ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1)
The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2)
The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3)
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally
(especially by children).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In North American markets, the appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. Kettles sold
outside of North America include removable power cords for use with electrical outlets
in those markets.
DO NOT attempt to insert a power cord into an incompatible outlet.
Appliance damage, electrical system damage or physical harm may result. An adaptor,
as shown in Figure B, should be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-wire
receptacle. The grounding tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using
a metal screw.
Warning: This appliance utilizes a high wattage relay for arriving at the desired water
temperature. In some instances, this relay may cause slight flickering of lights on the
same circuit. It is best to use this appliance on a dedicated circuit or with all other
appliances off during this appliance’s use. It will not damage electrical systems but
caution should be used to not overload this circuit with other appliances running at the
same time.
