source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
Risk of electric shock
The device is powered by
electricity, and so there is
always a risk of electric
shock. The following
precautions are therefore to
be taken:
∙ Every time the appliance
is used, the main body
including the power cord
as well as any attachment
fi tted should be checked
thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance,
for instance, have been
dropped onto a hard
surface, or if excessive
force has been used to
pull the power cord, it must
no longer be used: even
invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the
operational safety of the
16
appliance.
∙ The appliance should only
be connected to a socket
installed in accordance
with the regulations.
Make sure that the supply
voltage corresponds with
the voltage marked on the
rating label.
∙ Because the kettle uses
high power, it must not be
operated with any type of
extension cable.
∙ Always remove the plug
from the wall socket
- after use,
- in case of any
malfunction,
- before cleaning the
appliance.
∙ When removing the plug
from the wall socket, never
pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not touch the plug
with wet hands.
