∙ Do not touch the plug with wet
hands.
∙ The electrical connections in the base
must be protected at all times against
possible contact with water.
∙ Do not clean the water container
and the base with liquids and do not
immerse them; do not clean under
running water.
∙ The kettle may only be operated with
the base provided with the appliance.
∙ Never remove the water container
from the base (or replace it) while the
appliance is switched on.
Danger of burns and scalding
∙ The exterior surfaces become hot
during use and will remain so for some
time afterwards.
∙ Do not leave the kettle unattended
during operation. Use only pure
water when filling the container to the
desired level, observing the Min.
(0.5 l) and Max. 1.7 l) markings.
Overfilling the container may cause
danger if boiling water is forced out.
∙ Also beware of the danger of scalding
from hot steam being emitted.
Therefore, do not touch any parts of
the appliance except the handle during
use.
∙ During the boiling process and when
pouring out hot water, the lid must be
kept closed at all times.
Lack of hygiene
Lack of hygiene may result in germs
forming inside the appliance:
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
∙ Clean the appliance thoroughly before
using it for the first time.
∙ Before cleaning the appliance,
ensure it is disconnected from the
power supply and has cooled down
completely.
∙ The appliance must be descaled at
regular intervals. Clean the water
container as necessary with a damp
cloth.
∙ Detailed information on cleaning the
appliance can be found in the section
Cleaning and care.
Danger of damage to the unit
Incorrect handling of the appliance can
cause damage:
∙ Always let the appliance cool
down first before re-filling with
fresh water.
∙ Always place the unit on a dry,
level, non-slip and heat-resistant
surface, which is impervious to
contact with the rubber feet.
∙ Do not operate the appliance
below a hanging cupboard or
similar object; there is a risk that
escaping steam may be trapped
underneath.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free.
∙ Do not kink or pinch the power cord.
Keep both the cord and the appliance
itself well away from heat sources (eg
hot-plates, gas flames).
