GENERAL
Note: When you lift your kettle, you may see moisture on the stand. This
is normal and is caused by the steam used to switch your kettle off
automatically.
BOIL DRY PROTECTION
If your kettle boils dry, a safety cut-out device will automatically switch it
off. If this happens, unplug your kettle and allow it to cool down until the
cut-out resets itself. Allowing your kettle to boil dry will shorten the life
of the element.
