Dear Customer,

Before using the appliance, read the following instructions carefully and keep this manual for future reference. The appliance must only be used by those familiar with the instructions below.

Important safety instructions

Danger to certain categories of persons

There is an increased risk of injury for children and for people with reduced capabilities:

- This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

• Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age.

- The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

- Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.

- Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – these materials are a potential

source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.

Risk of electric shock

The device is powered by electricity, and so there is always a risk of electric shock. The following precautions are therefore to be taken:

- Every time the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the

appliance.

- The appliance should only be connected to a socket installed in accordance with the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label.

- Because the kettle uses high power, it must not be operated with any type of extension cable.

- Always remove the plug from the wall socket - after use, - in case of any malfunction, - before cleaning the appliance.

- When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. - Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

- The electrical connections in the base must be protected at all times against possible contact with water.

- Do not clean the water container and the base with liquids and do not immerse them; do not clean under running water.

- The kettle may only be operated with the base provided with the appliance.

- Never remove the water container from the base (or replace it) while the appliance is switched on.

Danger of burns and scalding

- The exterior surfaces become hot during use and will remain so for some time afterwards.

- Do not leave the kettle

unattended during operation. Use only pure water when fi lling the container to the desired level, observing the Min. (0.5 l) and Max. (1.5 l for tea or 1.7 l for water only) markings. Overfi lling the container may cause danger if boiling water is forced out.

• For boiling water only, always remove the tea fi iter.
• Do not exceed to 70 °C when re-heating tea.

Caution: Do not bring to a boil, as the liquid may foam over.

• Also beware of the danger of scalding from hot steam being emitted. Therefore, do not touch any parts of the appliance except the handle during use.
• During the boiling process

and when pouring out hot water, the lid must be kept closed at all times.

Lack of hygiene

Lack of hygiene may result in germs forming inside the appliance:

• Clean the appliance thoroughly before using it for the first time.
• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
• The appliance must be descaled at regular intervals. Clean the water container as necessary with a damp cloth.
  • Detailed information on cleaning the appliance can be found in the section Cleaning and care.

Danger of damage to the unit

Incorrect handling of the appliance can cause damage:

• Always let the appliance cool down fi rst before re-fi lling with fresh water.
• Always place the unit on a dry, level, non-slip and heat-resistant surface, which is impervious to contact with the rubber feet.
• Do not operate the appliance below a hanging cupboard or similar object; there is a risk that escaping steam may be trapped underneath.

- Do not let the power cord hang free.

- Do not kink or pinch the power cord. Keep both the cord and the appliance

itself well away from heat sources (eg hot-plates, gas flames).

• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the water container and the base with liquids and do not immerse them. Do not clean under running water.
• For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free cloth may be used.
• The lid can be removed to allow the interior to be cleaned.
• The tea filter may be cleaned under running hot water, or can be left inside the container during descaling.
