an automatic dishwasher.
• This appliance is for household use only and not intended for use in moving vehicles or

little amount of moisture could condensate on the power base. This is no indication for any
failure.
Potential risks due to hight temperatures
The exterior of the Design Kettle Pro will get very hot during operation. In addition, beware
of steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes after switching off the
appliance, especially when opening the lid or pouring out water. The kettle is still hot, even
some minutes after switching off. Do not touch hot surfaces (exterior of the water container
and lid) while the appliance is in use. Always use the handle for moving the kettle. Always
use the opening button for opening the lid.
Do not place the kettle on any heat-sensitive objects, while it is hot. Never place any heat-
sensitive objects in or on the kettle. Close supervision is important, when moving the kettle
immediately after switching off. Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to
the maximum level.
• For operation place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant, water-resistant and
level surface (i.e. glass, ceramics, stone). Never place any clothes or other objects on or
under the appliance during operation to avoid overheating. Always let the kettle cool down
to room temperature before cleaning.
• Always keep your hands, face and arms as well as any clothing and other objects away
from the lid and spout during operation to avoid scalds and damage. Beware of steam and
hot condensate, when opening the lid. Always keep the lid closed, when operating the
kettle. Otherwise power consumption increases significantly and, additionally, the automatic
switching off of the heating elements will not work out. Ensure all persons stay in sufficient
distance to the appliance during operation.

Dry spilled water immediately.
warnIng! Do not open the lid during and after operation. This may result in boiling
water splashing from the kettle. Pour all the hot water from the kettle before opening the lid
to refill.
