Check if the voltage indicated on the base of the kettle corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.
Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and stable surface.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of the reach of children. Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop. Excess cord can be stored in the base of the appliance.
Keep the cord, the base and the appliance away from hot surfaces.
Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug, the base or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the mains cord is damaged, it must always be replaced by Gorenje, a service centre authorised by Gorenje or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water or any other liquid.
The kettle is only meant for boiling water. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food. Boiling water can cause serious burns. Be careful when the kettle contains hot water.
Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum level indication. If the kettle has been overfilled, boiling water may be ejected from the spout and cause scalding.
Do not open the lid while the water is boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately after the water has boiled: the steam coming out of the kettle is very hot.

Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defects.
Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small spots may appear on the heating element of your kettle when you use it. This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the heating element and on the inside of the kettle over time. The harder the water, the faster scale will build up. Scale can occur in different colours. Although scale is harmless, too much scale can influence the performance of your kettle. Descale your kettle regularly by following the instructions given in the chapter 'Descaling'.

lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or worktop. The excess cord can be stored in the base of the appliance.
Keep the cord, base and appliance away from hot surfaces. Do not use the appliance if the cord, plug, base or the appliance itself is damaged.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Gorenje, an authorized Gorenje service center or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard. Never immerse the appliance or its base in water or any other liquid.
The kettle is intended only for boiling water. Do not use it for heating up milk or other liquids, or for preserving or boiling food.
Boiling water may cause severe burns. Be careful when there is hot water in the kettle.
Never fill the kettle above the maximum level. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected from the spout and cause burns. Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

Avoid touching the body of the kettle, as it becomes very hot during operation. Always hold the kettle by the handle.
Always make sure that the water in the kettle covers at least the minimum level, to prevent the kettle from boiling dry.
Condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is quite normal and does not mean that the kettle has any defect. Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, white spots may appear on the heating element and on the inside surface of the kettle during use. This is due to the formation of limescale over time on the heating element and the inner surface of the kettle. The harder the water, the faster limescale will form. Limescale may appear in different colors. Although limescale is harmless, too much limescale can impair the efficient operation of the kettle. Clean it regularly from limescale, following the instructions given in
the section "Cleaning and descaling the kettle".
This device is marked in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

The anti-scale filter can be cleaned as follows:
- Remove the filter from the appliance.
- Rinse it under running water while gently squeezing and twisting it.

Do not touch the kettle body, as it becomes very hot during use.
Always hold the kettle by the handle. To prevent water from spilling out of the kettle, always check that the water level covers the bottom. Condensation may appear on the kettle platform. This is normal and does not indicate a defect.
Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small stains may appear on the heating element during use of the kettle. This is due to the formation of scale on the heating element and inside the kettle, which occurs over time. The harder the water, the more scale builds up. Scale can be removed with descaling agents. If you want to remove it completely, regularly descale the kettle. Regularly descale the kettle according to the instructions in the "Descaling" section.
