over the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the
power cord, especially when young children are near. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord from the power outlet. Do not touch the plug or power base with wet hands,
when the plug is connected to the power supply.
• Before operation completely unwind the power cord, insert the power cord in the gap
on the bottom of the power base, and ensure that the power base will not tilt or wobble
during operation. Do not place the kettle or power base on the power cord.
• Always switch off the kettle and unplug the power base from the power
outlet when not in use and before moving or cleaning the power base. Do not
leave the power base unattended while connected to the power supply.
Never leave the appliance unattended when in operational mode.
• When the power cord warms up during operation or is likely to be damaged, it must
be replaced by an authorised Service Centre. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not immerse the kettle, power base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do
not spill or drip any liquids on the power base, power cord or switch area of the kettle to
avoid risk of fire and electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the
appliance or condensate has built up on the power base, immediately switch OFF the kettle,
unplug the power base and dry the appliance.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
The exterior of the Design Kettle 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 lifting off 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 soft
grip handle for moving the kettle.
• Beware of steam when the kettle is hot: always take your hands off the handle when lifting
off the lid to avoid scalds. Only touch the loop when lifting off the lid. All other parts of the
lid will get very hot during operation.
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 and water-resistant,
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.
