Read all instructions
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord, plugs
or kettle in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
• 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.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Ring the helpline number for advice
on examination and repair.
NOTE: IF THE MAINS LEAD IS DAMAGED
ON CORDLESS MODELS, ONLY THE
BASE SHOULD BE RETURNED TO THE
MANUFACTURER FOR REPAIR.
• The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table
counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Disconnect the kettle from the mains supply
when filling or pouring.
• Boil only as much water as you need as this
saves electricity.
• Always close the lid securely before
switching on - otherwise the kettle will not
switch off automatically and it may spit out
boiling water. For kettles with locking lids
ensure lid is locked correctly
• WARNING: ON METAL KETTLES
ENSURE THE LID KNOB IS
LOCATED AT THE SIDE OF THE
KETTLE, NOT THE FRONT OR
REAR, SO THAT STEAM IS DIRECTED
AWAY FROM THE HANDLE.
• WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE
LID WHILE THE WATER IS
BOILING.
• Always take care to pour boiling water
slowly and carefully without tipping the
kettle too fast.
• Always put in enough water to cover the
element; on models with a water level
gauge, this is indicated by the MIN mark.
• Ensure that the kettle is used on a firm, flat
surface.
• Avoid contact with steam from the spout
when the water is boiling or just after it has
switched off. Take care if opening the lid for
re-filling when the kettle is hot.
• Do not fill above the MAX mark on the
water level gauge or inside of the kettle body.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE
KETTLE OR BASE UNIT IN WATER.
WARNING: IF THIS KETTLE IS
OVERFILLED BOILING WATER
MAY BE EJECTED.
WARNING: DO NOT TIP KETTLE
BACKWARDS AS BOILING WATER
MAY BE EJECTED.
• Do not hold the switch in the ON position
or tamper with the switch to fix it in the
ON position as this may cause steam to be
ejected from around the lid and could
damage the automatic switch-off
mechanism.
• Do not attempt to connect any other
appliance to the cordless base unit, or
tamper with the connector in any way
(special interlocked shutters are designed to
prevent access to the live pins until the
kettle is attached to the base unit).
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside
of the kettle - these may scratch the surface.
• Do not use the kettle for any use other
than to boil water.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving
an appliance containing hot water.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then
plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn any control to off, then remove plug
from wall socket.
Warning: Do not place the base unit
onto a metal tray or metal surface
whilst in use.
