IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Basic safety precautions should always be taken when using electrical
appliances, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces including the heating element of kettle.
3. Do not open the lid when the water kettle is turned on, or the boiling water may
splash and cause serious burns.
4. Never turn on the water kettle when it contains no water or it may burn the
product and cause permanent damage. Make sure water meets or exceeds the
MIN WATER MARK.

overfilled it can eject boiling water.

water or any liquid. Make sure all electrical connections are kept clean and dry.

by or near children.
