IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or personal injury.
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. Before connecting the kettle to the power supply, check that the voltage indicated
on the appliance (underneath the kettle & base) corresponds with the voltage
in your home. If this is not the case, DO NOT USE THE KETTLE.
3. The attached base can not be used for anything other than its intended use.
4. Do not operate the appliance without anything in it to avoid damaging the heating
elements.
5. Unplug the kettle from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow the kettle to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.
6. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch a hot surface.
7. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
8. Should you accidentally allow the kettle to operate without water, the boil-dry
protection will automatically switch it off. If this should occur, allow the kettle
to cool before filling with cold water and re-boiling.
9. Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm and flat surface out of reach of children,
this will prevent the kettle from overturning and prevent damage or injury.
10. To protect against fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not immerse the cord,
electric plug or kettle in water or other liquids.

the kettle too fast.
