Safety information
To avoid potentially fatal injury
through electric shock:
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections
does not come into contact with water! If it has
unintentionally come into contact with water, first
allow it to dry out completely before taking it
into use.
• Only use the water boiler with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that
it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Always remove the plug from the power socket
after use. Simply switching the appliance off is
not sufficient, as the appliance is under power
for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.
To avoid burns and other injuries:
• Always heat water with the lid closed, otherwise
the automatic cut-out may not function. Boiling
water could then spray out over the rim.
• Hot steam clouds may be released. The boiler
also becomes very hot during operation.
Wear oven mitts.
• Ensure that the appliance is standing securely and
vertically before switching it on. Boiling water
can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio-
logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a
separate remote control system to operate the
appliance.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst
in use.
