DANGER due to electricity
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician to avoid
a hazard or the product must be disposed.
* The power base, plug and mains cord must not come into contact with water or other liquids.
There is a risk of electric shock. You should therefore, for example, not place the
kettle near a sink. Do not use the kettle outdoors exposed to weather.
* The appliance must never be immersed in water or other liquids. Water must not be allowed to
come in contact with electric parts from underneath.
* Do not use the appliance when your hands are wet.
* The kettle must only be connected to a properly installed and earthed wall socket with the
voltage that matches the “Technical specifications” of the appliance.
* Use of extension cords is not recommended.
* Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
* Keep the appliance and mains cord away from sources of heat such as cooking plates or
open gas flames. This could cause melting on the power cord.
* Keep the mains power cord away from sharp work surface or edges to prevent damage to the
power cord.
* Unplug the kettle from mains power, …
… if an abnormality occurs during use,
… if you are not going to use it for a prolonged period,
… during thunderstorms and
… before cleaning it.
When doing so, always pull from the plug, not from the mains cord.
*
Do not use the appliance if the kettle, base or mains cord show any visible sign of damage.
* Do not make any modifications to the appliance and its mains cord or change the
connection cable yourself.
* For electrical safety, any repairs to the kettle must be carried out by qualified electrical
person only or the kettle must be disposed.
