Protection Class II

DANGER! This symbol denotes harmful electric voltage!

This symbol denotes further information on the topic.

DANGER! Personal safety

This appliance may be used by children older than 8 years as well as by persons with physical, sensory or mental impairments or persons without sufficient knowledge or experience, providing they are supervised or they have received instructions regarding the proper use of the appliance and they understand the associated risks. This device is not a toy. The product must not be cleaned or maintained by unsupervised children. Small parts can represent choking hazards. If small parts are swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Keep the packaging out of the reach of these people. Packaging material is no toy.

DANGER! There is a risk of suffocation!

DANGER! Operational safety

- Only connect the kitchen radio mains plug in a power socket which is easy to access so that it can be quickly disconnected in the event of a problem (smoke, burning smell). The mains socket used must be easily accessible at all times.

- The kitchen radio starts consuming power as soon as it is connected to the mains. It will consume some power even when not in use. We therefore recommend that you disconnect the kitchen radio from the mains if you are not using it for a long time, e.g. when you leave for a holiday. This minimises the risk of a fire or smouldering fire which is always a risk if an electrical device is connected to the mains. To disconnect the kitchen radio completely from the mains, disconnect the power plug from the mains socket.

- Do not use an adapter plug or extension cable which is damaged or that does not meet the required safety standards.

■ Never open the housing of the device. Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

DANGER! Please heed the following:

■ Do not hold the device with wet hands. There is a risk of electric shock!

■ do not place any fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or near the device.

WARNING! Batteries

Insert the batteries with the correct polarity. Refer to the diagram on the batteries and inside the battery compartment. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries and do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not mix battery types (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.). Remove the batteries when the device is not to be used for an extended period. Improper use could cause explosions or leaks.

Batteries must never be opened or deformed, as this could result in chemicals leaking out which could cause injuries. If the batteries have leaked, remove them to prevent damage to the device. You can wipe off any leaked battery fluid by using a dry, absorbing cloth. Always wear protective gloves! Avoid any skin contact. If the battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical aid. Batteries can represent choking hazards. Batteries are not toys! Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

DANGER! Cables

Do not hold the power cable with wet hands. There is a risk of electric shock! Unplug all cables by holding the plugs and never pull on the cables themselves. Never place pieces of furniture or other heavy objects on the cables and take care that they do not become damaged, especially at the plugs and sockets. Never install the cables around hot or sharp objects to avoid damaging them. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or electric shock. Check the power cable from time to time. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or a similarly qualified person. Never tie knots in a cable and do not tie them to other cables. All cables must be positioned so that nobody can trip over them or be obstructed by them.

ATTENTION! Repairs

Repairs are required if this device has been damaged in any way, for example if the device housing is damaged, if liquids or objects have penetrated the device or if the product has been exposed to rain or moisture. Repairs are also necessary if the device is not working properly or has been dropped. If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or strange smells, disconnect the device from the power source immediately. If this occurs, the device should not be used before it has been inspected by authorised service personnel. All repairs must be carried out by qualified service personnel. Never open the housing of the device. This will void your warranty.

CAUTION! Cleaning

Make sure the device is disconnected from the power source before cleaning. There is a risk of electric shock. Only use a clean, slightly dampened cloth to clean the kitchen radio. Never use any aggressive liquids. For stubborn dirt, add a little detergent to the damp cloth. Do not attempt to open the housing of the device. This will void your warranty.

CAUTION! Operational safety

■ Before thunderstorms and/or when there is the danger of lightning, disconnect the kitchen radio from the mains. This will protect your kitchen radio from damage due to lightning strike. - The device is not designed for use in environments with high humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or excessive levels of dust.

CAUTION! Please heed the following:

■ no direct heat sources (e.g. radiators) affect the device, - no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device, - contact with water spray and drops and aggressive fluids is avoided and the device is never operated near water. Also, the device must never be submerged, and do not place any items containing liquids, such as drinks, vases, etc. on or near the device, ■ never place the device in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g. loud-speakers), ■ there are no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or near the device, ■ there is no penetration by foreign bodies, - the device is not subject to major great temperature fluctuations as this can cause condensation and short-circuits. If the device has been exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, wait for it to reach the ambient temperature before switching it on (about 2 hours). ■ the device is not subjected to excessive shocks or vibrations.
