KETTLE KH 1142

Intended use

• 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.

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.

Technical Data

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

min. 0.25 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.



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.

• Do not use an external timing switch or a sepa­rate remote control system to operate 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!

Käyttötarkoitus

• Irrota pistoke pistorasiasta aina käytön jälkeen.
Pelkästään virran katkaiseminen ei riitä, koska
laitteessa on virta niin kauan, kunnes pistoke
irrotetaan pistorasiasta.

Tämä laite on tarkoitettu veden kuumentamiseen ko­titalouksissa. Sitä ei ole tarkoitettu muiden nesteiden
kanssa käytettäväksi tai ammatilliseen käyttöön.

Tekniset tiedot

Käyttöjännite : 230 V ~/ 50 Hz
Tehontarve: 3000 W
Täyttömäärä: kork. 1,7 l

väh. 0,25 l

 Vanhemmissa kotitalousasennuksissa sulake

(12A) saattaa laueta korkean tehontarpeen takia.

Turvaohjeet



Välttääksesi sähköiskun aiheuttaman
hengenvaaran:

• Varmista, ettei elektronisia liitäntöjä sisältävä jalusta
joudu milloinkaan kosketuksiin veden kanssa!
Anna jalustan kuivua ensin täysin, jos se on
kastunut vahingossa.

• Käytä vedenkeitintä vain mukana toimitettavan
jalustan kanssa.

• Pidä huolta siitä, ettei virtajohto kastu konetta
käytettäessä. Vedä virtajohto siten, ettei se tartu,
puristu tai vaurioidu muulla tavalla.

• Anna vaurioitunut verkkopistoke tai virtajohto heti
valtuutetun ammattihenkilöstön tai huoltopalvelun
vaihdettavaksi vaarojen välttämiseksi.



Tulipalo- ja loukkaantumisvaaran
välttämiseksi:

• Pidä laitteen kansi suljettuna aina kun keität vettä
tai sen sammutusautomatiikka lakkaa toimimasta.
Kiehuvaa vettä voi muuten myös roiskua reunan
yli.

• Laitteesta voi purkautua kuumaa vesihöyryä.
Vesikannu kuumenee lisäksi huomattavasti käytön
aikana. Käytä patalappua tai -kinnasta.

• Varmista, että laite on tukevasti paikallaan pysty­suorassa asennossa ennen kuin kytket sen päälle.
Jos laite ei ole tukevasti paikallaan, kiehuva vesi
voi kaataa sen.

• Käsittele kannua varovasti. Särkynyt lasi voi
aiheuttaa vakavia viiltovammoja.

• Tätä laitetta ei ole tarkoitettu sellaisten henkilöiden
(mukaan lukien lapset) käyttöön, joiden rajoitetut,
fyysiset, aistilliset tai henkiset kyvyt tai kokemuksen
ja/tai tiedon puute estävät käytön, lukuun otta­matta tilanteita, joissa heitä valvoo turvallisuudesta
vastaava henkilö tai joissa he ovat saaneet tältä
ohjeita laitteen käytöstä.

• Lapsia on valvottava ja on varmistettava, etteivät
he leiki laitteella.

• Älä käytä laitetta ulkoisen ajastimen tai erillisen
kauko-ohjatun järjestelmän avulla.

Näin vältät laitevauriot:

• Älä missään tapauksessa täytä laitteeseen kylmää
vettä heti keittämisen jälkeen. Lasiin saattaa muo­dostua jännitettä ja lasi voi särkyä!
