kettle must be smooth and clean without discolourations. Especially keep
the power connector (kettle) and power socket (base) always complete-
ly dry. Do not poke in the power socket or power connector. Do not
attempt to operate the appliance with the power socket or power con-
nector damaged or polluted in any way to avoid risk of overheating,
fire and electric shock.
Always handle power cords with care. Do not place the appliance on a
power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained
or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of
the table or counter. The power cord may never touch hot surfaces, sharp
edges, or any moving parts. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance
by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance
or power plug with wet hands with the appliance connected to the power
supply.
Always unwind the power cord completely for operation to avoid hazard
of overheating, fire and electric shock.
Do not place or immerse the base, kettle or power cord in water or any
other liquid. DO NOT spill or drip any liquids on the base or the power
cord or on the exterior of the kettle to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
When parts of the appliance are leaking during operation and/or liquids
accumulate under the base or run down on the exterior of the appliance or
any part of it, immediately unplug the appliance. Refer to the instructions
in chapter ‘Solving Problems’.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dish-
washer.
Do not place the base on a metal surface, large bowl, or tray for operati-
on. If water is spilled or runs out and accumulates, there would be severe
hazard of short-cut, electric shock, and fire.
A cordless water kettle may never be filled while standing on its base.
Always remove the water kettle from the base for filling and pouring.
For filling, always open the lid by pressing the opening button.
