Thoroughly clean the appliance and store it in
a dry place.
11.1 Storage of battery and charger
DANGER!
Danger of explosion and fire!
Persons will be fatally or severely injured
if the rechargeable battery explodes be-
cause it was stored in front of naked
flames or heat sources.
■
Store the rechargeable battery in
cool and dry conditions, but not in
front of naked flames or heat sourc-
es.
NOTE
When charging, the rechargeable bat-
tery is protected from overcharging due
to automatic detection of the charge sta-
tus and thus can remain connected to
the charging unit for some time, but not
permanently.
■
Store the rechargeable battery in a dry, frost-
free place at an ambient temperature be-
tween 0°C and 35°C and with a charge state
of approx. 40 - 60%.
■
Do not store the rechargeable battery in the
vicinity of metallic objects or of objects con-
taining acid to avoid the risk of short-circuit.

Recharge the rechargeable battery for ap-
prox. 1 hours after approx. 6 months’ stor-
age.
