tions of the appliance.

Store these instructions carefully and pass

them on to others as required.

To avoid life-threatening electric shocks:

•'Warning!: Electric shock. Do not ope-

rate the appliance if the power plug,

power cord or the appliance itself is

damaged.

• If the appliance has been dropped then

have it checked by a qualified electrician

before turning it back on.

•'Warning!: Electric shock. There are

dangerous live voltages inside the appli-

ance. Never open the housing or insert

objects through the ventilation slits.

• Make sure that no liquid enters inside the

appliance. In emergencies, immediately

pull the power plug.

• Also pull the power plug from the power

socket, if there are disturbances during

operation and before cleaning the appli-

ance.

• Do not make any changes or repairs to

the appliance yourself. The power cord

should also not be replaced. Repairs to

the appliance or to the power cord

should only be carried out by a specialist

workshop or in the service centre.

To avoid injury hazards:

•'Warning!: Incorrect repairs can result

in significant dangersfor the user.

liest.

• During a storm, appliances connected to

the mains may be damaged. You should

therefore always pull the power plug from

the power socket when there is a storm.

■Power failure protection

By inserting 2x Micro 1b5 V AAA batteries

(for KH 2292 under the appliance, for models

2293/94 at the rear in a separate compart-

ment), you can avoid that the functioning of

the appliance is interrupted in case of a

power failure and therefore avoid losing the

date, time and any alarm time set in the

appliance. The batteries ensure that the radio

alarm continues to run on an emergency

power supply even after there is a failure in

the mains. However, the LCD display does

not light up. When switching back on the

mains supply the correct time automatically

appears on the display.

Note: The alarm, radio and the LED display

do not function with the batteries.

Replace all of the batteries once a year.

■Cleaning/Disposal

■Cleaning

➢Always pull the power plug before clea-

ning.

➢Clean the casing using a slightly wet

cloth.

■Disposal

The packaging consists of 100% environ-

ment-friendly material that you can dispose

of via your local recycling location.

To dispose of electrical appliances that you

no longer require, please consult your local

authorities or city administration .

■Disposing of the batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of in

the household waste. Every consu-

mer is obliged by law to deposit all

batteries at a collecting point of his

community/his precinct or to return them to a

shop. The purpose of this obligation is to

ensure that batteries are disposed of in a

non-polluting manner.

Only return batteries when they are fully

discharged.
