•
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
•
Do not place the base on a metal surface or tray for operation. If water is spilled or
runs out and accumulates, there would be severe hazard of short-cut, electric shock,
and fire.
•
A cordless water kettle may never be filled while standing on its base. Always remo-
ve the water kettle from the base for filling and pouring.
HIGH TEMPERATURE—RISK OF BURNS
WARNING!
The Water Kettle Colour Vision Pro is equipped with electric heating
elements for bringing water to the boil. Thus, the appliance could cause severe scalds,
burns and damage, when used improperly.
• Always hold the kettle level when filled, to avoid spilling. The appliance and the con-
tents will be hot even for some time after operation. Always leave the appliance cool
down to room temperature, before inserting or removing the water filter, cleaning, or
storing the appliance.
• Even with the lid properly closed, hot steam and splashes of hot water could escape
during operation. Do not hold your face or other parts of your body over or direct-
ly near the appliance during operation and while the appliance is still hot to avoid
scalds due to steam and splashes of hot water.
• Even the exterior of the appliance will get very hot during operation. Only touch the
appliance at the operating elements and the handle, when it is hot. Before pouring,
wait until the water has stopped boiling and then pour carefully to avoid spilling. If
the kettle is tilted too much, the water could run out besides the spout, thus getting
spilled. Always keep the lid closed during operation and when the water is boiling
or still very hot, to avoid scalding.
• Always keep the appliance in sufficient distance to the edge of the table or counter
and to other objects. Leave at least 20 cm of free space on each side, to avoid dama-
ge due to steam and hot water. Do not operate the appliance under overhanging
boards and drop-lights or near any delicate objects (e.g. curtains) to avoid damage
due to hot steam and water, overheating, and fire.
• Do not hold your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. clothes, brushes) into the interior
of the kettle with the appliance connected to the power supply.
