Do not open the lid during the boiling process. Allow the device to cool down before fi lling it again! – Pour out boiling water slowly and carefully without tipping the device too quickly. – Do not move the device during the boiling process. – The mains cable must not hang down from the surface on which the device is placed in order to prevent the device from being pulled down. ■ Danger of tripping! Make sure that the connected mains cable does not present a trip hazard. NOTICE – Risk of Damage to Material and Property ■ The base station should only be connected to a properly installed plug socket with safety contacts. The socket must be readily accessible so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must be the same as that stated in the technical data for the base station. ■ Only use suitable extension cables whose technical data is the same as that of the base station. ■ Remove the mains plug if a fault occurs during operation or before a thunderstorm. ■ Protect the device from other heat sources, naked fl ames, sub-zero temperatures, direct sunlight, persistent moisture and collisions. ■ Do not operate the device without water or with less water than is required to reach the MIN marking. If this does happen, the device switches off automatically. In this case, allow the device to cool down before cold water is poured in and the device is switched on. ■ Allow the kettle to cool down before it is fi lled with cold water to prevent glass break- age. ■ Make sure that the mains cable is not squashed, bent or laid over sharp edges and does not come into contact with hot surfaces (e. g. of the device). ■ When the mains plug is removed from the plug socket, always pull on the mains plug and never the mains cable. Do not pull or carry the base station by the mains cable. ■ Never place heavy objects on the base station or the mains cable. ■ Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer.
