longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has
cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!

– at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance
does not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling
water spills out.

so that it
stands straight on the base

which could cause a short circuit.
