CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

This product conforms to the requirements of the following European Directives on safety:

OPERATION - General The appliance is intended only for domestic use, not for professional use.

5. Power cord with plug

OPERATION - Before use for the first time When using the jug kettle for the first time, boil three jugs of water and dispose of the boiled water. This will remove the last traces from the manufacturing process. OPERATION - Boiling water

3. Fill the jug with the required quantity of water (at least 0.5 litres,

and a maximum of 0.8 litres). Never fill the water boiler over the “max” indicator on the inside of the kettle (see figure 1). Otherwise the hot water can spatter out of the spout. Make sure that you do not spill any water.

• Make sure the lid is locked while pouring water, otherwise it may fall. To lock the lid, turn the lid a quarter after closing (see figure 2).

• The ceramic jug and spout become hot during usage, and stay hot for a certain amount of time.

• Prevent high temperature differences: sudden replacement of boiling water by cold water can cause cracks in the teapot.

5. Position the kettle on the base in such a way that the underside of

the kettle fits precisely into the contact unit on the base.

6. Insert the plug in the wall socket. Push down the On/off switch. The

On/Off pilot light will illuminate.

to heat. The jug kettle switches off automatically a few seconds after the water has come to the boil. The On/Off pilot light will now extinguish.

8. Remove the jug by the handle, and pour the water out.

• Be carefull you do not contact the hot water. It can cause serious burning wounds.

time you require by pushing the On/off switch.
