IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
The kettle does not work or stops before coming to a boil:
– Check that your kettle is properly connected.
– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused
the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale
first if scale has accumulated. Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after
about 15 minutes.
The water tastes of plastic:
– Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few
boilings. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to the maximum line and add two teaspoons
of baking soda. Bring to a boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE

devices.

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to be aware of hot liquids found in the kitchen.
Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the back of the work surface, out of the
reach of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if
necessary.
In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as
drinking or carrying a hot drink.
