page 7).
DANGER for children
~
Packing materials are not children's
toys. Children should not be allowed to
play with the plastic bags: there is a risk
of suffocation.
DANGER to and from pets
and livestock
~
Electrical devices can represent a haz-
ard to pets and livestock. In addition,
animals can also cause damage to the
device. For this reason you should keep
animals away from electrical devices at
all times.
DANGER! Risk of electric
shock due to moisture
~
Protect the device from moisture, water
drops and water spray. Failure to ob-
serve this instruction may result in an
electrical shock hazard.
~
If liquid gets into the device base, imme-
diately pull out the mains plug. Have the
device checked before reusing.
DANGER! Risk of electric
shock
~
Do not use the device if the device or
the power cable has any visible dam-
age, or if the device base has previous-
ly been dropped.
~
Connect the mains plug only to a cor-
rectly installed, easily accessible
earthed wall socket with voltage corre-
sponding to the rating plate. The wall
socket must continue to be easily acces-
sible after the device is plugged in.
~
Ensure that the power cable cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or hot points.
Do not wrap the power cable around
the device.
~
The device is not fully disconnected from
the power supply, even after it is
switched off. In order to fully disconnect
it, pull out the mains plug.
~
When using the device, ensure that the
power cable cannot be trapped or
crushed.
~
When removing the mains plug from the
wall socket, always pull the plug and
never the cable.
~
Disconnect the mains plug from the wall
socket,…
… if there is a fault,
… when you are not using the kettle,
… before you clean the kettle, and
… during thunderstorms.
~
To avoid any risk, do not make modifi-
cations to the device.
DANGER! Risk of injury
through scalding
~
Do not bend over the kettle when you
open the lid and the contents are still
hot. There is a danger of being scalded
by escaping steam.
~
Be careful not to put your hands into the
steam escaping from the spout.
~
The kettle becomes very hot during op-
eration. Only touch it at its handle and
only use the release button and the on/
off switch.
~
Only touch the cool-touch surface to
close the hot lid.
WARNING! Risk of material
damage
~
The device is fitted with non-slip silicon
feet. Because furniture can be coated
with a wide variety of varnishes and
plastics, and treated with various care
products, the possibility cannot be ex-
cluded that some of these substances
have ingredients that may attack and
soften the silicon feet. If necessary,
place a non-slip mat under the device.
