Risk of electric shock!

• A faulty electrical installation, excessive power supply

voltage, or incorrect use can result in electric shock.

• The kettle should not be operated with an external timer or a

separate remote control system.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit

in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified technician. Do not modify the plug in any

way.

• Always take hold of the power cord by the plug and do not

pull on the cord itself.

• Do not place any items of furniture or other heavy objects on

the power cord. Make sure that the cord is not bent,

especially in the area near the plug.

• Ensure that the power cord does not come into contact with

hot or sharp areas or edges in order to avoid damage.

• Ensure that the power cord does not come into contact with

any of the hot surfaces of the kettle. A damaged power cord

can cause fire or electric shock.

• Only connect the kettle to a power socket that is always

easily accessible. Only operate the kettle with the voltage

specified on the rating plate, otherwise there is a risk of

electric shock!

• Do not use an adapter plug or extension cable that does not

meet the relevant safety standards and do not perform any

procedures on the power cord yourself! If the power cord is

SilverCrest SWKH 1500 A1

US-EN - 7

damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their

service department or by a similarly qualified person in order

to avoid hazards.

• Never make a knot in the power cord and do not bundle it

with other cords. The power cord should be laid in such a

way that no one steps on it or is obstructed by it. There is a

risk of injury.

• If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or smells, unplug the

kettle’s power cord from the power socket immediately. If this

happens, you must stop using the kettle until it has been

checked by a specialist.

• Repairs are required if the kettle has been damaged, liquids

or objects have gotten inside the housing, the kettle has been

exposed to rain or moisture or if the kettle is not functioning

properly or has been dropped. All repairs should only be

carried out by qualified technicians.

• Never open the housing of the base (7), as this does not

contain any parts to be maintained. If the housing is open,

there is a risk of electric shock.

• The kettle must always be disconnected from the mains

network if left unattended and prior to cleaning.

• Never immerse the base (7) or the pot (8) in water or any

other liquid. If liquid enters into the base (7), disconnect the

plug from the power socket immediately and contact the

service department.

• Do not spill liquid onto the device plug connection.

• Fill the pot (8) with water at least to the MIN mark. If you do

not pour in enough water, there is a risk of fire due to

overheating.

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the kettle may cause injury to

the user.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks

resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a

longer cord.

• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords

are available and may be used if care is exercised in their

use.

SilverCrest SWKH 1500 A1

US-EN - 9

• If a long detachable power-supply or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-

supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great

as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension

cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and

3. 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.

• Never touch the housing of the pot (8) during and

immediately after operation. Only use the handle (3) to hold

or carry the pot (8).

6. Before Initial Use

Remove the SWKH 1500 A1 kettle and all accessories from the packaging and check the

completeness of the delivery. Remove all protective film. Keep the packaging material away from

children and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.

7. Initial Use

Before you prepare water for consumption for the first time, you must first clean the kettle (8) in

order to remove dust and any remnants of the packaging material. Do so by proceeding as follows:

1. Open the lid (1) by pressing the lid release button (2) and rinse the kettle (8) with clear water.

2. Fill the kettle (8) with drinking water up to the ‘1.7 l MAX’ mark.

3. Close the lid (1) by pressing it down until it snaps into place. Boil the water once (see ‘Boiling

the water’ section below) and pour it out.

Repeat steps 1–3. The kettle (8) is now clean and disinfected. You can now use the kettle (8).

7.1. Boiling the water

Keep the base (7) away from water. There is a risk of death by

electric shock.

Boil the water and pour it away twice before you use the kettle for the first time

(see the previous section on “Initial Use”).

Always use fresh drinking water. Do not drink water that has been in the pot (8)

for longer than an hour. Do not reheat water that has cooled down. Always

pour away old water. Otherwise germs may form.

SilverCrest SWKH 1500 A1

US-EN - 13

Cable rewind

An integrated cable rewind is located on

the underside of the base (7). You can

adapt the length of the power cable (6) to

the conditions at the location in which you

are using the kettle.

You can minimize the length of the cord

when you are not using the kettle.

• Unwind the power cable (6) on the underside of the base (7).

• Place the base (7) on a flat, non-slip and dry surface. Make sure that the power cable (6)

passes through one of the openings on the underside of the base (7). This is to ensure that the

pot is positioned securely.

If the power cord (6) does not pass through one of the openings on the

underside of the base (7), the base (7) and pot (8) are not positioned securely.

The movement of the boiling water can make the kettle tip over and cause

serious damage to property and cause injuries!

• Open the lid (1) by pressing the lid release button (2).

“Minimum filling” display

The minimum amount of water to add is

16.9 fl oz / 0.5 liters. This small amount

can not be displayed on the external

water level gauge (4).

For this reason, there is a special mark

inside the kettle (8) that precisely

displays the minimum filling amount

when you are filling in water. This mark

can be seen inside the pot (8) when the

lid (1) is open.

• Fill the pot (8) with drinking water up to a minimum of the interior ‘0.5 l MIN’ mark and a

maximum of the ‘1.7 l MAX’ mark on the inside of the water level gauge (4) and shut the lid

(1).

You can freely rotate the kettle (8) by 360° around its vertical axis when you place it

on the base (7). The pot does not need to be locked into a particular position. This

way, you can turn the kettle (8) so that the water level gauge (4) is easy to see or to

direct the steam from the kettle (8) away from you.

SilverCrest SWKH 1500 A1

• Connect the plug to a power socket that is always easily accessible.

• Place the kettle (8) on the base (7) and press the ON/OFF switch (5) down in order to switch

on the kettle (8). The status display in the ON/OFF switch (5) lights up. The kettle (8) makes

noise during the heating process. This is not due to a malfunction.

DANGER of burn injuries

Turn the pot (8) so that the steam is directed away from you.

Otherwise you could burn yourself.

Only boil the water with the closed lid (1) on. Otherwise the pot (8)

can tip over and cause burn injuries and damage to property.

• As soon as the water boils, the kettle (8) switches off. The ON/OFF switch (5) automatically

returns to the upper position and the status display in the ON/OFF switch (5) goes out.

• Pull out the power cable (6) plug from the socket, remove the kettle (8) from the base (7) and

pour out the water.

DANGER of burn injuries

Never touch the housing of the pot (8) during and immediately after

operation. Only use the handle (3) to hold or carry the pot (8).

Hot steam is released when the water boils. Make sure not to burn

yourself. Wear an oven glove, if necessary. Turn the pot (8) so that

the steam is directed away from you.

Always make sure that the lid (1) is shut when pouring out the

water. Hot water could otherwise flow out of the opening at the top

used to fill the kettle.

8. Cleaning and Maintenance

Always remove the plug from the power socket before cleaning

commences. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the base (7) or immerse it in

water or any other liquids. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock

and a fire hazard due to short circuits.

DANGER of burn injuries

Wait until the pot (8) has cooled down completely before cleaning it.

Otherwise you could burn yourself.
