CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch off the device. Then remove the battery (if any) from the device and
isolate the device from the mains voltage.
Cleanthedevicewithasoft,cleananddrycloth.Donotuseaggressivedetergentsorchemi-
cals as these can damage the housing (discolouration).
DISPOSAL
Device
Never dispose of devices bearing the symbol opposite in the household waste.
Youareobligedtodisposeoftheseusedelectricalandelectronicdevices
separately.

disposal passes used devices for recycling or other forms of reuse. This helps
preventharmfulsubstancesfrominltratingtheenvironment.
Batteries
As the end user, you have a legal obligation (battery regulation) to return all
usedbatteries;disposingofbatteriesinthehouseholdwasteisprohibited!
Batteries containing harmful substances bear the symbols opposite. These
symbols mean that disposal in the household waste is prohibited. The designa-
tions for the decisive heavy metal area: Pb=lead (designation on the battery,
e.g. below the dustbin symbols, bottom left).
Youcanreturnyourusedbatteriesfreeofchargetoyourlocalcollectionpoints,
