This appliance is NOT intended for use or handling by persons (including
children from 8 years and above) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Even cleaning may not be per-
formed by children without supervision.
Children must always be super-
vised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance or any parts
of the appliance or the packaging.

is dry, frost-free, and clean, and
where young children cannot reach it.
Do not leave the appliance or any part of it unattended, when in reach
of young children.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater, or oven). Do not use any parts of the appliance with

The appliance is intended for heating clear drinking water. For de-scaling,
only use the liquids recommended in this booklet. Do not fill in any other
liquids or food to avoid injuries and damage due to fire, electric shock,
and high temperatures.To avoid overheating, before operation, always
fill a sufficient amount of clear drinking water into the water kettle (at least
0.5 litre / MIN).
Do not operate the appliance with the water kettle
empty.
However, do not fill in more than the maximum amount (1.5 litre

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a
suitable wall power outlet to connect the appliance directly to a separately
connected and protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the ratings of your mains
power supply correspond to the requirements of the appliance (220/240
V AC, 50/60 Hz, rated for 16 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with
a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying
electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electri-
cian for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are sub-
ject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in
foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the
appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe
operation is possible.
Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, remote control
systems or extension cord. The power outlet must always be easily acces-
sible so that it would be possible to unplug the appliance immediately in
case of any malfunction or danger.
The pins of the power plug and the power connector in the bottom of the
