container to the desired
level, observing the Min.
(0.5 l) and Max. (1.7 l)
markings. Overfilling the
container may cause
danger from boiling water
being forced out.
∙ Also beware of the danger
of scalding from hot steam
being emitted. Therefore,
do not touch any parts of
the appliance except the
handle during use.
∙ Caution! During the boiling
process and when pouring
out hot water, the lid must
be kept closed at all times.
∙ The kettle may only
be operated with the
base provided with the
appliance.
∙ Caution! Never remove the
water container from the
base (or replace it) while
the appliance is switched
on.
∙ If the water container is not
on its base, ensure that it
cannot slip on any smooth
surface.
∙ Caution! The electrical
contact on the base must
be protected from any
splashing or overflowing
water.
∙ Caution! Any misuse of
the appliance can cause
severe personal injury.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – such materials
are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fitted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull
the power cord, it must no longer be
used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety
of the appliance.
∙ The appliance must be used only on a
heat-resistant, level surface.
∙ Do not operate the appliance below
a hanging cupboard or similar object;
there is a risk that escaping steam may
be trapped underneath.
