ATTENTION :
Read this booklet carefully as it contains important instructions for a safe
installation, use and maintenance.
Important instructions to be kept for future reference.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using
electrical appliances:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
The Appliance
2. 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.
3. 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 100C, the boiling point of
water.
4. 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.
5. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT
operate the appliance if the appliance has been dropped. Check that the
exterior of the appliance and the Inner Pot are not cracked, chipped, warped,
melted, discoloured or otherwise damaged in one way or another. In case you
are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer / service agent or a qualified technician
in order to avoid a shock hazard.
6. 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.
7. 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. To
prevent overloading and blown fuses, ensure that no other high powered
appliance is plugged into the same socket.
8. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other
remote control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
9. 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 Lids
belonging to other models from the same manufacturer or other manufacturers.
Doing so will void the warranty and may cause serious injury.
10. 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
11. 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.
12. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of,
objects which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets, plastics, curtains or
textiles. DO NOT use the appliance when placed in a closed cabinet. 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 due to the involvement of water. If the appliance is
operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to
delicate finishes.
13. 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.
14. 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.

operate with the Lid open & ensure that the Lid is closed during heating;
dispense when the water inside the Inner Pot is boiling;
place any container inside the appliance;
switch the appliance ON if it is empty – however, should the Inner Pot be
found empty during operation, immediately switch the appliance OFF. Allow the
pot to cool naturally;

at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be
angled away from the Spout.
17. 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).
18. DO NOT soak the appliance as well as its power cable (including its two
ends the connector and plug) in water or other liquids, wash it under the
tap, or let any liquid flow into the internal casing (especially the Base
Socket) of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental fall
in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but immediately switch the wall switch
OFF and detach the plug from the wall socket.
19. 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.
