Safety instructions
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using.
• Before connecting the kettle to the power supply, check that the
voltage indicated on the appliance (underside the kettle & base)
corresponds with the voltage in your home. If this is not the case,
contact your dealer and stop using the kettle.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or
touch a hot surface.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
• Do not operate the appliance without anything in it to avoid
damaging the heat elements.
• Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm and flat surface out of
reach of children, this will prevent the kettle from overturning and
avoid damage or injury.
• To protect against a fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not
immerse cord, electric plugs or kettle in water or other liquids.
• While water is boiling, or just after the water has been boiled,
avoid contacting with steam from the spout.
• Always take care to pour boiling water slowly and carefully without
tipping the kettle too fast.
• Be careful of refilling when the kettle is hot.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they
understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and
supervised. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of
children aged less than 8 years.
• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• Do not touch the hot surface. Instead use the handle.
• The attached base can not be used for other than intended use.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot water.
• The appliance is not a toy. Do not let children play with it.
• The kettle is for household use only. Do not use outdoors.
• The use of accessories, which are not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer, may result in fire, electric shock or
personal injury.
• Unplug the kettle from the outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• To disconnect, turn any control to “off,” then remove plug from
wall outlet.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
• The kettle can only use with the stand provided.
• If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spill out.
• Always ensure the lid is closed and do not lift it while the water
is boiling. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the
brewing cycles.
