Please read through this user manual thoroughly before
using your electric kettle Solis Cristallo 1.0 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 avoid electric shock, neither the appliance base nor the
power cord and plug resp. the electrical pins in the bottom of
the jug and the appliance base must come into contact with
water or any other liquids. Water can enter the housing and
damage the appliance! Should the appliance base resp. the
power cord or plug resp. the electrical pins in the bottom of
the jug and the appliance base come into contact with liquids,
use dry rubber gloves to immediately pull the power plug from
the power socket and do not use the appliance again before
having it checked for functionality and safety by Solis or a
service center authorized by Solis.
2. The kettle itself must not be submerged in water or other
liquids and has to be completely dry on the outside and bot-
tom 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 heat and moisture
resistant, level, stable, clean and dry surface, like a table or
work top. A minimum distance of 20 cm to walls, curtains or
heat resp. steam sensitive objects has to be kept at all times.
6. 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
30
it from being pulled down and damaged with the escaping
boiling water causing scaldings.
7. Do not leave the power cord 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.
8. Keep the appliance away from hot gas, hot ovens and other
heat-emitting appliances or heat sources. Never use the appli-
ance 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.
9. Never carry the appliance by the power cord and do not place
it on the power cord.
10. We recommend not using an extension cord with this appli-
ance. Do not plug the power plug into a power socket to
which other appliances are connected. Do not place the appli-
ance directly under a power socket.
11. Unplug the appliance when it is not in use or unattended and
before cleaning. We recommend the use of a residual cur-
rent device (RCD safety switch) to ensure additional protection
during the use of electrical appliances. It is advisable to use a
safety switch with a rated residual operating current of 30 mA
maximum. For professional advice consult an electrician.
12. Do not make any adjustments to the appliance, cable, plug or
accessories.
13. Do not leave the electric kettle unattended when in use. Incor-
rect use may cause injury!
14. Never take hold of an appliance that has fallen into water.
Always take the plug out of the power socket before remov-
ing the appliance from the water. Do not use the appliance
again until you have had it's ability to function safely checked
by Solis or a Solis approved service centre.
