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
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. Do not expose
the electrical connections to water.
• 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, contact
the after sales support line 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 qualified electrician for advice.
