Safety information

• This device has not been designed for use

by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a responsible person (for their own safety) or have received instructions on how to use the device.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the device.

• In order to avoid the device being switched

on unintentionally, remove the adapter from the mains socket after each use and before cleaning.

• Check the device and all parts for visible da-

mage. The device’s safety concept can only work if the device is in perfect condition.

• The mains adapter must always be freely

accessible so that the device can be separated from the power supply quickly in an emergency.

• Do not expose the device to rain or use it in a damp or wet environment.

• Ensure that the connection cable is never wet or damp when in use.

• You must not open or repair the device’s housing. This can be dangerous and renders the warranty null and void.

• Protect the device from moisture and sprayed water. Therefore do not place any objects filled with water (e. g. vases) on or near the device.

Risk of fire!

• Do not use the device near hot surfaces.

• Do not set the device up where it is exposed to direct sunlight. This could cause it to overheat and damage it beyond repair.

• Never leave the device unattended during operation.

• Never cover the device’s ventilation slots when it is switched on.

• Do not place open flames, such as candles, on or near the device.

Risk of electric shock!

• Only connect the device to a properly installed and earthed mains socket. The mains voltage must agree with that stated on the mains adaptor specification plate.

• Damaged adapters or mains cables should be exchanged immediately by an authorised technician or the Customer Service in order to avoid risks.

• Connection cables or devices that do not work perfectly or have been damaged should be repaired or exchanged immediately by Customer Services.

Never immerse the device in water! Simply wipe it with a slightly damp cloth.

Risk of injury!

• Keep children away from the connection cable and device. Children frequently underestimate the danger of electrical devices.

• If the device has fallen down or is damaged it must no longer be used. Have the device checked by a qualified specialist and, if necessary, repaired.

• Batteries must not be handled by children. Children can put batteries in their mouths and swallow them. If a battery has been swallowed, obtain medical assistance immediately.

Thunder storms!

Devices connected to mains power can be damaged during a thunder storm. If there is a thunder storm, always remove the mains plug from the socket.

• If the appliance is not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries.

• If batteries leak, put on protective gloves.

• Clean the battery compartment and contacts with a dry cloth.

Information on voltage surges (EFT/electrical fast transient) and electrostatic discharges:

If the product does not work properly due to electrical fast transient processes (voltage surges) or electrostatic discharge, it must be reset to restore normal operation. If necessary, remove the plug from the power socket and insert it again. The batteries (if used) must be removed and reinserted.

Information on separating the device from mains power

The POWER button on this device does not completely separate it from the mains network. In addition, the device uses power when in standby mode. In order to completely separate the device from the mains supply the plug must be removed from the mains socket.

Notes on handling batteries

The device uses batteries. Please note the following on handling batteries:

Risk of explosion!

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not recharge batteries.
