INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new kettle, please read
through these instructions carefully before using it
for the first time. We also recommend that you
keep the instructions for future reference, so that
you can remind yourself of the functions of your
kettle.
SAFETY MEASURES
Normal use of the kettle
•
Incorrect use of the kettle may cause
personal injury and damage to the kettle.
•
Use the kettle for its intended purpose only.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
damage resulting from incorrect use or
handling (see also Guarantee Terms).
•
The kettle may only be connected to 230 V,
50 Hz.
•
The kettle should not be switched on unless
there is water in it.
•
The water level in the kettle must not be
below the minimum (0.5 l) or above the
maximum (1.7 l) filling level marked on the
water level gauge on the outside of the
kettle.
•
The kettle or cord must not be placed in
water or any other liquid.
•
Never leave the kettle unattended when in
use and keep an eye on children.
•
Avoid touching the outside of the kettle when
in use, as it becomes hot. Touch the handle
and lid only. Be careful of hot steam when
opening the lid.
•
This kettle is not suitable for commercial or
outdoor use.
Positioning the kettle
•
Always place the kettle at the back of a
kitchen counter at a safe distance from
flammable objects such as curtains,
tablecloths or similar.
•
Always position the kettle so that the spout is
turned away from other surfaces, as steam
from the boiling water may damage them.
•
Do not cover the kettle.
•
Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge
of a table/counter, and keep it away from hot
objects and naked flames.
•
Ensure that the cord to the kettle base is fully
extended.
Cord, plug and mains socket
•
Check regularly that the cord or plug is not
damaged and do not use the kettle if it is, or
if it has been dropped or damaged in any
other way.
•
If the kettle, cord or plug is damaged, it must
be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by
an authorised repair engineer, otherwise
there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to
repair the appliance yourself.
•
Remove the plug from the socket when
cleaning, or when the kettle is not in use.
•
Avoid pulling the cord when removing the
plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
•
Check that it is not possible to pull or trip
over the kettle or any extension cord.
