• Only use the type of battery indicated in the battery compartment.
• Different types of batteries or new and used batteries may not be used together or
mixed.
• Never use batteries if they are dented, leaking or damaged.
• Remove leaking, deformed or corroded batteries from the appliance and dispose of
them properly with appropriate protective equipment. If a battery is leaking: avoid
contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If necessary, rinse affected areas with
water and seek immediate medical attention.
• Depleted batteries should be immediately removed from the appliance and disposed of
properly. Depleted batteries can corrode, releasing chemicals that damage your health
and the appliance. If you do not use it for a long time, remove the batteries from the
appliance to prevent them from leaking.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children. If you think that batteries have been
swallowed or placed in a part of the body, seek medical attention immediately.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the appliance before installing the battery.
• When installing the batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity. The orientation of
the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals of the battery must correspond to the + and
− on the battery compartment.
• WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION. Do not short-circuit batteries and do not immerse
them in liquids. This causes a risk of explosion, fire, heat, smoke and/or gas
development. Non-rechargeable batteries should not be recharged.
• Do not deform, burn or disassemble batteries and never drill with a sharp object.
Extreme heat can lead to explosion and/or leakage of corrosive fluid. Mechanical
damage can result in the release of gaseous substances, which can be highly irritating,
flammable or toxic.
• Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision.
• Store unused batteries in their original packaging, away from metal objects. If already
unpacked, do not mix batteries.
• If the battery has accidentally fallen into the water, remove it immediately. Put the
battery in a safe, open spot and stay away from it until it is completely dry. Do not
reuse the dried battery, but dispose of it as instructed in 8.4 Disposal of the batteries
as waste.

DANGER!
If there are any questions regarding the instructions for electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
• RISK OF FIRE! The appliance has thermal protection to prevent fire. To prevent
accidental resetting of this thermal protection, this appliance must not be connected to
an external switching appliance, such as a timer, or be connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by the energy supplier. There is a risk of fire if the
appliance is covered or not positioned correctly.
• RISK OF FIRE! Before use, check that the socket you want to use has no defects, that it
has earthing and an earth leakage circuit breaker connected in accordance with the
legal regulations. If this is not clear, contact a qualified electrician.
• Before use, check that the voltage on the socket you want to use matches that on the
type plate of the appliance (230V~50Hz). Damage caused by faulty voltage is not
covered by the guarantee.
