When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
3. Before connecting the kettle, check whether the voltage indicated on
the appliance (underside of kettle and base unit) corresponds with the
main voltage in your home. If this is not the case, contact your dealer
and do not use the kettle.
4. Switch off and unplug from the outlet before filling, emptying, cleaning,
or when not in use.
5. Do not fill past the maximum line as this can damage the unit and/or
cause boiling water to be ejected. Fill with cold water only.
6. To avoid fire, do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or
flammable fumes. Do not operate or place any part of this appliance
on or near gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
7. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or a counter. Do not
let the cord touch hot surfaces.
8. Never yank on the cord, as this may damage the cord and eventually
cause a risk of electric shock.
9. If the cord or plug is damaged or malfunctions in any way, return the
appliance to your nearest authorized service agent for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
10. Avoid touching the surface of the hot kettle, use the handle.
11. To avoid possible steam injury, do not face the spout when operating
the kettle.
12. If operated on wood furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage
to delicate finishes.
13. To avoid scalding, always ensure the lid is correctly positioned before
operation.
14. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed while heating.
15. Remove and replace the lid carefully when hot.
16. Extreme caution must be used when moving the kettle containing hot
water. Never lift the kettle by its lid. Always use the handle.
17. Do not switch your kettle on if it is empty.
18. To protect from electrical hazard, do not immerse this kettle, power
base, or cord in any liquid.
19. Use the kettle only with the supplied base unit. Do not use the base
unit for other purposes.
20. While the water is boiling, or in the short time after the water boils, do
not attempt to remove the lid in order to avoid the steam scalding your
hand.
21. Regularly descale kettle to maintain normal operation.
22. Turn off the switch and unplug the kettle after boiling.
