Help in the case of irregularities
IMPORTANT!
Always disconnect the mains plug before opening the appliance!
Small irregularities are often caused by mistakes made by the user and can be very often remedied by the user himself.
Should it not be possible to eliminate any irregularity you should get in touch with your specialist dealer or directly with the
THOMAS customer service department. In this case have the information to be found on the type shield ready to hand.

Cleaning and servicing
– Regularly remove the dust and dirt collection in the coarse dirt guard.
– Change the cartridge filter at the recommended intervals.
– Change the remote controller batteries after elapse of the stipulated number of working hours.
8.
Disposal
– Used radio receiver units, radio remote controllers and batteries have to be placed separately in a public collection
container or handed to your dealer.
As the final consumer you are statutorily obliged (Battery ordinance) to return all used batteries and rechargea-
bles; they must not be disposed of in the household refuse.
Batteries and rechargeables containing pollutants, for instance, are marked with the symbol on the left.
It refers to the prohibition of the disposal in the household refuse.
The designation under the symbol stands for the heavy metal which is paramount,
Hg
such as Hg = mercury; Cd = cadmium; Pb = lead.
You can hand in used batteries, rechargeables and button cells free of charge either at your municipality's collec-
tion points or anywhere where batteries / rechargeables / button cells are sold. In this way, you both comply with
the statutory obligations and make your own contribution to environmental protection.
– Cut off all mains cable to prevent misuse.
– Other parts of the appliance and packaging material are to be disposed of according to the valid regulations by the
municipal waste disposal company.
