Read these instructions for carefull use 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.
Use the kettle only 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 should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance. Keep the appliance
and its cord out of reach of children less than 8
years of age when it is energized cooling down.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table
or worktop. Store the cord 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 cord, the plug, the
base or the appliance is damaged.
If the cord is damaged, it must always be replaced
by Gorenje, a service centre authorised by
Gorenje or similarly qualified.
Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water
or any other liquid.
Use the kettle only 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 is overfilled, boiling water
may eject 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, because it
gets very hot during use.
When you lift the kettle, use the handle.
To prevent the kettle from boiling dry, always
make sure that the water covers at least the
bottom of the.
Some condensation may appear on the base of
the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not
mean that the kettle is damaged.
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’.
Never connect this appliance to an external timer
switch or remote control system in order to
avoid a hazardous situation.
