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 kettle away from the

edge of the worktop.

• Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm,

flat surface.

• Do not use the kettle outdoors or in a

bathroom.

Personal safety

• Always pour hot water slowly and

carefully without tipping the kettle too
fast to prevent splashing and spillage.

• Extreme caution must be used when

moving a kettle containing hot water. 

• Do not touch hot surfaces, use handles

or knobs.

• Always close the lid securely, otherwise

the kettle may not switch off
automatically and may spit out boiling
water.

• Avoid contact with steam from the spout

when the water is boiling or just after it
has switched off.

• Take care if opening the lid for re-filling

when the kettle is hot.

• 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.

Mains lead

• The mains lead should reach from the

socket to the base unit without straining
the connections. Reduce the length of
the lead by storing the excess in the
cord storage facility in the base unit.

• 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 toaster or other hot area which might
damage the cable.

• Do not place the kettle where the mains

lead could fall into a sink.

Children

• Children do not understand the dangers

associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
