Safety information
Danger – electric shock!
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections does not come into
contact with water! Ensure that the base is completely dry before use,
especially if it has accidentally become wet.
• Use the appliance only with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during opera-
tion. Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
• To avoid potentially fatal risks, arrange for a defective power plug
and/or cable to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our
Customer Service Department.
• Always remove the plug from the mains power socket after use. Simply
switching the appliance off is not sufficient, as the appliance is under
power for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! There is a
risk of electric shock!
Warning - Risk of injury!
• Always heat the water with a closed lid, otherwise the automatic cut-out
may not work. Boiling water can then spray out over the edge.
• Hot steam clouds may be released. The glass pot also becomes very hot
during use. Wear oven mitts.
• Make certain that the appliance stands firmly and vertically before swit-
ching it on. Boiling water can cause an instable kettle to fall over.
• Exercise caution with the glass pot. Broken glass can cause serious cut
wounds.
• Never fill it with more water than to the MAX marking. If you do, boiling
water may spray out and lead to scalds.
• Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.
