Panasonic ES-2216PC - Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver Manual

Before use

This Ladies 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. The following is the symbol of Wet shaver. The symbol means that hand-held part may be used in a bath or shower.

Our research has shown that you can enjoy closer and smoother shaves with the pivot action shaving system and the sharpest blades. And our pop-up trimmer will be able to cut longer hairs with ease. Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and notice the difference.
Cleaning is so simple. Just rinse out the shaving head under the tap or shower. No mess, no fuss!
Charge the shaver for at least 12 hours before using it for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than six months.

Charging

Charge the shaver fully for 12 hours before using it for the first time, when it seems to be losing speed, or when it has not been used for an extended period. If not used regularly, the shaver should be recharged every six months to preserve battery life.
Charging once a week is recommended. A full charge will supply enough power for about 7 shaves (three minutes per shave).
Switch the shaver off and set it firmly into the charging stand. Keep the stand level. Plug into an AC outlet. The charge indicator lamp will glow and it will stay on until the plug is removed from the AC outlet.

Using your device

The system outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if handled improperly. Before each use, always check the foll for damage. To avoid personal injury, do not use if the foil or other parts of the shaving head is damaged.

(see fig. 2 through 6)
Remove the protective cap and apply shaving lather generously. For the best results, move the shaver in back and forth motion, while keeping the shaver head at a right angle (90°) to your skin so that the two trimmers and outer foil work together at the same time. Slide the pop-up trimmer switch up when using the pop-up trimmer to cut long hairs (see fig. 2).

• Underarm (see fig. 3)
  Hold your arm up enough to stretch your skin and shave back and forth.
  
• Legs (see fig. 4)
  Be sure to move the shaver from ankle to knee.
  
• Arms (see fig. 5)

  1. To attach 3-position bikini comb, simply slide it onto the shaver head.
  2. Depress button to release comb when adjusting comb length.
  3. Slide the pop-up trimmer up when using the 3-position bikini comb.

Cleaning

(see fig. 7)
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 developing, and maintain the cutting performance.
With the outer foils in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foils.
Turn the shaver on and turn off after few seconds.
Next, press the outer foil frame release buttons to remove the outer foil frame and rinse the inner blade/outer foils under running water or in a basin.
DO NOT USE BOILING WATER.
After the inner blade/outer foils and the shaving head are dry, close the outer foil frame and place the protective cap.

Replacing shaving head

Components

It is recommended that you replace the outer foil at least once every year and the inner blade at least once every two years to maintain your shaver's cutting performance.

Replacing the outer foil

Press the outer foil frame release buttons to remove the outer foil frame (see fig. 8).

Then, squeeze the front and the back side of the foil frame and lift up one of the two knobs on the outer foil (see fig. 9).

Inserting the new outer foil

Slip the foil into the frame and guide the plastic edges onto the hooks into the frame until it clicks into the shaver.

Replacing the inner blade

(see fig. 10)
Squeeze the outer foil release buttons and lift the outer foil frame upward to remove it. Remove the inner blade by grasping it firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade at both ends and press downward until it snaps into the shaver.
