• Do not coil the cord around the base during the process.
You can only winding the cord around for storing.
• Keep the main cord, the base and the kettle away from
hot surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance on an enclosed surface (e.g.
a serving tray), as this could cause water to accumulate
under the appliance, resulting in a hazardous situation.
• Hot water can cause serious burns. Be careful
when the kettle contains hot water.
• Do not touch the body of the kettle during and some time
after use, as it gets very hot. Always lift the kettle by its
handle.
• 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. Always fill the
kettle above the minimum level to prevent damage on
your kettle.
• Do not open the lid while the water is heating up or
boiling. Be careful when you open the lid immediately
after the water has boiled: the steam that comes out of
the kettle is very hot.
• This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 16 amps from
the power supply in your home. Make sure that the
electrical system in your home and the circuit to which
the kettle is connected can cope with this level of power
consumption. Do not let too many other appliances draw
power from the same circuit while the kettle is being
used.
• Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.
• Do not connect the appliance to an external switching
device such as a timer and do not connect it to a circuit
that is regularly switched on and off by the utility. This
prevents a hazard that could be caused by inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-out.
• Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat and
stable surface.
• The kettle is only intended for boiling water and making
tea. Do not use it to heat up soup or other liquids or
jarred, bottled or tinned food.
• Never fill the kettle below the MIN 0.3L level to prevent it
from boiling dry.
• 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 builds 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 chapter 'CLEANING + DESCALING'.
• Some condensation may appear on the base of the
kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that
the kettle has any defects.
• Only to use with the related glass jar! Do not use another
jar/pot on this base!
