Do not leave flat batteries in the appliance. Even batteries protected against leaking
can corrode and thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or
damage the appliance.
Batteries may not be charged, shorted out or thrown into fire. Batteries must not be
recharged. There is danger of explosion.
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause burns if they come
into contact with the skin. It is therefore advisable to use suitable protective gloves.
