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

Charging

Connect the power cord to the shaver, and plug the adaptor into an AC outlet. (see fig. 3) The shaver will be adjusted automatically to voltages between 100-240V AC. In some areas, a special plug adaptor may be required. When charging the shaver for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charge status lamp may not illuminate for a few minutes after operation. It will eventually illuminate if kept connected. Adequate ambient temperature for charging is between 15 to 35 C. If it is far below or over the appropriate temperature, the charging time may be extended, or the adaptor may not function. In particular, low temperature may shor ten the life span of the rechargeable battery. In this case, the charge status lamp blinks twice in 1 second. The charge status lamp will glow when the shaver is being charged. The battery capacity monitor will fully illuminate and the charge status lamp will blink after charging is completed (see fig. 2). 10 minutes after charging is completed, the battery capacity monitor will extinguish and the charge status lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 2).
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.

You can fully charge the shaver in 1 hour if the battery capacity monitor shows low. The battery capacity monitor indicates the charge remaining in the battery in 3 levels (high/mid/low). The unit can be used once or twice more after low starts to blink. (Differs depending on the use situation.) A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 14 shaves (3 minutes per shave for a normal beard). Before travelling, charge your shaver fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the adaptor with you. In case your shaver is without charge, you may quick charge it for 1 shave in about 5 minutes.

Do not place fingers on the On/Off switch during use. This may cause the shaver to stop during use or change it to the sonic vibration cleaning mode. Hold the shaver at a right angle (90) to your skin (see fig. 4). 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 gently 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. 5) System outer foil has a slit blade (a) between 2 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.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns.
Replacing shaving head components
It is recommended that you replace the system outer foil at least once a year and the inner blade at least once every 2 years to maintain your shavers cutting performance. Replacing the system outer foil (see fig. 8) Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. To insert the new system outer foil, press down until it snaps into place. Replacing the inner blades (see fig. 9) Squeeze the system outer foil release buttons and lift the system outer foil upward to remove it. Remove the inner blade one at a time by grasping each firmly at both ends and pulling straight away from the shaver. Do not touch the metal parts of inner blades. To insert the new inner blade, hold the blade one at a time at both ends and press downward until each snaps into the shaver. ATTENTION: A Lithium-ion battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle the battery.

Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 7) Warning To prevent electric shock or personal injury, disconnect the power cord from the shaver before cleaning with water. 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 system outer foil in place, apply some hand soap onto the outer foil. Push and hold the On/Off switch for more than 2 seconds to activate the turbo mode for sonic vibration cleaning. At the same time, the lamps of the Battery capacity monitor illuminate randomly. Pour some water over the outer foil. After about 20 seconds, it will be automatically turned off, or you can turn it off by pushing the On/Off switch. Remove the system outer foil and push the On/Off switch more than 2 seconds to activate the turbo mode for sonic vibration cleaning and clean it with running water. Wipe off any moisture from the shaver with a dry cloth and dry it without the system outer foil.

Using your shaver

Caution The system outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if handled improperly. Before each use, always check the foil for damage. To avoid personal injury, do not use if the foil or other parts of the shaving head are damaged. Disconnect the power cord from the shaver, and push the On/Off switch to turn the shaver on. If you push and hold the On/Off switch for more than 2 seconds, it will activate the turbo mode for sonic vibration cleaning. (see Cleaning your shaver) Caution: Shaving with sonic vibration may damage your skin. Please turn it off and on again to deactivate the turbo mode.

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 shavers performance. If the shaving head is clogged with foam, simply rinse it under running water.

Using the trimmer

(see fig. 6) Slide the trimmer handle up to open the trimmer.
WARNING for Lithium Battery: Fire, explosion, and severe burn hazard. Do not crush, disassemble, heat above 100C (212F), or incinerate. How to remove the built-in rechargeable battery before disposal of the shaver (see fig. 10) WARNING: Do not attempt to replace the battery for the purpose of reusing the shaver. This could result in the risk of fire or electric shock. The battery in this shaver is not intended to be replaced by consumers. However, the battery may be replaced at an authorized service center. The procedure described below is intended only for removal of the rechargeable battery for the purpose of proper disposal. 1. Disconnect the power cord from the shaver when removing the battery. 2. Remove the bottom cover screw (a). 3. Remove the trimmer (b). 4. Slide the back panel (c) and remove it. 5. Remove the side panel (d). 6. Remove the three housing screws (e). 7. Remove the housing (f). 8. Lift the battery (g) and remove it.
Caution To prevent personal injury or damage to the product,
Do not charge the shaver where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or a heat source, or where there is a lot of moisture. Use only the included adaptor RE7-27 to charge the ES8807 shaver. Dry the shaver completely before charging it. The shaver and adaptor will become slightly hot during use or charging, however, this is not a malfunction. Keep the adaptor away from water and handle it only with dry hands. Grip the adaptor when disconnecting it from an AC outlet; tugging on the power cord may damage it. Store the adaptor in a dry area where it will be protected from damage. Do not pull, twist, or severely bend the power cord. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance. If the power cord gets damaged, it alone can not be replaced. Contact an authorized service center. In cases where static noise is emitted from the television during use or recharging, connect the adaptor to a different outlet. Do not touch the edge (metal part) of the inner blade. Failure to observe this may lead to hand injuries.
