GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Do not operate or store the appliance
in humid or wet areas or outdoors. This
appliance is NOT intended for use in
boats or moving vehicles. Do not use any
accessories, attachments or spare parts
not recommended by the manufacturer.
Damaged or unsuited parts could cause
cracks, distortions or leakage of hot
water. Do not operate the appliance
when the appliance or any part of it is
likely to be damaged to avoid risk of
fire, overflow, heat, electric shock or any
other damage and/or injuries to persons.
Only use the kettle in combination with
the designated power base. Neither
kettle nor power base may be used with
any other parts of other appliances.
Check the water kettle regularly for any
leakage. However, due to condensation,
small amounts of moisture on the base
may occur. This is normal. Regularly
check the power base and power cord
for proper operation. The pins of the
plug and connectors in the middle of
the power base and at the bottom of the
kettle must be smooth and clean without
any discolouration. Do not operate the
appliance when any part of it is likely to
be damaged or is not working properly.
Return the appliance to an authorised
service centre for examination and
repair, if the appliance is not operating
properly or overheating, or was subject
to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating,
mechanical or electric shock, moisture
in the electrical connectors). Unplug the
appliance immediately, when a severe
problem occurs during operation (e.g.
water over flowing, overheating). Do not
attempt to open or repair the appliance
on your own.
Operate the appliance on a well
accessible, heat resistant, water resistant,
stable, level, dry and suitable large table
or counter. Do not place the appliance
on inclined surfaces, where it can tilt,
overflow, or fall. Ensure that the base
will stand stable, before placing the
kettle on it and operating the appliance
beneath or below any heat-sensitive or
moisture-sensitive materials, steam, heat
or condensate. During operation keep
the appliance in an appropriate distance
of at least 20 cm on each side.
Do not place any clothes or tissues or
other objects under on the appliance
during operation, to avoid risk of fire,
electric shock and overheating. Do not
place the appliance near the edge of the
table or counter.
Do not place the appliance or any part
of it on or near hot surfaces (e.g. burner,
heater, range or oven). The appliance
is heated by built-in electric heating
elements. Do not place any part of the
appliance (e.g. power base or kettle) on
a hot oven or range.
Do not leave the appliance unattended
when connected to the power supply.
Always unplug the appliance when it
is not in use, and before moving or

cleaning the appliance. Always leave the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
Always ensure that the kettle is filled
correctly and the exterior and the electric
connectors of the kettle and power base
are dry and clean, before placing the
kettle onto the power base.
Do not overfill the kettle. Always observe
the MAX filling mark in the interior of the
kettle. Otherwise, hot water could splash
and overflow, causing severe scalds.
Always remove the kettle from the power
base and remove the lid when filling the
kettle. Do not preheat the kettle while
it is still empty. Always ensure that there
are at least 0.2 litres of water in the kettle
before operation. Only use the appliance
for heating clear water. Do not add any
food or food additives. Do not fill with
milk or any other beverages into the
kettle. Do not place any foreign objects
into the kettle. There is no warranty
claim of the purchaser, if the damaged
or defect of the appliance is caused by
inappropriate treatment.
The lid can be opened easily by
pressing both of the lid lock buttons
simultaneously. Do not force the lid
open. Always close the lid before starting
operations.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning
pads for cleaning the appliance or any
part of it. DO not clean the appliance
with any chemicals (e.g. bleach). Do not
use any hard or sharp-edged objects for
operation or cleaning.
DO NOT place the appliance or power
cord in an automatic dishwasher.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Carefully read all instructions before
opening the appliance and save for
future reference.
Place the appliance near a suitable
wall power socket and connect the
appliance directly to a protected mains
power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly.
For this, always unwind the power cord
completely. Do not use any extension
cord or multi-socket outlet. Ensure that
the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220-240V,
50/60Hz, AC, rated for at least 16A).
The power outlet socket must be
installed separately to avoid interference
with other appliances.
Power cords may be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not
let the plug or power cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter. Ensure
that no one will pull the appliance
by the power cord or entangle in the
power cord. Always grasp the plug to
disconnect the power cord. Do not touch
the power plug or appliance with wet
hands while the appliance is connected
to the mains power supply.
Always unplug the appliance and remove
the kettle before moving or cleaning the
power base. Do not leave the power
base unattended when it is connected to
the power supply.

The power cord may not touch hot
surfaces or sharp edges. Do not place
the appliance on a power cord. If the
power cord is obviously damaged and/
or gets hot during operation, replace
the power cord completely. DO NOT
attempt to repair any power cord. To
avoid risk of electric shock: Always
immediately wipe dry spilled liquids and
condensate. Do not place or immerse
the kettle, power base or power cord in
water or any other liquid. DO not spill
or drip any liquids on the power cord or
exterior of the appliance.
DO NOT place the appliance or any
part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
HIGH TEMPERATURES–
RISK OF BURNS
Do not overfill the kettle (1.7L at the
maximum). Press the pouring button
several times before pouring to avoid
scalds due to splashing hot water.
Always keep the lid closed during
operation. Hot steam may escape
from the lid and spout. Do not hold
your hands, arms and/or face over the
appliance during operation to avoid
scalds.
Hot water could cause severe burns! Do
not leave the appliance unattended,
when it is in reach of young children,
especially when the water within the
kettle is hot!
When heating water to a preselected
temperature, due to residual heat of the
heating plate the water temperature
could still rise even after the kettle
automatically switches off. When heating
water for the immediate consumption
or for preparing baby food, always
ensure that the water has the desired
temperature.
To avoid build up of pressure during
heating, the lid of the kettle is not water
tight. When moving the filled kettle,
ensure to keep the kettle in an upright,
level position to avoid injuries and
damage due to spilled hot water.
Always leave the kettle to cool down
before cleaning.
How does my RediKettle stay warm for so long?
Important Safeguards (cont...)
The RediKettle has two walls, an inner and an outer. One placed inside the kettle
and the second on the outside of the kettle.
The gap between the two walls is evacuated of air creating a vacuum.
This vacuum reduces the heat transferrer ensuring the water in the RediKettle
stays hot for longer.
