9. Do not clean the electric kettle or the base in a dish-washer.

10. Never touch the appliance or power cord with wet hands.

11. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

■ staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

■ bed and breakfast type environments.

1. For safety reasons, never place the appliance on hot surfaces, a metal tray or a wet surface.
2. Do not place the appliance or power cord near open flames during operation.
3. Always use the electric kettle on a level, uncluttered and heat-resistant surface.

4. Make sure that the power cord does not hang over the edge of the countertop or table, since this can cause accidents, for example if small children pull on the cord.

5. Route the power cord so that there is no possibility of the cord being pulled or tripped over.

6. Never wrap the power cord around the appliance.
7. Use the electric kettle only indoors.
8. Use the appliance only for heating water. Do not use it to heat milk or other liquids, since they will boil over when heated.
9. Never heat objects such as cans or bottles in the electric kettle.
10. Make sure that the lid of the appliance is always completely closed, to prevent injuries from hot splashing water.
11. Do not open the lid as long as the water is boiling, to prevent injuries from hot splashing water.
12. Never fill the appliance with more than 1.8 liters of water, to prevent the water from boiling over.

15. Do not move the appliance as long as it is in operation, to prevent burns from splashing water.
16. The electric kettle features boil dry protection, which means the appliance shuts

off automatically if the heating element becomes too hot. Allow the appliance to cool about 15 minutes. Then fill the electric kettle with cold water. The boil dry protection is deactivated and the appliance is ready for operation again.

1. Do not use the appliance with accessories of other manufacturers or brands, to prevent damage.

2. Unplug the appliance from the power supply after use and prior to cleaning. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in to the power supply.

In case of damage to the power cord or other parts, please send the appliance or the base for inspection and repair to our after sales service (for address, see warranty terms). Unauthorized repairs can result in serious risks to the user and void the warranty.

4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

DESCALING

1. The lime scale filter has to be cleaned regularly. Please empty the kettle completely and allow it to cool off. Carefully remove the filter from the pour spout. Clean the filter carefully with a soft brush under running water. You can also place the filter in a bowl with a descaling solution. Then rinse the filter with clear water and insert it in the pour spout.
