ELECTRIC KETTLE
KH 1142
Intended use
This appliance is intended for the boiling-up of water
in domestic households. It is not intended for use
with other liquids or for commercial use.

Voltage : 230 V ~/ 50 Hz
Power consumption :3000 W
Volume: max. 1.7 l

In older electrical installations, the building fuse
(12A) may be triggered due to the high power
consumption.
Safety information
To avoid potentially fatal injury
through electric shock:
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections does not come into contact with water! If it
has unintentionally come into contact with water,
first allow it to dry out completely before taking it
into use.
• Only use the water boiler with the supplied
base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that
it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Always remove the plug from the power socket
after use. Simply switching the appliance off is
not sufficient, as the appliance is under power
for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.
To avoid burns and other injuries:
• Always heat water with the lid closed, otherwise
the automatic cut-out may not function. Boiling
water could then spray out over the rim.
• Hot steam clouds may be released. The boiler
also becomes very hot during operation. Wear
oven mitts.
• Ensure that the appliance is standing securely
and vertically before switching it on.
Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall
over.
• Exercise caution with the glass carafe. Shattered
glass can cause serious cut injuries.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance..
You can thus prevent the appliance
from being damaged:
• Under NO circumstances should you fill the carafe
with cold water immediately after boiling water.
This could create tensions in the glass that would
cause it to shatter!
