IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The use of any electrical
appliance requires the
following common sense
safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of
injury or death and
secondly the danger of
damage to the appliance.
These are indicated in the
text by the following two
conventions:

the person!

the appliance!
In addition, we offer the
following safety advice.

appliance away from the
edge of the worktop.
• Ensure that the appliance is
used on a firm, flat surface.
• Do not use the appliance
outdoors or near water.
• WARNING: Do not place
the appliance onto a
metal tray or metal
surface whilst in use.
Mains lead
• Do not let the mains lead
hang over the edge of the
worktop where a child
could reach it.
• Do not let the lead run
across an open space, e.g.
between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run
across a cooker or other
hot area which might
damage the cable.
• The mains lead should
reach from the socket to
the base unit without
straining the connections.

shock and personal
injury, do not immerse

cordless base dry,
especially around the
connection area. If wet,
disconnect the power
supply before drying. Allow
to dry thoroughly before
reconnection to the power
supply.
• Always pour hot water
slowly and carefully without
tipping the appliance too
fast to prevent splashing
and spillage.
