first time, and keep them in a safe place: in the event of any inappropriate
use, KRUPS shall accept no liability.
n Only use your kettle to heat drinking water.
n Only plug the appliance into an earthed socket. Check that the power
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the appliance corresponds to that
of your mains installation.
n Keep the kettle and the power cord away from all sources of heat, wet or
slippery surfaces and sharp edges
n Your appliance must only be used with its lid closed and with its own base.
Do not attempt to plug in any other kettle, even of the same brand, or any
another domestic appliance on the electronic base.

any other liquid.

it is working. Do not touch the kettle other than by the handle.
