1. Do not try to open the case of the PhotoMaker or
attempt to modify it in any way. Maintenance and repairs
should be performed only by Kaiser Baas.

2. Keep the PhotoMaker away from water and other liquids.

Do not use with wet hands. Moisture creates the danger
of fire and electric shock.

3. If you notice smoke or a strange odour coming from the

PhotoMaker, disconnect it immediately. Contact the Kaiser
Baas Support Centre to organise repair. Never attempt to
repair the PhotoMaker on your own.

4. PhotoMaker may become slightly warm during use. This

does not indicate malfunction.

5. If the exterior of the PhotoMaker needs cleaning, wipe it

with a soft, dry cloth.

1. Precautions

Before using the PhotoMaker, please ensure that you
read and understand the safety precautions described
below. Always ensure that the PhotoMaker is
operated correctly.
