• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Arrange for Customer Services to repair or re-
place connecting cables and/or appliances that
are not functioning properly or have been dama-
ged.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water.
Wipe it only with a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never
use it in a humid or wet environment.
• Make sure that the power cable does not become
wet during operation.
• Do not attempt to open the housing or to repair
the radio. Should you do so, appliance safety is
no longer assured and the warranty becomes
void.
• Protect the appliance against drip and spray wa-
ter. Do not place any water-filled vessels (e.g. flo-
wer vases) on or adjacent to the appliance.
Risk of fire!
• Do not use the appliance near hot surfaces.
• Do not locate the appliance in places exposed
to direct sunlight. If you do, it may overheat and
become irreparably damaged.
• Do not locate the kitchen radio directly above
hotplates. The kitchen radio may be damaged.
There is a danger of fire!
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in
use.
• Never cover the ventilation slots of the appliance
while it is being used.
• Do not place unprotected fire sources, such as
candles, on or adjacent to the appliance.
Injury hazard
• Keep children away from the power cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate
the dangers of electrical appliances.
• Provide for a safe location for the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has fallen or is
damaged. Have the appliance checked and re-
paired if necessary by qualified technicians.
• Keep batteries away from children. Children can
put batteries into their mouths and swallow them.
Note:
Some aggressive furniture finishes can have a
destructive influence on the device's rubber
feet. If necessary, place the device on a nonslip
pad.
Thunderstorms!
Equipment connected to a power supply can
be damaged during a thunderstorm. You
should therefore always remove the plug from
the power socket when there is a storm.
Notice regarding electrical power
surges (EFT / electrical fast tran-
sient) and electrostatic discharges:
In a case of malfunction due to an electrical
fast transient (power surge) and/or electrosta-
tic discharge, the appliance must be returned
to default settings in order to re-establish nor-
mal operation. Possibly the power supply must
be separated and then reconnected. The batte-
ries (if present) must be removed and then
reinserted.
