  • farm houses;
  • by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
  • bed and breakfast type environments.

• Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord, the base or the appliance itself is damaged.

Overview

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Keep this appliance and its cord out of reach of children aged less than 8 year.

• If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected.

• The kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.

• Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance stands. Excess cord can be stored in or around the  base of the appliance.

• Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the kettle contains hot water.

• Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum level indication.

• Do not touch the body of the kettle during and some time after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift the kettle by its handle.

• Do not open the lid while the water is heating up or boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately after the water has boiled: the steam coming out of the kettle is very hot.

• Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.

• This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 10 amps from the power supply in your home. Make sure that the electrical system in your home and the circuit to which the kettle is connected can cope with this level of power consumption. Do not let too many other appliances draw power from the same circuit while the kettle is being used.

• WARNING: Make sure to avoid spillage on the power connector to avoid a potential hazard.

• WARNING: Always follow the instructions and use the appliance properly to avoid potential injury.
  Caution
  

• CAUTION: Surface of the heating element is subject to residual heat after use.

• CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

• Use a soft damp cloth to clean the surfaces in contact with water.

• Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable surface.

• When the kettle is broken or crack, stop to use immediately.

•  The kettle is only intended for boiling water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.

• Never fill the kettle below the minimum level to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.

• Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small spots may appear on the heating element of your kettle when you use it. This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the heating element and on the inside of the
  kettle over time. The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Scale can occur in different colors.
  Although scale is harmless, too much scale can influence the performance of your kettle. Descale your kettle regularly by following the instructions given in the chapter “Descaling”.

•  Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defects.

Boil-dry protection device automatically switches off the kettle if it is accidentally switched on when there is no water or not enough water in it. The on/off switch will move to off position and power-on light off. Let it cool down.  The kettle is ready for use again.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF)
This appliance complies with the applicable standards and regulations regarding exposure to electromagnetic fields.
