INSTALLATION
Place the appliance on a stable at
surface which is neither hot nor near
a heat source. The surface must be
dry. Keep the appliance and its mains
cable out of reach of children.
During use, do not place the base
unit on a metal tray or a metal sur-
face.
Ensure that the voltage indicated
on the rating plate of the appliance
agrees with the mains voltage in your
area. Connect the appliance only to
a properly earthed power point with
a minimum output of 12.5A. (Use
a residual current device (RCD) seek
the advice of an electrician.) While
the appliance is in use, the mains
plug must be accessible in case
of an emergency. The manufacturer
declines any liability for accidents
caused by faulty or non-existing earth-
ing of the appliance.
If the power point is unsuitable for
accommodating the plug of your
appliance, have the power point
changed by a licensed electrician.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Power Cord
A short power-supply cord is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or trip-
ping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If an extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the exten-
sion cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, if the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord
should be grounding -type 3-wire
cord. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
Switching off the kettle manually
The ON/OFF button (7) can be used
to switch the kettle off before the
water has reached the required tem-
perature.
Safety cut-off
The kettle is protected against dam-
age resulting from use with an insuf -
cient volume of water. A safety cut-off
will automatically disconnect its
power supply if the heating element
overheats. Should the kettle ever
boil dry during operation, you must
leave it to cool for 10 minutes before
re lling it with cold water. The safety
cut-off will reset automatically once it
has cooled.
