Kitchen Scales KE 1602 Intended Use The scales are designed for weighing food and objects in the home in the quantities that are usual in that context. The maximum load capacity of 5 kg must not be exceeded. The scales are unsuitable for commercial use, e.g. in bakeries, restaurants, etc. Safety These scales can be used by children 8 years of age and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the scales and understand the dangers that may arise. Children must not play with the scales. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised. Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. You should therefore keep the batteries and scales out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately. DANGER for children Keep children away from packaging material. Risk of choking if swallowed. Also beware that children do not pull the packaging material over their heads. RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery using only the same or an equivalent type of battery. Pay attention to the “Technical Data”. Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into re, or short-circuited. Otherwise there is an increased risk of explosion and of leakage; furthermore, gases may escape. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucosa. If you come into contact with battery acid, ush the aected site immediately with plenty of clean water and see a doctor promptly. Druckbuch BLANCA.indb 14 01.03.2016 10:13:40Safety

Kitchen Scales KE 1602 WARNING against risk of injury If the scales fall and shatter, there is a risk of injury from glass splinters. BEWARE of material damage. Place the scales on a stable, even surface. Do not overload the scales. Pay attention to the “Technical Data”. Place objects on the scales exclusively for the purpose of weighing. Protect the scales from sharp jolts and vibrations. Remove the batteries from the scales if they have been used up or if you are not going to use the scales for a long time. You will thus avoid damage that may result from the leakage of battery acid. When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-). Do not subject the batteries to extreme conditions by, for example, storing them on heaters or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage! Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery. Only insert batteries of the same type; do not use dierent types or used and new batteries with each other. Do not make any modications to the scales. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user. Do not place the scales in the vicinity of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones, wireless devices, and the like. This can lead to incorrect display indicators or malfunctions. Do not place any objects on the scales when you are – for example – storing them in a cupboard. The sensitive measuring electronics in the scales could be damaged by heavy objects. There are feet on the underside of the scales. Since surfaces are made from various materials and are treated with diverse care products, the possibility cannot be completely excluded that some of these substances contain ingredients that attack and soften the feet of the device. If necessary, place an anti-slip underlay beneath the scales. English Druckbuch BLANCA.indb 15 01.03.2016 10:13:40At a glance (scope of delivery)
