hot surfaces.

• Do not leave the power base unattended, when connected to the power supply. Always
unplug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning or moving the power base.
Always switch OFF the kettle and allow to cool down before cleaning or filling. Before use,
always make sure that the lid is closed properly and a sufficient amount of water is filled
in (between water level mark 750 and 1600/MAX). Do not operate the appliance with
the water level below the water level mark 750. Do not overfill the water container above
the maximum water level mark 1600/MAX.

• Do not use this appliance to boil any other liquids or foodstuffs others than pure
drinking water without any additional ingredients.

scouring pads) for cleaning. Clean the kettle and power base with a damped sponge or
tissue and carefully dry the power base and exterior of the kettle after cleaning. Do not
handle the appliance or any part of it with violence. Always use the handle for moving the
kettle. Beware of steam when opening the lid and keep your hands away from the handle
when doing so.

• Do not immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord in water, or
allow moisture to come in contact with these parts.

Never place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.

During operation a little amount of moisture could condensate on the power base. This is
no indication for any failure.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following
precautions.

• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage
requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect
the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective
conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Do not use any extension cord or multi socke
outlet. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual
operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt,
contact your electrician for further information.

• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted
or squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or power cord hang
