•Keep the appliance out of reach of children.

•Operate the kettle on a dry, level surface only.

•The cord length may be reduced by winding it into the cord channel on the bottom of the base.

•The base, the kettle and the cord must never be in contact with hot surfaces (e.g. stove burners).

•Caution: During and after operation, never touch the metal surfaces of the kettle as they will get hot and may cause burns and scalds. Only use the handle to carry it. Always hold the kettle in an upright position, to avoid boiling water spilling out.
