Caution
• Do not charge the shaver where the
temperature is below 0
°
C (32
°
F) or
above 40
°
C (104
°
F), where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight or a
heat source, or where there is a lot
of moisture.
• Use only the included power cord
RE7-05 to charge the ES8017/
ES8018 shaver.
• Dry the shaver completely before
charging it.
• Keep the power cord away from wa-
ter and handle it only with dry
hands.
• Grip the plug when disconnecting
the power cord from an AC outlet;
tugging on the power cord may
damage it.
• Store the power cord in a dry area
where it will be protected from dam-
age.
• Do not pull, twist, or severely bend
the power cord.
• Do not wrap the power cord tightly
around the appliance.
• The outer foil is very thin. If han-
dled improperly, it can be easily
damaged. To avoid personal injury,
do not use the shaver if it has a
damaged foil or inner blade.

Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 6)
Warning – To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, discon-
nect the power cord from the
shaver and turn the shaver off be-
fore cleaning.
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 pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Turn the shaver on and pour some
water over the outer foil.
After about 10-20 seconds, turn the
shaver off.
Remove the foil frame and clean it
with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and remove
the protective cap to allow the sys-
tem outer foil to dry completely.
Brush cleaning
Squeeze the system outer foil re-
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it (see
fig. 7). Remove the inner blades one
at a time by grasping it firmly at both
ends and pulling it straight away from
the shaver (see fig. 8). Clean the
outer foils, the shaver body and the
trimmer with the long brush (see fig.
9). Clean the inner blades with the
short brush by moving it in the direc-
tion in fig.10(A). Do not use the short
brush to clean the outer foils.
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 shav-
er’s cutting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 7)
Squeeze the system outer foil re-
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in-
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
Replacing the inner blades
(see fig. 8)
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it. Remove the inner blade,
one at a time, by grasping them firmly
at both ends and pulling straight
away from the shaver. To insert the
new inner blade, hold the blade, one
at a time, at both ends and press
downward until it snaps into the
shaver.
