Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Before connecting the kettle to the power supply, check that the voltage indicated on the appliance (underneath the kettle & base)
corresponds with the voltage in your home. If this is not the case, contact your dealer and do not use the kettle.
3. The kettle and attached base cannot be used for anything other than their intended use.
4. Do not operate the appliance without anything in it to avoid damaging the heating elements.
5. Unplug the kettle from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch a hot surface.
7. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
8. Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch it off. If this should
occur, allow the kettle to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
9. Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm and flat surface out of the reach of children; this will prevent the kettle from overturning and
avoid damage or injury.
10. To protect against fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not immerse the cord, electric plug or kettle in water or other liquids.
11. Always take care to pour boiling water slowly and carefully without tipping the kettle too fast.
12. Use care when opening the lid of the hot kettle while refilling when the kettle is hot.
13. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
14. Do not touch the hot surface of the kettle. Use the handle or the knobs.
15. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot water.
16. This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children play with it.
17. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or
personal injury.
