multi socket outlet. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in
doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted
or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or power cord hang
over the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the
power cord, especially when young children are near. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Do not touch the plug or power base with wet hands,
when the plug is connected to the power supply.
• Before operation completely unwind the power cord, and ensure that the power base will
not tilt or wobble during operation. Do not place the kettle or power base on the power cord.
•
Always switch OFF the kettle and unplug the power base from the power
outlet when not in use and before moving or cleaning the power base.
Do not leave the power base unattended while connected to the power supply.
• Keep the cord away from hot surfaces, including the stove. When the power cord warms
up during operation or is likely to be damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised
service centre. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not immerse the kettle, power base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
spill or drip any liquids on the power base, power cord or switch area of the kettle to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the appliance or
condensate has built up on the power base, immediately switch OFF the kettle, unplug the
power base and dry the appliance. In this case hand over the appliance to an authorised
service centre for examination.
•
DO NOT put the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
• Immediately switch OFF the kettle, unplug the power base, if liquid is spilled on the
exterior of the kettle or on the power base or the kettle leaks.
• Use the kettle only with the supplied power base. Do not use the power base unit for any
other purpose. To protect against fire, do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or
flammable fumes or gases.
