Hot surfaces – Risk of burns
The exterior of the Gourmet Tea Advanced Automatic will get very hot during operation. In
addition, beware of steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes
after switching off the appliance, especially when opening the lid or pouring out water.
The kettle is still hot, even some minutes after switching off. Do not touch hot surfaces (exte-
rior of the water container and lid) while the appliance is in use. Always use the soft grip
handle for moving the kettle. Always use the opening button for opening the lid.
Do not place the aplliance on any heat-sensitive objects, while it is hot. Never place any
heat-sensitive objects in or on the appliance.
Close supervision is important, when moving the appliance immediately after switching
off. Take care to hold the glass jug level, especially when filled to the maximum level.
• For operation place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant, water-resistant and
level surface (i.e. glass, ceramics, stone). Never place any clothes or other objects on or
under the appliance during operation to avoid overheating. Always let the appliance cool
down to room temperature before cleaning.
• Always keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other objects away
from the lid and spout during operation to avoid scalds and damage. Beware of steam
and hot condensate, when opening the lid. Always keep the lid closed, when operating
the appliance. Otherwise power consumption increases significantly and, additionally, the
automatic switching off of the heating elements will not work out. Ensure all persons stay in
sufficient distance to the appliance during operation.
