Caution
• 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 ES8044/
ES8043 shaver.
• Dry the shaver completely before
charging it.
• The shaver and adaptor will be-
come 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 disconnect-
ing 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 dam-
age.
• 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 emit-
ted from the television during use
or recharging, connect the adap-
tor to a different outlet.
• Do not touch the edge (metal part)
of the inner blade.
Failure to observe this may lead to
hand injuries.
• 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-
rooms or kitchen appliances. Do
not submerge the shaver for a long
time.
• Do not wipe any part of the shaver
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.
• Do not clean with water when the
shaver is connected to the power
cord.
• When cleaning the shaver with
water, do so with both the inner
blades attached. (Doing so with
only one of the inner blades at-
tached makes an abnormal noise
and may damage the shaver.)
9 10
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 foil frame 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 with-
out the foil frame.
Brush cleaning
Squeeze the foil frame release but-
tons and lift the foil frame upward to
remove it (see fig. 9). Remove the in-
ner blades one at a time by grasping
it firmly at both ends and pulling it
straight away from the shaver. Clean
the outer foils, the shaver body and
the trimmer with the long brush (see
fig. 10). Clean the inner blades with
the short brush by moving it in the
direction in fig. 11 (A). Do not move
the brush in the direction in fig. 11
(B), as it will damage the inner blade,
and its cutting performance. 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. 8)
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. 9)
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 it 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 it snaps
into the shaver.
