of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be grounding
-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so

SWITCHING OFF THE KETTLE MANUALLY
The ON/OFF switch (4) can also be used to switch off the
kettle before the water boils.
SAFETY CUT-OFF
The kettle is protected against damage resulting from use
with an insufficient volume of water. A safety cut-off will
automatically disconnect the power supply if the heating
element overheats.
Should the kettle ever boil dry during operation, you must
leave it to cool for 10 minutes before re-filling it with cold
water. The safety cut-off will reset automatically once it has
cooled.
BEFORE USING THE KETTLE
Clean the kettle before using it for the first time by filling
it completely (to the MAX mark) with water, boiling the
water, and then discarding the water.
