IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including
the following :
Always read the instructions before first use and keep them handy for future reference.
Only use the kettle to heat water. Never heat other liquids in the kettle.
Only plug the kettle into a grounded power outlet. Check that the voltage on the rating
plate of the appliance corresponds to that of your electrical installation.
Keep the kettle and its power cord away from any source of heat, any wet or slippery
surface and away from sharp angles.
Your kettle should only be used with its lid locked, with the base and the anti-scale filter
installed.
To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug,
or machine in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
