Safety instructions 
• This device has not been designed for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities or
lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised
by a responsible person (for their own safety) or have received
instructions on how to use the device.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the device.
• In order to avoid the device being switched on unintentionally,
remove the adapter from the mains socket after each use and before
cleaning.
• Check the device and all parts for visible damage. The device’s
safety concept can only work if the device is in perfect condition.
• The mains adapter must always be freely accessible so that the device
can be separated from the power supply quickly in an emergency.
Risk of electric shock!
• Only connect the device to a properly installed and earthed
mains socket. The mains voltage must agree with that stated on the
device’s specification plate.
• Damaged adapters or mains cables should be exchanged
immediately by an authorised technician or the Customer Service
in order to avoid risks.

• Connection cables or devices that do not work perfectly or have
been damaged should be repaired or exchanged immediately by
Customer Services.
Never immerse the device in water!
Simply wipe it with a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not expose the device to rain or use it in a damp or wet
environment.
• Ensure that the connection cable is never wet or damp when in use.
• You must not open or repair the device’s housing. This can be
dangerous and renders the warranty null and void.
• Protect the device from moisture and sprayed water. Therefore do not
place any objects filled with water (e. g. vases) on or near the device.
 Electro-magnetic fields
This appliance complies with the legal limits for electric smog, even
within the casing!
However, if you still have doubts about installing it in the bedroom:
• Place the appliance about half a meter from the bed.
At this distance the electro-magnetic fields are no longer effective even
for electro-sensitive people itself.
Risk of fire!
• Do not use the device near hot surfaces.
• Do not set the device up where it is exposed to direct sunlight. This
could cause it to overheat and damage it beyond repair.
• Never leave the device unattended during operation.
• Never cover the device’s ventilation slots when it is switched on.
• Do not place open flames, such as candles, on or near the device.

 Note:
This appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber feet. Furniture upper
surfaces comprise of various materials and are cleaned with various types
of polishes and/or cleaning agents. Thus it cannot be completely
excluded that some of these substances contain components that could
attack the rubber pads and soften them. If necessary, place an anti-slip
mat under the rubber pads of the appliance.
 Note:
In certain countries there could be exceptional regulations for the
allocated radio frequency ranges.
Take note that you may not exploit possibly received radio services, pass
them on to third parties or im-properly misuse them.
Risk of injury!
• Keep children away from the connection cable and device. Children
frequently underestimate the danger of electrical devices.
• If the device has fallen down or is damaged it must no longer be
used. Have the device checked by a qualified specialist and, if
necessary, repaired.
• Batteries must not be handled by children. Children can put batteries
in their mouths and swallow them.
If a battery has been swallowed, obtain medical assistance
immediately.

If the product does not work properly due to electrical fast transient
processes (voltage surges) or electrostatic discharge, it must be reset to
restore normal operation. If necessary, remove the plug from the power
socket and insert it again. The batteries (if used) must be removed and
reinserted.
Notes on handling batteries
The device uses batteries. Please note the following on handling

• only with the power adapter.
Inserting the batteries
You require four 1,5 V batteries of the type Mignon/AA/LR6.
1. Open the cover of the battery compartment on the underside.
2. Insert the four batteries, ensuring their position-ings comply with the
polarity markings given in the battery compartment.
Make sure that the black textile strip is positioned under the batteries,
this will make a battery exchange easier.
