Please read through this user manual thoroughly before using your Solis
Thermo Kettle so that you become familiar with your appliance and can use
it safely. We thoroughly recommend that you keep these instructions and, if
you pass the appliance on, that you also hand these instructions to the new
owner.
For your own safety, please observe the following safety measures when
using elec trical appliances:
1. To prevent electric shock, neither the appliance base nor the power cord or plug
must come into contact with water or other liquids. Water can enter the hous-
ing and damage the appliance! Should the appliance base resp. the power cord
or plug come into contact with liquids, use dry rubber gloves to pull the power
plug from the socket.
2. The kettle itself must not be submerged in water or other liquids and has to be
completely dry on the outside and bottom when being placed on the appliance
base.
3. Do not operate or unplug the appliance with wet or moist hands or feet.
4. Before using the appliance, check that the voltage stated on the type plate
matches your mains voltage.
5. Place the appliance while in function on a solid, stable, clean and dry surface, like
a table or work top. Never use the electric kettle near the edge of a table. Make
sure it is kept out of the reach of children and pets to prevent it from being pulled
down and damaged with the escaping boiling water causing scaldings.
6. Do not leave the power cable hanging over table edges so that it can be pulled.
Make sure that it does not come into contact with hot surfaces, such as hotplates
or a radiator, or that it comes into contact with the appliance. Fully unwind the
cord before use.
7. Keep the appliance away from hot gas, hot ovens and other heat-emitting appli-
ances or heat sources. Never use the appliance on a hot or wet surface. Never
place the appliance near moisture, heat and naked flames. Keep the appliance
away from moving parts or appliances.
8. Never carry the appliance by the power cable and do not place it on the power
cable.
9. We recommend that you do not use an extension cable with this appliance. Do
not place the appliance directly underneath a power socket.
10. Unplug the appliance when it is not in use or unattended and before cleaning.

additional protection during the use of electrical appliances. It is advisable to use
