General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and
carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
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 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. Do not expose the
electrical connections to water.
•
Base:
Only use the kettle with the power base provided.
Do not use the power
base to power any appliance other than this kettle.
•
Keep dry:
Avoid spillage on the connector.
• Power cord:
Do not kink, bend, squash, 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. The cord should be run in such
a way that there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently.
• No extension cord:
Do not use an extension cord with this kettle.
• 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 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, please contact
our after sales support centre for advice.
• RCD:
Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing a residual current device to lessen the risk
of scalding or other injury from hot water, which may be ejected if the heating
element ruptures. Contact a licensed electrician for advice.
•
Winding the cord:
If winding the power cord, avoid tight bends as this could
damage the cord.
