explosion.
∙ Never replace the rechargeable battery with other rechargeable batteries or other
non-rechargeable batteries. Only use identical rechargeable batteries. Never
short-circuit rechargeable batteries, i.e. never touch both poles at the same time,
especially not with objects that conduct electricity. Store rechargeable batteries so
that they cannot be short-circuited by other rechargeable batteries or metal objects
during storage.

delivery. Never charge the rechargeable battery with another mains adapter. Only
use the mains adapter included in the delivery to charge the rechargeable battery
of this appliance.

the rechargeable battery to an appropriate collection point nearby without delay,
thus ensuring safe and environmentally-appropriate disposal. Never dispose of the
rechargeable battery in household waste.
∙ Before removing the rechargeable battery, make sure that the mains adapter is
unplugged from the socket.
∙ Never take the rechargeable battery apart, expose it to high temperatures or throw
it onto fires.
∙ In case of improper handling, liquid can escape from the rechargeable battery. Do
not use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or if it is leaking liquid.
