following:
1. Connect and operate the appliance only in
accordance with the specifications on the
rating plate.
2. Read all the instructions before using the
appliance.
3. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of
a table / counter or touch any hot surfaces.
4. Do not place the appliance on or near a hot
gas / electric burner or in a heated oven.
5. Do not operate the appliance without
anything in it to avoid damaging the heating
elements.
6. Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm flat
surface out of the reach of children. This
will prevent the kettle from overturning and
causing damage or injury.
7. As a protection against fire, electric shocks
or personal injury, do not immerse the cord,
electric plugs or kettle in water or other
liquids.
8. While the water is boiling or just after the
water has boiled, avoid any contact with the
steam.
9. Always take care to pour boiling water slowly
and carefully without tipping the kettle too
fast.
10. Be careful when refilling a hot kettle.
11. The attached base cannot be used for any
other purpose than its intended use.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving
an appliance containing hot water.
13. The use of accessory attachments that
are not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer, may result in fire, electric
shocks or personal injury.
14. Unplug the kettle from the outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow the kettle to
