilator be used in the shower or bath?

Yes, the epilator is waterproof and can be used for wet epilation. You can apply liquid soap to the discs to create foam. Never use the charger in the bathroom.

How to clean the epilator after use?

Turn off and unplug the device. Remove the frame by pressing the release button. Apply liquid soap, turn on the power and rinse under running water (not hot water). Dry with a dry cloth. You can also use the provided brush.

What is the battery life and how to replace them?

The Ni-MH batteries are built-in and not user-replaceable. Their lifespan depends on usage. For replacement, contact an authorized service center. For recycling, you can remove the batteries by following the disassembly procedure described in the manual.

Can I use the epilator on my face or intimate areas?

No. The epilator is intended for legs and arms only. Do not use on the face, underarms, bikini line (except with the bikini comb for shaving), nor on irritated skin, varicose veins, or lesions.

How to replace the ES2055 shaving head?

Hold down the head release button on the body, then remove the old head. Insert the new head and press until you hear a click. Make sure the head is properly locked in place before use.

What to do if the epilator does not turn on or does not charge?

Check that the charger is properly connected and the outlet works. If the charge indicator does not light up, wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center. Do not disassemble the device yourself.

How to get a close shave with the trimmer?

Use the shaving head on wet skin with liquid soap to allow the device to glide. For long hair, slide the retractable trimmer switch upward. Shave against the grain, pressing lightly so that the blade stays in contact with the skin.

How often should the foil and blade be replaced?

Panasonic recommends replacing the outer foil every year and the inner blade every two years, or as soon as you notice a decrease in performance. Use only genuine replacement parts.

Is the epilator noisy?

The movement of the discs generates normal noise. The sound level is approximately 69 dB(A) in epilation and 63 dB(A) in shaving, which is comparable to other similar devices.

2. Push the head until it clicks.

B Charging

Charging the appliance

1. Plug the charger into the epilator (a) and a household outlet (b).
2. Charge the appliance for approximately 12 hours. (The charging light stays on even after 12 hours.)

- The epilator can be used for approximately 30 minutes after 12 hours charge.

• When the appliance is being charged for the first time or when it has not been used for over 6 months, charge for approximately 20 hours.
• The charge light may not come on after a few minutes in some cases. However, it will come on eventually if you continue charging.
• The appliance can be left plugged in after it is fully charged without deteriorating the battery life.
• If the appliance is repeatedly charged before the batteries are completely discharged, battery life may deteriorate. (Memory effect)
• Charge and use the appliance in a temperature between 5 - 40 °C.

• The charger can be positioned in a vertical or horizontal position.

• This epilation head is for legs/arms, so do not use it to your underarms and bikini-line.

• Trim your hair before epilating for the first time or if you have not epilated for a long time.

• Wet your skin.

• Remove the cap.

• Wet the discs and place a small quantity of liquid body soap on the discs.

• Turn the switch on to the 1 or 2 position and then epilate. (1=low speed epilation/2=high speed epilation)

- Foam makes the epilator slide better, so you can move it fast. Always wash the discs well after use to remove any residual soap.

Dry epilation

You can also epilate without wetting your skin or the discs.

B

Using

For best epilation results

Apply the epilator at a right angle to your skin and press gently while moving it slowly against the hair growth.

- When using the appliance, pull your skin taut where the area is prone to sagging (on the inside of the knees and elbows).

- Rub your skin to lift short hair.

- Move the epilator with the side that has the foam keeper facing the front.

- Do not remove the frame of the epilation head.

- Do not use if your hair is longer than 5 mm.

- Reddening might appear for your first use. Cool towel will help if you feel pain or there is a rash.

- We recommend regular use of massage sponges or exfoliation to prevent ingrown hair.

Shaving

Wet/foam Shaving ES2055

1. Attach the shaver head.
2. Wet your skin.

- Shaving with soap lather makes the skin slippery for a closer shave.

- Do not use shaving cream, skin cream or skin lotion as it will clog the blades.

1. Turn the switch on to the 1 or 2 position.

(1=low speed shaving/2=high speed shaving)

• Hair removal is easier and less painful when the hair is short.
• Slide the pop-up trimmer switch up to cut long hair.
• Press gently so that the whole of the blade is in close contact with the skin and the surface of the blade does not move up and down.

Shaving the bikini line with the bikini comb

Place the bikini comb onto the shaver head and slide trimmer up.

- When the bikini comb is in place, make sure the comb is in close contact with the skin.

Dry shaving

You can also shave without wetting your skin or the discs.

B Cleaning

Cleaning the epilator

Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• Always unplug the charger from a household outlet and from the epilator before cleaning the appliance.
- Wipe the main body only with a dry cloth. The use of alcohol etc. might cause discoloration or deformation of the main body.
• Always attach the caps when storing the epilator.

Washing your epilator

Always clean the frames and discs after use to keep them in a hygienic state.

• Take care not to damage the skin protector during cleaning.

Cleaning your epilator with the supplied brush

You can also clean the epilation head and the shaver head (ES2055) with the cleaning brush.

Illustration of four steps of installing or adjusting a mechanical component, showing hand positioning and assembly (no text or symbols)

Replace the shaving foil and the inner blade when you notice reduced shaving performance. Never remove the outer foil of the shaver head for any other reason than to change it.

Removing the outer foil

While pushing the outer foil gently with the fingers, use a fingernail to release the plastic panel ⓑ on the blade from the catches Ⓐ on the inside of the frame.

Fitting the new outer foil

Hold the outer foil so that the surface with the plastic panel ⓑ (i.e. the surface that will come into contact with the inner blade) faces upward and then insert it into the frame so that the catches ⓐ on the frame fit into the holes on the foil.

• We recommend replacing the outer foil every year and the inner blade every two years.
