base of the kettle corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the appliance.
Use the kettle only with its original base.
Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, flat

children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance. Keep the appliance

Never fill the kettle beyond the maximum level
indication. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water
may eject from the spout and cause scalding.
Do not open the lid while the water is boiling. Be
careful when you open the lid immediately after
the water has boiled: the steam coming out of the

Some condensation may appear on the base of
the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not
mean that the kettle is damaged.
Depending on the hardness of the water in your

element of your kettle when you use it. This
phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the
heating element and on the inside of the kettle
over time. The harder the water, the faster scale
will build up. Scale can occur in different colours.
Although scale is harmless, too much scale can
influence the performance of your kettle. Descale
