Repair and Refurbished Goods
or Parts Notice
Unfortunately, from time to time, faulty products are manufactured which need to be returned to the
Supplier for repair.
Please be aware that if your product is capable of retaining user-generated data (such as files stored on a
computer hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile telephone, songs stored on a portable media
player, games saved on a games console or files stored on a USB memory stick) during the process of
repair, some or all of your stored data may be lost. We recommend you save this data elsewhere prior to
sending the product for repair.
You should also be aware that rather than repairing goods, we may replace them with refurbished goods
of the same type or use refurbished parts in the repair process.
Please be assured though, refurbished parts or replacements are only used where they meet ALDI’s
stringent quality specifications.
If at any time you feel your repair is being handled unsatisfactorily, you may escalate your complaint.

Safety and maintenance
Operating safety
• Do not let children play with electrical appliances without
supervision. Children are not always aware of potential
hazards.
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Therefore keep the
product, the remote control and the batteries out of reach of
babies and small children. If a battery is swallowed, please
seek medical assistance immediately.
• DANGER! Keep plastic packaging out of reach of children.
There is a risk of suffocation.
• This product is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities
or by people who lack the experience or knowledge to use it,
unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their
safety or have been instructed on its use. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.
• WARNING! In the interests of safety, never open the housing
of the loudspeaker panel, the subwoofer or the mains
adapter/mains plug! There is a risk of electric shock if the
mains adapter housing is open. There are no parts requiring
maintenance.
Power supply
• The sockets must be close to the product and easily accessible.
Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or
tripped over.
• Unplug the loudspeaker panel and the subwoofer at the
mains in order to disconnect the power supply to the product.
Always pull on the mains adapter/mains plug itself when
removing it from the socket. To prevent damage, never pull on
the cable.
• When not in use, unplug the loudspeaker and the subwoofer
at the mains or use a master-slave power strip to prevent
power consumption when switched off.

• Run the mains adapter on the loudspeaker panel and the
mains plug on the subwoofer in earthed 240V ~ 50Hz sockets
only. If you are not sure about the power supply at the set-up
location, please ask your power supplier.
• Do not cover the mains adapter on the loudspeaker and the
mains plug on the subwoofer in order to prevent them from
being damaged by overheating.
• Stop using the mains adapter on the loudspeaker and the
mains plug on the subwoofer if the product housing or lead
is damaged. Replace the mains adapter with one of the same
type.
• Use the mains adapter supplied or one of the same
specification only (see “Technical data” on page 20),
otherwise damage might occur.
Installation location
• During the first few hours of use, new products may give off
a characteristic but totally harmless smell. This is unavoidable
and disappears over time.
To help reduce the amount of odour build-up, we recommend
that you ventilate the room at regular intervals. We have taken
appropriate measures during the development of this product
to ensure that levels are well below legal limits.
• Do not place containers filled with liquid, such as vases, on
or in the vicinity of the transmitter, subwoofer and mains
adapter. The container may tip over and the liquid may impair
the electrical safety of the product.
• Protect the transmitter, loudspeakers, subwoofer, mains
adapter and all connected devices from moisture, drips and
splashes. Avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to
prevent malfunction.
• Do not place naked flames, such as lit candles, on or near the
product.
• Do not place objects (e.g. newspapers, blankets, etc.) over the
mains adapter on the loudspeaker or over the mains plug on
the subwoofer in order to avoid overheating.
