intended for use by
persons (including
children) with reduced
physical, sensory or
mental capabilities,
or lack of experience
or knowledge, unless

responsible for their
safety.

• This appliance is
equipped with a power
cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding
plug. The appliance must

grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock.
• If the appliance is of
the grounded type, the
extension cord should be
a grounding 3-wire cord.
• If the power outlet is
a standard 2-prong
wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
• Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground)
prong from the power
cord or use an adapter.

• Consult a qualified
electrician if the
grounding instructions

understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the
appliance is properly
grounded.
WARNING
Do not operate the kettle
on an inclined surface.
Do not move the appliance
while it is switched on.
SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance is
fitted with a short power
supply cord to reduce
personal injury or property
damage resulting from
pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with
a longer cord. If an
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
countertop or table-top
where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped
over unintentionally and
(3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.
BREVILLE ASSIST® PLUG
Your Breville appliance
comes with a unique
®
Assist
Plug, conveniently
designed with a finger
hole to ease removal from
the wall outlet. For safety
reasons it is recommended
you plug your Breville
appliance directly into its
own electrical outlet on a
dedicated circuit separate
from other appliances.
If the electric circuit is
overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance
may not function properly.
It is not recommended to
use with a power strip.
