Safe use and care of your equipment
We have designed and made this product to meet European
safety standards, but as with any electrical equipment you
must take care to get the longest working life from it and stay
safe. Here are a few tips to help you do this.
Read these instructions carefully before you try to use the
equipment.
Protect the mains lead. You must ensure the mains lead
cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed or cut.
Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, high
humidity, strong vibration, extremely high or low
temperatures, strong sunlight and places which are very dusty.
Never let anyone, especially children, push objects into holes
and ventilation slots.
To save power switch off mains power or pull out the mains
power plug when you are not using the equipment, unless the
function of the equipment requires a continuous power
supply.
Don't continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids
in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it does not work
normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert
advice.
Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket during
thunderstorms.
This product is designed for domestic use only. Any other
use may invalidate the guarantee and might be dangerous.
Ventilation
Place the equipment on a hard flat surface away from direct
sunlight and heat sources. If it is in a cabinet, allow at least a
10cm gap all around. Don't obstruct the ventilation slots,
including those underneath, with soft furnishings.
Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and
increase the risk of fire.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened
soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents as
these may damage the cosmetic finish.
Batteries
Remove batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a
long time. Batteries left in equipment may cause damage
through deterioration and corrosive leakage, invalidating the
guarantee. To protect the environment please use local
recycling facilities for battery disposal.
Disposal
Waste electrical and electronic products must
not be disposed of with household waste.
Please refer to the retailer from whom you
purchased this item for disposal instructions.
Batteries and packaging materials can be
recycled using your local collection facilities.
