nies or by the customer service department. Improper repairs

may put the user at risk. They will also invalidate any warranty

claims.

► Any changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by

the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate this appliance.

► Ensure that the appliance is stable and vertical before turn-

ing

it on. Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.

► Keep lid closed when boiling water - otherwise, the auto-

matic shutoﬀ cannot work. Boiling water could then splash

out over

the rim.

► Bursts of hot steam may be released. The kettle also

becomes extremely hot during use. It is always best to wear

oven mitts when handling the kettle.

► Do not remove the lid while the water is boiling.

► Do not ﬁll the kettle past the line marked "MAX"! Otherwise,

boiling water may spill out!

come into contact with heat sources such as hotplates or naked

ﬂames.

► The surface of the heating unit retains residual heat after use.

► Improper use of the appliance can put the user at risk of injury.

Always use the appliance as intended!

Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, there

is only one way this plug is intended to ﬁt into a

polarized outlet. If the plug does not completely ﬁt into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to

modify the plug in any way.

► A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be

used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping

over a longer cord.

► Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords may

be used if they are used carefully.

► If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be

at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-

top or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children,

or tripped over unintentionally; and

3) If the appliance has a grounded plug, the cord set or extension cord

should also be a grounded 3-wire cord.
