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:
WARNING: Danger to the
person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the
appliance!
In addition, we offer the
following safety advice.
Location
• Always locate your 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, in a bathroom, or
near water.
• Do not place the kettle on a
highly polished surface as
damage may occur.
• 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.
• Do not place the kettle where
the mains lead could fall into
a sink.
• The mains lead should reach
from the socket to the base
unit without straining the
connections.
• Reduce the length of the
mains lead by storing the
excess in the cord storage
facility in the base unit.
• If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer,
it’s service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
Personal safety
• WARNING: To protect
against fire, electric
shock and personal
injury, do not immerse
cord, plug and appliance
in water or any other
liquid.
• Always keep the top of the
cordless base dry, especially
around the connection area,
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.
• Extreme caution must be
used when moving a
appliance containing hot
liquid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces,
use handles or knobs.
• Always close the lid if
applicable and always have
the filter in place, otherwise
the kettle may not switch off
automatically and may spit
out boiling water.
• Avoid contact with emitting
steam when the water is
boiling or just after it has
switched off.
• Take care if opening the lid of
the appliance when hot.
• Do not open the lid whilst the
water is boiling.
• Do not fill above the MAX
mark, otherwise boiling water
may be ejected.
• Do not hold the switch in the
ON position or tamper with
the switch to fix it in the ON
position as this may cause
damage to the switch-off
mechanism.
• Unplug from the outlet before
cleaning.
• Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and
before cleaning.
• Do not move the kettle when
switched on.
• This appliance is not
intended for use by persons
(including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of

concerning the use of the

Children
• Never allow a child to
operate this appliance.
• Children are vulnerable in the
kitchen, particularly when
unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or
cooking is being carried out.

dangers in the kitchen, warn
