Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before
using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the base of the
kettle corresponds to the local mains voltage
before you connect the appliance.
Only use the kettle in combination with its original
base.
Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat
and stable surface.
This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards
involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance shall not be
made by children unless they are older
than 8 and supervised
.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of the reach of
children. Do not let the mains cord hang over the
edge of the table or worktop. Excess cord can be
stored in the base of the appliance.
Keep the cord, the base and the appliance away
from hot surfaces.
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’.
