Repairs
• Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by a qualified elec-
trical technician. If improper repairs are carried out, the warranty lapses and
all liability is refused.
• Never operate the appliance if the adaptor or plug is damaged, after it has
malfunctioned, if it has been dropped or has been damaged in any other way
(cracks/breaks in the casing).
• Do not push any object into the appliance.
• If the appliance is beyond repair, make it unusable immediately by cutting
through the cable and hand it in at the collection point provided for the pur-
pose.
• In the event of a repair, the following points must be observed before the
appliance is shipped or taken to the dealer: completely empty the water
in the appliance (water tray or water tank), and allow the appliance to dry
completely. Appliances containing residual water may be damaged during
transport, invalidating the warranty.
Disposal
• Do not push any object into the appliance.
• Do not dispose of electrical appliances in the domestic waste. Please use
the communal collection points.
• If electrical appliances are disposed of thoughtlessly, exposure to the ele-
ments may cause hazardous substances to find their way into the ground-
water and from there into the food chain, or to poison the flora and fauna
for many years to come.
