with a battery, which may become damaged if
it is exposed to high temperatures.
▶
Remove the sensor from the cookware and
store it away from any heat sources.

face can cause cuts.

heart pacemakers or insulin pumps.
▶
Persons with electronic implants must
stand at least 10 cm away from the mag-
netic control element.
