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.
