IMPORTANT SAFETY
MEASURES
Make sure that the water level is between the
minimum and maximum level before turning
the kettle on. Do not overfill the kettle; other-
wise it can overflow while boiling. Please, re-
member that the minimum water level should
be higher than the minimum allowed level.
Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appli-
ance. Do not touch the outer surfaces of the kettle with the
exception of the heat insulated handle, when water is boiling
or with hot water inside the device.
Allow kettle to cool prior to cleaning and storing.
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before stor-
age, filling it with water/emptying it or moving it from one place
to another.
The appliance should always be placed on and used on a heat
resistant, horizontal and dry surface.
To avoid being burnt by hot vapor always close the lid tightly be-
fore use. Avoid exposure to hot vapor. WARNING! Never open
the lid immediately before or after boiling temperature
is reached.
The kettle is protected against overheating and if switched on
without water, an automatic safety cut out device will switch it
off. If the safety device is activated, allow the kettle to cool
down prior to boiling water in it. The kettle will not switch on if
its too hot. WARNING! Frequent switching the kettle
on without water might result in the safety device
failure, that is why prior to switching the kettle on
always check the water level. Always make sure the
water level in the kettle is not too low.
Always switch the kettle off prior to lifting it from the base.
Use the kettle only with the supplied base.
Do not fill a hot kettle with cold water or vice versa. WARNING!
Avoid sharp temperature fluctuations when filling the
kettle with water.
Connect the device only to an electrical supply with a protective
earthing. If your socket has no protective earthing, contact a quali-
fied specialist. Do not modify the plug and do not use cord adapt-
ers. WARNING! Electric shocks might occur if the kettle is
plugged into an unearthed power supply.
Clean the heating element of the kettle often to de-scale it. Re-
member that use of a heavily scaled kettle might result in its mal-
function. WARNING! De-scale the kettle using only spe-
cially designed cleaning agents.
Before turning the kettle on, make sure that the lid is closed; other-
wise the kettle will not turn off after boiling.
After use of the appliance, the base of the kettle might be wet. It is
a normal condition of operation, caused by escaping steam, used
to activate the kettles automatic turning off function.
Do not tilt the filled kettle backwards, since water can spill
through the steam vent. If this happens, the kettle should be
wiped before turning it on.
