INSTRUCTIONS
The use of any electrical
appliance requires the

safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of
injury or death and
secondly the danger of
damage to the appliance.
These are indicated in the

the appliance!
In addition, we offer the
following safety advice.

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.
•
Do not let the lead run
across an open space, e.g.
between a low socket and
table.
•
Do not let the lead run
across a cooker or other
hot area which might
damage the cable.
•
Do not place the kettle
where the mains lead
could fall into a sink.
•
The mains lead should

mains lead by storing the
excess in the cord storage
facility in the base unit.

shock and personal
injury, do not immerse
cord, plug and

any other liquid.

connection area,
disconnect the power
supply before drying. Allow

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.
