off during use or switching off
before boiling.

the kettle may take longer to
boil.

the flat element may be
damaged.

safety

Always use the filter and never overfill

kettle will get hot during operation.

Keep small children away from the
kettle and never let the cord hang

shorten it by wrapping any excess
cord around the bracket on the
