• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation (e.g. leaks,
damage to the power cord or power connector and power socket).
Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when the appliance or any
part of it is likely to be damaged, and/or not working properly, or
when it has been subject to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating, short
circuit, moisture in the power base). If malfunction occurs during opera-
tion, immediately unplug the appliance. If in doubt, get in contact with
an authorized service centre for examination and/or repair.
Do not
attempt to repair any parts of the appliance on your own.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater, oven). Always keep the appliance in sufficient
distance to the edge of the table or counter. For operation, do not
place any clothes or tissue or other foreign objects under or on the
appliance, to avoid risk of overheating, fire, and electric shock. The
working space must be resistent against heat and moisture.
• For operation, leave at least 1 m of free space above the appliance
and at least 20 cm of free space on each side, to avoid damage due
to steam and hot water. Do not operate the appliance under overhan-
ging boards and drop-lights or near any delicate objects (e.g. curtains).
• This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sen-
sory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
including children aged from 8 years on, if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand and handle with the hazards involved.
Even cleaning may not be done by children younger than 8 years.
Children must always be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance or any part of it or the packaging. Do not leave
the appliance or any part of it unattended, when they are in reach of
children younger than 8 years or animals.

‘Care and Cleaning’).
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Connect the appliance directly to a
protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground)
properly. The used power outlet must be connected separately from other
power outlets. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V ~,
50 - 60 Hz, rated for at least 16 A). Other electrical appliances may not
be operated simultaneously at the same power outlet to avoid overloa-
ding your power supply. The installation of a residual current operated
circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current
of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in
doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are
subject to incompatible norms. It is possible that power supplies in
foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of
the appliance. Before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that
safe operation is possible.
• Do not use any desk top multi socket outlet, external timer, remote
control systems or extension cord. The used power outlet must always
be accessible during operation.
• Before use, always completely unwind the power cord. Do not place
the appliance on a power cord. The power cord may not touch hot
surfaces, moving parts, or sharp edges. Power cords may never be
knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or
power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Ensure that
no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Always grasp the
plug for disconnecting the appliance from the power supply.
• The electrical connectors of the kettle, base, and the power plug must
be clean and smooth without discolouration. Always keep the electri-
cal connectors absolutely dry! Do not poke in the electrical connec-
tors. When they are damaged or polluted in any way, the appliance
