General operation
Maintenance and care
The unit is maintenance-free.
For proper care, a commercially available
cleansing fluid for electrical devices may
be applied using a soft damp cloth.
Your unit was designed and manufactured
with great care and should be treated with
equal care. You will enjoy your unit for a
long time to come if you observe the rec-
ommendations listed below:
• Protect your unit and the accessories
from water and moisture. If your unit
has been exposed to moisture, switch it
off immediately and disconnect the
power supply. Allow to dry at room
temperature.
• Do not store and operate your unit in a
dusty or dirty environment.
• Do not store your unit in hot environ-
ments. High temperatures can shorten
the service life of electronic components
in your unit, damage the rechargeable
batteries and cause certain plastics to
warp or melt.
• Do not store your unit in cold environ-
ments. During operation, when the
unit warms up to operating tempera-
ture, moisture may form internally,
causing damage to electronic compo-
nents.
• Do not drop your unit, protect it from
shocks and do not shake it. Improper
handling can damage components
within the unit.
• Never use corrosive or aggressive chem-
icals, cleaning solutions or aggressive
detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equally
to the unit, the rechargeable battery and
all accessories. Should one of these parts
not work properly, please contact your au-
thorised dealer.
DANGER
Danger to life by electrocution. Always
switch off the unit and disconnect the
mains power supply unit before clean-
ing the unit, supplied components or ac-
cessories.
Note:
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive
substances or cloths which may damage
the surface.
The unit must not be exposed to water.
