READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE KETTLE KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
• This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children, unless they are older
than 8 years and supervised.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of
children less than 8 years.
• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
Connecting to the mains supply:
• Check that the voltage marked on the appliance
corresponds with the supply voltage.
• NOTE: any plug cut from the power supply cord
should be disposed of immediately. Inserting any
cut off plug into a 13A socket-outlet is hazardous.
• Never use the plug without the fuse cover
fitted. Ensure replacement fuse is the same
current value as the original. Replacement fuses
are available and should be ASTA approved to
BS1362.
• NOTE: when you lift the kettle from the base,
you will see drops of moisture on the surface
of the power base. This is the steam used to
switch the kettle off automatically, which then
condenses and escapes through vents in the
underside of the kettle. This is perfectly normal,
and should not be cause for alarm or returning
the kettle.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
lead or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged or dropped in any manner.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord set available from Dualit’s
