Panasonic ES-LT7N - Rechargeable Shaver Manual

Intended use

• This WET/DRY shaver can be used for wet shaving using shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean with water. The following symbol means suitable for use in a bath or shower.
  

►Notes

• 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.
• Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with hard object. Doing so may damage the blades as they are very thin and deform easily.
• Do not dry the main unit with a dryer or a fan heater. Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of the parts.
• Do not leave the shaver exposed to direct sunlight with the foil frame detached. Doing so may deteriorate the waterproof rubber and degrade waterproof function, which may cause to malfunction.
• Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use. Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to condensation or rust.
• Do not leave the detergent in location of high temperatures. Doing so may cause deterioration.
• Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the inner blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged.
• If you clean the shaver with water, do not use salt water or hot water. Do not soak the shaver in water for a long period of time.

FAQ

Why does "Dry/Charge" mode take longer than "AUTO" mode?
The drying time for the "Dry/ Charge" mode is set longer as there may still be excess moisture on the grip or areas other than the system outer foil after the shaver has been rinsed and cleaned with water. On the other hand, the drying time for the "AUTO" mode is shorter since only the system outer foil is wet, which reduces the total time for the whole mode.

Can I refill the self‑ cleaning recharger with water when the cleaning liquid has decreased?
Do not refill with water. Replace the cleaning liquid.

Can the self‑cleaning recharger be used to wash other models?
This self‑cleaning recharger can only be used for the ES‑LT7N model. Doing so may cause malfunction, so do not use with other models.

Will the battery deteriorate if not used for an extended period of time?
The battery will deteriorate if not used for over 6 months, so make sure to perform a full charge at least once every 6 months.

Can I charge the shaver after every use?

The battery used is a lithium‑ion, so charging after every use will have no effect on battery life.

What is the constituent of the dedicated detergent?

Constituent of the detergent is non‑ionic surfactant agent, antimicrobial agent, lubricant, and fragrance.
