IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the fol-
lowing precautions.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the vol-
tage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50/60 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 socket 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 elec-
trician 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 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, immedi-
ately switch off the kettle, unplug the power base and dry the appliance.
