Storing setting discs
The setting discs are magnetic. Keep the setting discs away
from magnetic data media, such as video cassettes, diskettes,
credit cards or cards with magnetic strips. The data these
contain could otherwise be wiped. They can also cause
interference in television sets and monitors.
ã=
For wearers of electronic implants, e.g. pacemakers or
insulin pumps.!
Implants could be affected by magnetic fields. You must
therefore never carry the setting discs in your pockets. They
must be kept at least 10 cm from pacemakers.
Note:
The setting discs are magnetic. Small metal parts which
attach themselves to the underside can scratch the surface of
the glass ceramic and front moulding. Always wipe and clean
the setting discs thoroughly.
