electrical appliances:
-
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance -
This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
-
The appliance is designed for heating water only. DO NOT put other liquids into the appliance. Different liquids have different boiling points, with volatile liquids having boiling points lower than 100ºC, the boiling point of water.
-
The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
-
Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate the appliance when its housing is damaged or if the appliance has been dropped. In case you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
-
Before powering the appliance, make sure the rating (voltage and frequency) corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth wire for extra safety.
-
Avoid the use of adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the electrical parameters of the adapters.
-
The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
-
Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other Bases or Kettle Jugs belonging to other models from the same manufacturer or other manufacturers. Doing so will void the warranty and may cause serious injury.
-
The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of danger.
Location -
This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
-
The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects, which can be damaged by heat such as carpets or plastics. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above or adjacent to it may become very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free space from the back, left & right sides and at least 20 cm from the top of the appliance to allow adequate air circulation. Never put things on top of the Lid. DO NOT locate multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the appliance. Never use the appliance near curtains or textiles. If the appliance is operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
-
Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be damaged easily. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the cable.
-
DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of the sun and dust.
Operation -
If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the interior of the Kettle Jug with water & detergent with a non- abrasive sponge. DO NOT use metal scouring pads nor use solvents like paint thinners or acetone.
Notice: you should NOT use a dishwasher to clean the Kettle Jug or Base.
b. Fill the appliance by pressing the Lid and filling the appliance with clean water to maximum capacity. Close the Lid.
c. Place the Base on a dry, horizontal, stable and heat-resistant surface. Plug the power cable attached to the Base into the wall socket. Switch the wall socket ON. Press the ON/OFF Switch on the Handle down. Heating will commence immediately.
d. The appliance switches off automatically several seconds after water has started boiling. Switch the wall switch OFF and unplug the power cable from the wall socket. Wait for the water to cool after boiling. Discard the water.
e. Rinse the Lid and internal surface of the Kettle Jug under running water. Be careful NOT to allow water to enter the internal parts of the Kettle Jug or the Base. Thereafter the appliance is safe to use.
f. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
DO NOT:
– cover the appliance during functioning;
– obstruct totally nor partially the Spout;
– insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
– overfill water (beyond the MAX mark on the container) to avoid overflow of hot water;
– place the appliance and heat it by any other means, e.g. in a microwave, oven or on a frying pan filled with water and placed directly on a gas stove, as the plastic components can be deformed as a result;
– switch the appliance on if it is empty – however, should the appliance be found empty during operation, immediately press the ON/OFF Switch up, switch the wall switch OFF and unplug the power cable from the wall socket.
Add water to the inside of the Kettle Jug;
– press the ON/OFF Switch too forcefully;
– leave the appliance unsupervised during operation. -
During the period of heating/boiling, high temperature steam will be emitted from the Spout. To avoid scalding:
DO NOT:
– fill the appliance with hot water;
– fill the appliance with less than 50% & beyond the maximum volume indicated;
– allow all of the water to be boiled away;
– operate with the Lid open & ensure that the Lid is tightly closed during heating;
– place any container inside the appliance;
– touch any part of the appliance, except the Handle, ON/OFF Switch and power cable, when the appliance is filled with hot/boiling water. The Base and the bottom of the appliance become exceedingly hot as the appliance operates. Do note that the liquids & gases inside the appliance itself would still be very hot during heating, and for some time after the plug has been pulled out of the wall socket;
– move the appliance using the Lid. Once boiling has completed, the power turned off, the power cable unplugged from the appliance as well as the wall socket, move the Kettle Jug containing hot water using the Handle carefully;
– direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be angled away from the Spout. -
During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).
-
DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock.
In case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all switch the appliance off. -
Switch the appliance OFF before unplugging the appliance. Plug and unplug the power cable firmly holding it with dry hands. Always unplug the power cable before filling & emptying the appliance; to avoid overheating; if it is NOT used for a long period and before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation. Prior to the latter, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes.
-
In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning, switch off the appliance immediately, turn off the power and check the cause of the anomaly, if possible, with the support of a qualified person.
