INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new appliances, please read
this user guide carefully before using them for the first
time. Take particular note of the safety precautions.
We also recommend that you keep the instructions for
future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the
functions of your appliances.

SAFETY MEASURES
Normal use of the appliances
• Incorrect use of the appliances may cause personal

injury and damage to the appliances.

• Use for their intended purposes only. The

manufacturer is not responsible for any injury or
damage resulting from incorrect use or handling
(see also Guarantee Terms).

• The kettle may only be connected to 20 V, 50 Hz.
• The kettle may only be used with the base station

supplied.

• For domestic use only. Not for outdoor or

commercial use.

• Remove the plug from the socket once you have

finished using the kettle.

• Please note that the kettle will remain hot for a

while, after you switch it off. Always allow the
appliances to cool completely before you put them
away or clean them.

• The kettle or cord must not be placed in water or

any other liquid.

• The kettle should not be switched on unless there is

water in it.

• The water level in the kettle must not be below

“MIN” or above “MAX”. Check water level using the
external water level indicator.

• Keep the appliances under constant supervision

while in use. Keep an eye on children.

• Avoid touching the outside of the appliances when

in use and immediately after, as they become hot.
Touch the handle and lid only. Be careful of hot
steam when opening the lid.

• Never touch the kettle or base station if your hands

are wet or damp.

Positioning of the appliances
• Always place the appliances on a level, dry, stable

and heat-resistant surface.

• Always place the appliances at the back of a kitchen

counter and at a safe distance from flammable
objects such as curtains, tablecloths or similar.

• The appliances must not be placed or stored near

other sources of heat.

• Do not cover.

Cord, plug and mains socket
• Check regularly that neither the cord nor plug is

damaged and do not use the kettle if there is any
damage, or if it has been dropped on the floor,
dropped in water or damaged in any other way.

• Remove the plug from the socket when cleaning, or

when the kettle is not in use. Avoid pulling the cord
when removing the plug from the socket. Instead,
hold the plug.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a

table/counter, and keep it away from hot objects
and naked flames.

• Check that it is not possible to pull or trip over the

kettle or any extension cord.

• Check the wire in the base fits into one of the small

incisions in the edge to ensure the base station is
stable, and not standing on the wire.

• If the appliance or plug is damaged, it must

be inspected and if necessary, repaired by an
authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk
of electric shock. Never try to repair the appliance
yourself. Please contact the store where you
bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the
appliance will invalidate the guarantee.
