SPECIAL SAFETY MEASURES
Do not touch hot surfaces of the appliance. Do not
touch outer surfaces of the kettle with the excep-
tion of the heat insulated handle, when water is
boiling or with hot water inside the device.
Allow kettle to cool prior to cleaning and storing.
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity sup-
ply before prolonged storage, filling it with water/
emptying it or moving it from one place to another.
The appliance should always be placed on and used on a heat resis-
tant, horizontal and dry surface.
To avoid being burnt by hot vapor always close the lid tightly
before use. Avoid exposure to hot vapor.
WARNING! Never
open the lid immediately before or after boiling tem-
perature is reached.
Before turning the kettle on, make sure that water level does not ex-
ceed the maximum mark on the water level scale. Do not overfill the
kettle with water, otherwise it can splash out during boiling. Remem-
ber that the minimum quantity of water in the kettle is one cup.
Before switching the kettle on make sure the water level is be-
tween the minimum and the maximum mark at the water gauge.
The kettle is protected against overheating and if switched on with-
out water, an automatic safety cut out device will switch it off. If
the safety device is activated, allow the kettle to cool down prior
to boiling water in it. The kettle will not switch on if it’s too hot.
WARNING! Frequent switching the kettle on without
water might result in the safety device failure, that is why
prior to switching the kettle on always check the water
level. Always make sure the water level in the kettle is
not too low.
Always switch the kettle off prior to lifting it from the base.
Use the kettle only with the supplied base.
Do not fill a hot kettle with cold water or vice versa. WARNING!
Avoid sharp temperature fluctuations when filling the
kettle with water.
Connect the device only to an electrical supply with a protective
earthing. If your socket has no protective earthing, contact a quali-
fied specialist. Do not modify the plug and do not use cord adapt-
ers.
WARNING! Electric shocks might occur if the kettle is
plugged into an unearthed power supply.
Clean the heating element of the kettle often to de-scale it. Re-
member that use of a heavily scaled kettle might result in its mal-
function.
WARNING! De-scale the kettle using only spe-
cially designed cleaning agents.
Before turning the kettle on, make sure that the lid is closed; oth-
erwise the kettle will not turn off after boiling.
After use of the appliance, the base of the kettle might be wet. It is
a normal condition of operation, caused by escaping steam, used
to activate the kettle’s automatic turning off function.
Do not tilt the filled kettle backwards, since water can spill through
the steam vent. If this happens, the kettle should be wiped before
turning it on.
Do not take the electric cord out of the socket during operation of
the appliance. You should first turn it off.
