CHANGING THE BATTERY
CAUTION, risk of injury:
Keep your fingers away from
the buttons to prevent the
appliance from switching on
accidentally.
If LED 1 flashes briefly, this indi-
cates that the battery is defective
(see "Overview of LED dis-
play (6)") and must be replaced:
• Remove the hand blender (1)
from the charging station (13).
E
Loosen the 3 screws on the
battery cover (5) and lift it off.
F
Take out the battery by pulling
firmly on the battery tab (16).
G
Insert the new battery,
including the battery tab. When
doing so, ensure that you insert
the battery plug (17) fully into the
connector provided on the hand
blender. A small amount of force
is required for this purpose.
• Store the battery tab in such a
way that it remains accessible.
H
Put on the battery cover.
When doing so, ensure that
the lip on the battery cover fits
exactly into the slot provided on
the hand blender.
• Use the 3 screws provided to
secure the cover.
• Leave the hand blender in the
charging station until the battery
is fully charged (see "CHARG-
ING THE BATTERY"). The hand
blender comes supplied with a
partially loaded battery.
DISPOSAL
At the end of its service
life this product may not
be disposed of as part of
normal domestic waste.
It must be taken to a dedicated
collection point for recycling
electrical and electronic devices.
This is indicated by the symbol
on the product, the operating
instructions or the packaging.
The materials can be used
again in accordance with their
identification. The re-use,
material-sensitive recycling or
other forms of recycling of old
appliances enables you to make
a vital contribution to protecting
our environment.
Please consult with the disposal
office at your local authority.
Disposing of the hand blender
• Remove the battery
(see "CHANGING THE BAT-
TERY").
• Dispose of the hand blender in
accordance with the regulations.
• Dead batteries still contain
some residual energy. To prevent
short circuiting, you therefore
need to insulate the poles prior
to disposal, for example, with
insulating tape.
• Dispose of the old battery at a
battery collection point in accor-
dance with local and national
regulations.
