• Always take hold of the power cable by
the plug. Do not pull on the cable itself
and never touch the power cable with wet
hands, this could result in either a short cir-
cuit or you receiving an electric shock.
• Do not place the appliance, furniture or
anything else on the power cable and en-
sure that it does not become clamped.
• NEVER make a knot in the power cable
and do NOT bind it together with other
cables. The power cable should be
positioned so that no one can step on or
trip over it.
• Ensure that the power cable does not
become wet during operation.
• You are not permitted to open the appli-
ance housing or repair the appliance. If
the housing is opened, you run the risk
of receiving a potentially fatal electric
shock and the warranty lapses.
• Provide a stable location for the appli-
ance.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has
sustained a fall or is damaged.
• Arrange for the appliance to be checked
and/or repaired by qualified technicians.
• Keep batteries well away from children.
Children can put batteries into their
mouths and swallow them.
• If a battery is swallowed medical assist-
ance must be sought immediately.
Note:
• Some aggressive furniture finishes can
have a destructive influence on the appli-
ance's rubber pads. If necessary, place
the appliance on a nonslip pad.
Thunderstorms!
• Equipment connected to a power supply
can be damaged during a thunder-
storm. You should therefore always
remove the plug from the power socket
when there is a storm.
• Protect the appliance against drip and
spray water. Do not place any water-
filled vessels (e.g. flower vases) on or
near the appliance.
Notice regarding separation from
mains-power
Risk of fire!
• Do not use the appliance near hot sur-
faces.
• Do not install the kitchen radio close
to sources of heat such as radiators or
stoves. Otherwise, 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!
• Never leave the appliance unattended
while it is being used.
• Never cover the ventilation slots of the
appliance while it is on.
The ON/OFF switch does not com-
pletely disconnect the appliance from
the power network. Additionally, the
appliance consumes power when in
standby-mode.
To completely separate the appliance
from mains power, the power plug MUST
be removed from the mains power socket.
Notice regarding electrical power
surges(EFT /electrical fast

candles, on or near the appliance.
In a case of malfunction due to an electri-
cal fast transient (power surge) and/or
electrostatic discharge, the appliance must
be returned to default settings in order to
re-establish normal operation. Possibly
the power supply must be separated
and then reconnected. The batteries (if
