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 damage. 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.

•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.
