WARNING - KEEP THE BATTERY FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

A swallowed battery can cause injury or even death.

If you suspect a child has swallowed a battery, seek medical advice immediately (Australia: Poisons Information Centre, Tel. 13 11 26; NZ: National Poisons Centre, Tel. [phone]).

Examine the remote control and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screws are tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure or the casing of the remote control is damaged.

Store new and used batteries in a safe place. Even flat batteries can still be dangerous.

Dispose of used batteries immediately and safely in a suitable recycling box for batteries.

Cleaning the remote control

■ Only clean the surface with a damp cloth. Do not use too much water to avoid moisture penetrating the casing.

Changing the battery

Use only the type of battery listed. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

The remote control requires one 3 V CR 2032 battery.

The battery must be changed if cooker hood functions can no longer be selected using the remote control. If the control lamp on the remote control no longer lights up or lights up only weakly when a button is pressed, the battery is exhausted.

Cooker hood functions can still be selected using the controls on the cooker hood.

■ Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the back and remove the cover.
■ Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Make sure the polarity is correct.
■ Refit the cover and secure with the two screws.
