Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
Care must be taken when using any electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following precautions.
• Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Do not use any extension cord or multi socket outlet. The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating
current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your
electrician for further information.
• Always handle the power cord with care. The power cord may never be knotted, twisted or
squeezed. Do not pull or strain the power cord. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over
the edge of the table or counter. Take care that no one will pull the appliance by the power
cord, especially when young children are near. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet. Do not touch the plug or power base with wet hands, when the
plug is connected to the power supply.
• Before operation completely unwind the power cord, insert the power cord in the gap on the
bottom of the power base, and ensure that the power base will not tilt or wobble during operation. Do not place the kettle or power base on the power cord.
• Always switch off the kettle and unplug the power base from the power
outlet when not in use and before moving or cleaning the power base. Do
not leave the power base unattended while connected to the power supply.
