temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40°C (104°F), where it will
9
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/ES8019/ES8020 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.
• Wash the shaver in tap water. Do
not use salt water or boiling water.
Also, do not use cleaning products
that are designed for toilets, bath-

with thinner, benzine or alcohol.
Clean it by using a cloth dampened
with soapy water.
• Do not take the housing apart as
this can affect the watertight con-
struction.
