Positioning and connecting

• To avoid accidents and damages, always put the appliance on a level, dry and slip-proof surface which is insensitive to heat and water splashes.
• Never put the appliance on a hotplate or close to a hot oven.
• Connect the appliance only to a wall socket that has been installed according to regulations. Check that your mains voltage corresponds to the technical data of the appliance. If necessary, use a proper extension cord, and make sure the technical data correspond to those of the appliance.
• Your appliance must never be switched on through an external timer or any kind of separate remote control system, or be connected with an electric circuit that is switched on and off regularly by a device.
• The electric water jug can only be used with the foreseen support.
• Make sure the cord cannot get caught in any way. Make sure the cord never comes into contact with the hot parts of the appliance. Make sure the cord never comes into contact with moisture or humidity to avoid danger of electrocution.
• To ensure a major security, it is recommended to set up a current flight jump of 30mA in the electric circuit that supplies the household. Ask your electrician for advice.

Before the first use

• Remove all packaging material and protective foils.
• Before boiling water with the appliance for the first time, we recommend cleaning the appliance by boiling water several times and rinsing the appliance afterwards.

Use

• Never leave the appliance unsupervised when in use.
• To fill the jug with water always remove it from the base station. Make sure that no water runs down the appliance on the outside, it could penetrate into the inner part of the appliance and damage the electric parts.
• Please note: Do not operate the electric water jug with too much or too little water. The water level must always be between the MIN and MAX marks on the water level scale. When you overfill the appliance, there is a risk of burning because of overflowing or spouting boiling water.

- Watch out! Danger of burning! The appliance becomes very hot during use! In order to avoid risks of burning, use the thermally insulated slider on the lid to open and close the lid. Never touch the hot lid or housing. Be careful as very hot steam escapes when the water is boiling!

- During the operation of electrical heating appliances, high temperatures arise – due to boiling water, hot steam and a hot housing and lid – which may lead to injuries. Take the hot electric water jug by its handle only. As long as the appliance is in operation and boils water, do not open the lid in order to avoid scalding!

- Caution! Never heat the appliance without water or with an open lid! Otherwise there is a danger of overheating and escape of hot steam.

- When the appliance is in operation, there should be no materials that are sensitive to heat or steam in the immediate surroundings! Keep a sufficient safety distance to walls, furniture, etc.

• Make sure the cord never comes into contact with the hot parts of the appliance (such as the metal housing).
• Do not move the appliance when it is in hot condition. Let it cool down sufficiently before cleaning and storing it.
• Never use the appliance outside and always place it in a dry environment. The appliance is not intended for outdoor use. Air humidity and weather effects may damage the appliance.
• Only prepare water with this appliance, it is not intended to cook foodstuffs.
• Always keep the appliance clean and do not let water in the jug when you store the appliance in order to avoid calcification.

Cleaning and storage

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.
• Wait to wind up the power cord until the appliance has cooled down completely.
