Important Safety Precautions - SOLIS 5514 Mode D'emploi

s IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read through this user manual thoroughly before
using your Solis Tea Kettle Classic so that you become famil-
iar 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 contacts in the bot-
tom of the jug and on 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 contacts
in the bottom of the jug and on the appliance base come into
contact with liquids, use dry rubber gloves to immediately pull
the power plug from the power socket. Do not use the appli-
ance before having it checked for functionality and safety by
Solis or a Solis approved service centre.
2. The glass jug 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. We recommend not using the appliance under heat
and moisture sensitive furniture resp. hanging cupboards. The
92
room should be well ventilated to allow the steam to escape
quickly.
6. Never use the Tea Kettle near the edge of a table. Make sure
it is kept out of the reach of children and pets to prevent it
from being pulled down and damaged with the escaping
boiling water causing scaldings.
7. Do not leave the power cable 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. Protect the appliance from frost. In winter, do not leave the
appliance in a car. Never place the appliance or the glass jug
alone in the fridge or the freezer, e.g. to make ice tea.
9. Keep the appliance away from hot gas, hot ovens and other
heat-emitting appliances or heat sources. Do not use the
appliance near flammable or explosive liquids or gases. Never
use the appliance 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.
10. Never carry the appliance by the power cable and do not place
it on the power cable.
11. We recommend that you do not use an extension cable with
this appliance. Do not connect the power plug to a plug
board to which other appliances are connected. Do not place
the appliance directly underneath a power socket.
12. Unplug the appliance when it is not in use or unattended and
before cleaning. We recommend the use of a residual current
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.
