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.

• Always locate your appliance
away from the edge of the
worktop.
• Ensure that the appliance is
used on a firm, flat surface.
• Do not use the appliance
outdoors, in a bathroom, or
near water.
• Do not place the appliance on
a highly polished wooden
surface as damage may occur
to the surface.

the appliance onto a metal
tray or metal surface
whilst in use.
Mains lead
• Do not let the mains lead hang
over the edge of the worktop
where a child could reach it.

• The mains lead should reach
from the socket to the base
unit without straining the
connections.
• Reduce the length of the mains
lead by storing the excess in
the cord storage facility in the
base unit.
• If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, it's service agent
or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

Personal safety

• WARNING: To protect
against fire, electric shock
and personal injury, do not
immerse cord, plug and

other liquid.
• Always keep the top of the
cordless base dry, especially
around the connection area,
disconnect the power supply
before drying. Allow to dry
thoroughly before reconnection
to the power supply.
• Always pour hot water slowly
and carefully without tipping
the appliance too fast to
prevent splashing and spillage.
• Extreme caution must be used
when moving a appliance
containing hot liquid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces, use
handles or knobs.
• Always close the lid if
applicable and always have the
filter in place, otherwise the
kettle may switch off
automatically and may spit out
boiling water.
• Avoid contact with emitting
steam when the water is boiling
or just after it has switched off.
• Take care if opening the lid of
the appliance when hot.
