Risks from hot liquids and
steam
Risk of scalding!
While using the kettle, hot
steam will come out which
can lead to scalding.
■
Avoid any contact with hot
steam during the heat-
ing process, when refi lling
the jug and when the lid
is open. In particular, keep
your face out of the way.
■
Do not open the lid during
operation.
■
When the appliance is hot,
allow it to cool for at least
15-20 seconds before fi lling
with cold water.
If the jug is over-fi lled or if
the lid is open, hot water may
spurt out during boiling. This
can lead to scalding.
■
Do not fi ll the jug past the
MAX fi ll level mark.
■
Ensure that the lid is closed
during operation.
If the appliance falls down,
contact with hot water can
lead to scalding.
■
Do not allow the mains
cord to hang over the edge
of the worktop on which
the appliance is standing.
■
Do not stand the jug di-
rectly on the edge of the
worktop.
Drinking water that is boiling
hot can cause scalding.
■
Take care when drinking
freshly heated water.
