After use, always pull out the plug from the socket, and also in case of any malfunction or before cleaning. When pulling out the plug from the wall outlet, never pull by the cord, only the plug.The kettle is a class I shock protection appliance, and therefore power outlet to which it is connected to must be equipped with grounding pin. Children do not realize the dangers that can arise when using electrical appliances; therefore keep the kettle out of reach of children. Do not attempt to remove any parts of the housing or insert any objects into the appliance. To prevent damage to the power cord, do not place it over sharp edges or close to hot surfaces. Do not expose the appliance to rain or humidity, and do not use it outdoors. Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.

OPERATION, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before use:
Rinse the kettle and boil water in it several times using clean water in each
boiling cycle and filling the\ kettle to the maximum level. Water will boil in
approximately 5 minutes, and the kettle will switch off automatically.
Use:
Place the base on a solid and level surface. If the appliance switches off
before the water boils, it means descaling is required. You can use standard
descaling agents, provided that appropriate instructions are followed. Do not
fill the kettle up to the top mark to prevent spillage, if the descaling agent
causes water foaming. To thoroughly remove any deposits after descaling, boil
clean water several times, then rinse the kettle with clean water. Pour the
required amount of clean water into the kettle. When the appliance is being
used (or immediately after use), do not touch any part of the kettle except
the handle and make sure the lid is properly closed. The amount of water can
be checked on the level indicator on the outside of the kettle. Always pay
attention to the minimum and maximum levels, make sure the lid is properly and
firmly closed. Place the kettle on the base, so that the bottom part of the
kettle fits closely to the base. Connect the power plug to an electrical
outlet. Depending on the model move the on/off switch down (on) to start the
heating process, the indicator light lights up or use the button in the
handle. When the water boils, the on/off switch automatically returns to its
originalposition and the indicator light goes off. You can also switched off
the kettle manually by moving the on/off switch up. It is now safe to pour hot
water into another vessel through the outlet pout. The kettle is equipped with
an automatic safety switch. To prevent damage in case of improper use or if
the appliance is switched on by accident without water or if the water
evaporates – then automatic safety switch automatically turns off the heating
element. In this case, immediately pull out the power plug from the wall
outlet and refill the kettle only after sufficient time for it to cool down,
i.e. after approximately 15-20 minutes.
Descaling:
If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it means descaling
isrequired. You can use standard descaling agents, provided that appropriate
instructions are followed. Do not fill the kettle up to the top mark to
prevent spillage, if the descaling agent causes water foaming. To thoroughly
remove any deposits after descaling, boil clean water several times, then
rinse the kettle with clean water.
Cleaning:
Before cleaning, make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power
source. Furthermore, it must cool down completely. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaning agents. Do not immerse the base or the kettle in any liquid.

recommended to regularly remove limescale deposits from the kettle.
Descaling:
