Notes on the cord plug:
This appliance has an earthed plug, to reduce the risk of
electric shock this plug is intended to fit into an earthed outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet try
turning the plug around. If it still does not fit contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any
way.
Notes on the power cord:
A short power supply cord is supplied to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Longer
extension cords are available and may be used with care, take
care they do not hang over counter or table tops and cannot
be pulled or tripped over. If a longer extension cord is used its
electrical rating should be at least as great as that of the kettle.
Ensure any extension cord used is fully earthed.
