Safety instruction: Batteries
DANGER!
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not short-circuit batteries and do not immerse them in liquids. This
causes a risk of explosion, fire, heat, smoke and/or gas development.
Fire hazard due to short circuit.
• Different types of batteries or new and used batteries may not be used together.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the appliance before installing the battery.
• If the battery has accidentally fallen into the water, remove it immediately. Put the battery in a
safe, open spot and stay away from it until it is completely dry. Do not reuse the dried battery,
but dispose of it as instructed in Dispose of the batteries as waste.
Risk of chemical combustion.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children. Ingestion of batteries can lead to chemical burns, soft
tissue perforation and severe burns. Serious burns may occur within two hours after ingestion.
Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a battery has been swallowed.
• Dispose of used batteries immediately. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If
you think that batteries have been swallowed or placed in a part of the body, you must seek
medical attention immediately.
• Remove leaking, deformed or corroded batteries from the product and dispose of them
properly with appropriate protective equipment. If a battery is leaking: avoid contact with
skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If necessary, rinse affected areas with water and seek
immediate medical attention.
• Depleted batteries should be immediately removed from the appliance and disposed of
properly. Depleted batteries can corrode, releasing chemicals that damage your health and
the appliance. If you do not use it for a long time, remove the batteries from the appliance to
prevent them from leaking.
• Do not deform, burn or disassemble batteries and never drill with a sharp object. Extreme heat
can lead to explosion and/or leakage of corrosive fluid. Mechanical damage can result in the
release of gaseous substances, which can be highly irritating, flammable or toxic.
• Do not allow children to replace batteries without adult supervision.
