ELECTRIC KETTLE
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE AND KEEP FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the mains plug, power
base, or kettle in water or any other liquid. Do not use in the bathroom or near
any source of water. Do not use outdoors.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
3. Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.
4. Take care when pouring, pour slowly, and do not overfill the kettle.
5. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a
scald hazard. Keep the kettle, power base and mains lead away from the edge of
worktops and out of the reach of children.
6. Do not allow the mains lead to hang over the edge of the table or worktop, or
anywhere where it may be accidentally caught or tripped over.
7. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
8. Unplug the power base from the wall socket when not in use, before
repositioning and before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool down fully before
cleaning and before storing.
9. Ensure that the lid is closed before switching the kettle on, otherwise it may not
automatically switch off.
10. Check that the kettle is properly located on the power base before switching it
on.
11. Do not switch on unless the kettle contains at least 1 cupful of water, otherwise
the kettle may be damaged.
12. Do not fill above the bottom of the max mark on the water level indicator (1.0/1.7
litres).
13. Remove the kettle from its power base before filling or pouring.
14. Do not place the kettle, power base or mains lead on or near any hot surface,
hotplate, hot hob or burner.
15. Do not use the kettle for any purpose other than heating water.
16. Use the kettle only with power base supplied (and vice versa).
17. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If the mains lead
is damaged, it must be replaced by a special lead, which can be purchased by
contacting customer service.
18. Ensure that the lid is closed before switching on the kettle.
