IMPORTANT SAFETY INTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following :
Read all instructions before use
1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. High temperatures are generated during use which could cause burns. Always lift the kettle by handle.
3. To prevent fire, electric shock and injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, base or kettle in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Please keep the kettle and its supply cord out of the reach of children. Warm other users, especially children, of the possible dangers (eg. escaping steam, hot water, hot lid, etc.)
5. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance which has been damaged in any way or has a defective cord or plug. Return it to the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Position the kettle to the rear of work surfaces to prevent overhanging of the power cord. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a scald hazard.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. For all models : to disconnect, switch-off the appliance and then
remove plug from wall outlet. Never yank cord to disconnet from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnet. For corded models : always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet.
12. Do not place the base of your kettle in a metal tray. If water
spills over into the tray and a build-up occurs, it could become dangerous to touch.
13. Before pouring, wait until the kettle has stopped boiling and
then pour steadily. If the kettle is tipped too much, the lid may fall off or open.
14. Never lift the lid of the kettle while water is boiling.
15. WARNING : a cordless kettle must never be filled on its base.
16. Your Krups appliance is intended for household use only.
17. This is a 1750 watt appliance. To avoid a circuit, do not operate
a high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
a. We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
device.
b. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary the marked
electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. If appliance is the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grouding type 3-wire cord.
c. This appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
