Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Before connecting the kettle to the power supply, make sure your
outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage indicated on
the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is properly earthed. If this is
not the case, do not use the kettle.
• Separate circuit: Do not use any other appliance at the same time on the
same electrical circuit as it may overload the circuit and blow the fuse or
circuit breaker.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the cord,
plug, power base or the kettle itself in water or other liquid, or expose the
electrical connections to water.
• Make sure all electrical connections are clean and dry before switching on.
• Power cord: Do not kink, strain or damage the power cord and protect it
from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table
or benchtop. Do not let it touch hot surfaces. Run the cord in such a way that
there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord,
plug, power base or kettle housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or
has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
WARNING:
A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
In case of damage, contact
the after sales support line for advice.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord with this kettle.
• No timer: This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice
.
