SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

Some appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit,
contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE THE FIRST OPERATION

For the perfect taste, operate the jug kettle with fresh water in order
to clean any residue left from the manufacturing process. When the
appliance has cooled down, repeat the process 3 times with fresh
water, before rinsing.

OPERATION

• Always remove the jug from the power base before filling it or
before any operation.

• Raise the lid and fill the tank with fresh water paying attention not
to fill under the minimum mark and above the maximum mark in
the kettle.

• Release the lid and make sure it closes correctly.

• Put the jug onto the power base, plug into the wall socket and

switch on. The pilot light of the switch will come on, indicating
that the appliance is operating. If it does not come on, check if
the kettle is correctly positioned on the base and check if the
base is plugged in.

• The jug kettle will switch off automatically when the water has
boiled. However, you can stop the appliance any time by putting
the switch in off position.

• For instant reboiling, wait until water has cooled down and switch
on the appliance again.

SAFETY CUT-OUT

• This jug kettle is protected with an automatic safety device if
accidentally switched on without water. Please bear in mind that
only the thermostat is switched off in case of overheat, whereas
the switch stays in ON-position.

• In this case, switch off the appliance by putting the switch in OFF
position and wait about 10 minutes for the element to cool. Then
pour in sufficient cold water to cover the element. This will reset
the safety device.

• The kettle may then be used as normal.

cloth and dry thoroughly. Never use abrasive products

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO

Algunos aparatos están provistos con un enchufe polarizado (una
pata es más ancha que la otra). Para reducir el riesgo de choque
eléctrico, este enchufe calza en el tomacorriente polarizado de una
sola manera. Si el enchufe no cabe totalmente en el tomacorriente,
gire el enchufe. Si aún así no calza, consulte a un servicio técnico
cualificado. No intente anular esta característica de seguridad.
Para los aparatos provistos con un enchufe clásico, basta con
insertar el enchufe en la toma de corriente.

INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE

El cable de alimentación del aparato es un cable corto a fin de
disminuir el riesgo de accidentes (caídas al tropezar con él, etc.)
Puede utilizar un alargador si es necesario.
