- Never ll the kettle beyond the maximum level indication. If the kettle has been overlled,

boiling water may be ejected from the spout and cause scalding.

- Do not remove the lid while the water is heating up. Be careful when you remove the lid

immediately after the water has boiled: the steam that comes out of the kettle is very hot.

- This rapid-boil kettle can draw up to 13 amps from the power supply in your home. Make sure

that the electrical system in your home and the circuit to which the kettle is connected can

cope with this level of power consumption. Do not let too many other appliances draw power

from the same circuit while the kettle is being used.

- Only use the kettle in combination with its original base.

Caution

- Always place the base and the kettle on a dry, at and stable surface.

- The kettle is only intended for heating up and boiling water. Do not use it to heat up soup or

other liquids or jarred, bottled or tinned food.

- Always make sure you ll the kettle at least up to the 0.5l indication to prevent the kettle from

boiling dry.

- Depending on the hardness of the water in your area, small spots may appear on the heating

element of your kettle when you use it. This phenomenon is the result of scale build-up on the

heating element and on the inside of the kettle over time. The harder the water, the faster scale

builds up. Scale can occur in different colours. Although scale is harmless, too much scale can

inuence the performance of your kettle. Descale your kettle regularly by following the

instructions given in chapter ‘Cleaning and descaling’.

- Some condensation may appear on the base of the kettle. This is perfectly normal and does not

mean that the kettle has any defects.

- Do not let any water run into the temperature knob.

- This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

1 staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working environments;

2 farm houses;

3 by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

4 bed and breakfast type environments.

- This appliance has not been calibrated for commercial or scientic use. Temperatures may be up

to 5°C lower or higher, which is within the range of optimal brewing temperatures for each type

of tea and other hot beverages.

Boil-dry protection

This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection. The boil-dry protection automatically switches

off the kettle if it is accidentally switched on when there is no water or not enough water in it. The

on/off switch goes to ‘off’ position and the power-on light goes out. Let the kettle cool down for 10

minutes. Then lift it from its base to reset the boil-dry protection. The kettle is now ready for use

again.
