Do not use the appliance if the mains
cord, the plug, the base or the appliance
itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must
always be replaced by Gorenje, a
service centre authorised by Gorenje or
similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
Do not immerse the appliance or the
base in water or any other liquid.
The kettle is only meant for boiling water.
Do not use it to heat up soup or other
liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
Boiling water can cause serious burns.
Be careful when the kettle contains hot
water.
Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum
level indication. If the kettle has been
overfilled, boiling water may be ejected
from the spout and cause scalding.
Do not open the lid while the water is
boiling. Be careful when you open the lid
immediately after the water has boiled:
the steam coming out of the kettle is very
hot.
Avoid touching the body of the kettle, as
it gets very hot during use.
Always lift the kettle by its handle.
Always make sure the water in the kettle
at least covers the bottom of the kettle to
prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
Some condensation may appear on the
base of the kettle. This is perfectly
normal and does not mean that the kettle
has any defects.
Depending on the hardness of the water
in your area, small spots may appear on
the heating element of your kettle when
you use it. This phenomenon is the result
of scale build-up on the heating element
and on the inside of the kettle over time.
The harder the water, the faster scale
will build up. Scale can occur in different
colours. Although scale is harmless, too
much scale can influence the
performance of your kettle. Descale your
kettle regularly by following the
instructions given in the chapter
‘Descaling’.

Boil-dry protection
This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection.
This device will automatically switch the kettle off if
