Important
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 the hand‑held part may be 
used in a bath or shower.
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.
This shaver body has a waterproof performance that is 
compliant to the “IPX5” and “IPX7”, and the adapter has a 
waterproof performance that is compliant to the “IPX4”.
Using the shaver
Caution
The outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if not used
correctly. Check that the foil is not damaged before using
the shaver. Do not use the shaver if the foil etc. is
damaged as you will cut your skin.
Charging the shaver
Do not use any power cord or AC adaptor other than one 
specifically designed for this model. Use the RE7‑51 adaptor 
only for ES‑RT51/ES‑RT31 shaver. Plug in the adaptor into a 
household outlet where there is no moisture and handle it with 
dry hands. The shaver may become warm during use and 
charging. However, this is not a malfunction. Do not charge the 
shaver where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat 
sources. Hold the adaptor when disconnecting it from the 
household outlet. If you tug on the power cord, you may damage 
it. The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, 
the appliance should be scrapped.
Adequate ambient temperature for charging is 0‑35 °C.
For model ES‑RT51, if the plug symbol   does not glow initially 
when the shaver is plugged in, wait for a short while until it 
does.
For model ES‑RT31, if the plug symbol   does not glow initially 
when the shaver is plugged in, wait for a short while until it 
does.
Cleaning the shaver
Warning
Disconnect the power cord from the shaver before
cleaning it in water to prevent electric shock.
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. Wipe it with a 
cloth dampened with soapy water. Do not use thinner, benzine 
or alcohol.
Storing the shaver
Disconnect the power cord when storing the shaver. Do not 
bend the power cord or wrap it around the shaver. This 
appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) 
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of 
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given 
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a 
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
