IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

Please read these important safety advice notes carefully before you fix in place or use your kitchen radio for the first time and if necessary pass them on to third parties.
Fix your radio in place only with the mounting plate supplied.
Do not position the radio mounting plate directly over a hob or sink.
Connect the kitchen radio to a 230 volt / 50 Hz socket.
Keep the mains lead away from sharp edges or sources of heat (hob etc.). Position the mains lead and the wire aerial so that they do not cause a trip hazard.
Never use the equipment if it is damaged or not working properly. Do not unscrew the radio housing. If the radio becomes defective, have it checked over and repaired at a service centre.
To avoid causing injuries and damage, ensure that defective mains leads are repaired by a competent tradesman. Never operate the equipment with a damaged mains lead or plug.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by misuse of the equipment or the non-observation of these safety advice notes.
Do not allow the radio to come into contact with moisture. If this happens there is the danger of electric shock. Therefore you must not operate the radio with wet hands.
Similarly, the radio must not be exposed to water splashes or spray.
If the radio is used as a stand alone unit, do not place any water-filled objects (e.g. vases) or sources of open flame (e.g. candles) on top of it.
In the event of a thunderstorm we recommend that you remove the plug from the mains socket.
Keep the batteries away from children and do not throw the batteries into a fire.
Dispose of exhausted batteries in an environmentally-friendly manner. Shops that sell batteries have appropriate containers for old batteries. They can also be disposed of at a public collection facility.

PREPARATION / MOUNTING

Find a suitable place to attach your kitchen radio.

You can use the underside of a wall cupboard, shelf or similar for fixing. To protect the radio from moisture and heat, do not mount it directly over a hob or sink.

Of course you can also use the kitchen radio as a stand-alone device on a shelf etc.

1) Slide the mounting plate ⑤ towards the rear of the radio and then lift it off.
2) Hold the plate in place at the mounting position. Ensure that there is approx. 8mm free at the front edge so that the radio can be fitted later. Make sure that the correct side is at the front.
3) Mark the four positions for the holes.
4) Make suitable holes, e.g. with a punch.
5) Screw on the mounting plate (see Fig.).

Power failure backup:

The power failure backup batteries ensure that the time and wake-up time settings are preserved during short-term power failures. You require a 9 V block battery.

1) Slide the battery compartment cover to the side.
2) Connect the battery. Always pay attention to the correct polarity.
3) Close the battery compartment cover.

Fixing the radio in position:

• Place the radio on to the mounting plate and slide it to the rear.

Power supply:

• Insert the plug into a 230V / 50Hz supply socket.

Wire aerial:

• Unwind the wire aerial fully and fix it in place using e.g. adhesive tape.

RADIO

Switching on the radio: Slide the On/Off switch 4 into the RADIO ON position. A dot 9 lights up on the display 4 to indicate that the radio is switched on.

Band selection: Use the band selector to select the band (FM = VHF, AM = MW).

Station selection: Set the radio to the required station using the STATION selector ⑥. You can read the frequency set on the scale ③. It may be necessary for you to adjust the position of the aerial. When you find good reception, you can fix the aerial in place with some adhesive tape.

Volume adjustment: Use the volume control to change the volume.

TIMER

• Your kitchen radio has an integrated timer. You can set any time you like between 1 minute and 1 hour and 59 minutes. Time is counted down and the remaining time is shown in the display

Setting the time:

1) First of all make sure that the RADIO switch is set to ON or OFF (and not to AUTO!).
2) Slide the timer switch 18 to ON.

First the display 4 shows a standard value of 0.59 - which means a countdown period of 59 minutes.

3) To increase the countdown period press the hours button ①. The display ④ now shows t:53 - this is the maximum countdown period.
4) To change the minutes setting, press the minutes button 10. As you hold down the minutes button 10, the minutes are automatically decreased. Release the minutes button 10 when the required countdown period is shown.

Stopping the timer:

1) When the set countdown period has elapsed, the radio sounds a tone.
2) To switch off the tone or to terminate the countdown timer before the end, slide the timer switch ⑧ to OFF. The display ④ returns to showing the current time.
