IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR
KETTLE
• The kettle does not work or stops
before coming to the boil
- Check that your kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without
water or an accumulation of scale has caused
the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the
ket tle to cool and fill it with water.
Descale first if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working
again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new,
discard the water from the first few boilings. If
the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum
and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda.
Bring to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out
the kettle.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT
LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO
THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF
THE KETTLE

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can
sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware
of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position
the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of
the work surface, out of the reach of children.
If an accident does occur
, run cold water
over the scald immediately and call a doctor if
necessary.
In order to avoid any accident: do not carry
your child or baby at the same time as drinking
or carrying a hot drink.
