ELECTRIC KETTLE
KH 1023
Intended Use
• Always remove the plug from the mains power
socket after use. Switching the appliance off is
not sufficient, because the appliance is under
power for as long as the plug is connected to
the mains power socket.
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 applications.
Technical Data
Voltage : 230 V ~/ 50 Hz
Power consumption: 2200 W
In older electrical installations, the building fuse
(12A) may be activated due to the high power
consumption.
Safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal injury
through electric shock:
• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections
does not come into contact with water! Ensure
that the base is completely dry before use, especially if it has been accidentally moistened.
• Use the water boiler only with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
or damp during operation. Lay the cable such
that it cannot get clamped or otherwise damaged.
• Arrange for defective plugs and/or cables to be
replaced at once by qualified technicians or our
Customer Service Department.
To avoid burns and other injuries:
• Always heat water with the lid on, otherwise the
automatic switch-off does not function correctly.
Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
• Hot steam clouds may be released. Additionally,
the kettle becomes very hot during use.
• Ensure that the appliance is standing securely
and vertically before switching it on.
Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall
over.
• 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.
• Never place the kettle on hotplates or similar to
heat water up. Use the kettle only with the supplied
base!
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.
