• Only use the appliance with the appropriate connector.
• Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
• Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds
to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
• Do not coil the cord around the base during use.
• Keep the main cord, the base and the kettle away from
hot surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface (e.g.
a serving tray), as this could cause water to accumulate
under the appliance, resulting in a hazardous situation.
• When using this appliance, provide adequate air space
on all sides for circulation. Do not use under cabinetry.
• Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the
kettle contains hot water and when pouring the kettle.
• Do not touch the body of the kettle during and some time
after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift the kettle by its handle.
• Do not remove lid while the water is heating up or boiling.
Be careful when you open the lid immediately after the
water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the kettle is
very hot.
• Do not place anything on top of lid.
• Always have lid on when kettle is in use.
• This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 12 amps from the
power supply in your home. Make sure that the electrical
system in your home and the circuit to which the kettle is
connected can cope with this level of power consumption.
Do not let too many other appliances draw power from the
same circuit while the kettle is being used.
• Only use the kettle in combination with its original
induction base.
• Do not attempt to use induction base to heat any other
appliance or object, as this will cause damage to the base.
• Do not connect the appliance to an external switching
device such as a timer and do not connect it to a circuit that
is regularly switched on and off by the utility. This prevents a
hazard that could be caused by inadvertent resetting of
the thermal cut-out.
• Always place base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable
level surface.
• The kettle is only intended for boiling water to make hot
beverages.
• Depending on the hardness of the water in your area,
small spots may appear in your kettle when you use it.
This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the
heating element and on the inside of the kettle over time.
The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can
occur in different colors. Although scale is harmless, too
much scale can influence the performance of your kettle.
• Descale your kettle regularly by following the instructions
given in chapter ‘CL DESCALING’.
• Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle.
This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the kettle
has any defects.
• Never fill the kettle beyond the
maximum level indication
.
If the kettle has been overfilled, boiling water may be
ejected from the spout and cause scalding. Always fill
the kettle above the
minimum
level to prevent damage
on your kettle.
