using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure your
outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage indicated on the
appliance rating label and your outlet socket is properly earthed. If this is not
the case, do not use the Tea Maker.
• Separate circuit: Do not use any other appliance at the same time on the
same electrical circuit as it may overload the circuit and blow the fuse or circuit
breaker.
• Water: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse the cord,
plug, power base or the Tea Maker itself in water or other liquid. Do not wash
the jug exterior under running water. Do not expose the electrical connections
to water.
• Power cord: Do not kink, bend, squash, strain or damage the power cord and
protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let the cord hang over the edge
of a table or benchtop. Do not let it touch hot surfaces. The cord should be run
in such a way that there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord,
plug, power base or Tea Maker housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner.
• WARNING: A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or
a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. In case of damage, contact the
after sales support line for advice.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing a residual current device to lessen the risk
of scalding or other injury from hot water, which may be ejected if the heating
element ruptures. Contact a qualified electrician for advice.
