the table or worktop on which the appliance stands.
Excess cord can be stored in or around the base of
the appliance.
- Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface
(e.g. a serving tray), as this could cause water to
accumulate under the appliance, resulting in a
hazardous situation.
- Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when
the kettle contains hot water.
- Do not touch the body of the kettle during and some
time after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift the kettle
by its handle.
- Never ill the kettle beyond the maximum level
indication. If the kettle has been overilled, boiling
water may be ejected from the spout and cause scalding.
- Do not remove the lid while the water is heating up.
Be careful when you remove the lid immediately after
the water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the
kettle is very hot.
- Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
Caution
- Only connect the appliance to an earthed wall socket.
- Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, lat and
stable surface.
- The kettle is only intended for heating up and boiling
water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids
or jarred, bottled or tinned food.
- When you select a temperature below 100ºC, the
water is not boiled (sterilised) irst, but is heated up
directly to the temperature of the selected preset button.
- Always make sure you ill the kettle at least up to the
1-cup indication (0.25l) to prevent the kettle from
boiling dry.
- Depending on the hardness of the water in your
area, small spots or stains may appear on the
heating element of your kettle when you use it. This
phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the
heating element and on the inside of the kettle over
time. The harder the water, the faster scale builds
up. Scale can occur in different colours. Although
scale is harmless, too much scale can inluence the
performance and durability of your kettle. Descale
your kettle regularly by following the instructions
given in chapter 'Cleaning and descaling'.
