of the kettle. The kettle may only be operated on the base (g) supplied.

•This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

•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).

•In the event the kettle is switched on when empty, the overheating protection will immediately shut the kettle off. If this happens, allow the kettle to cool down for 10 minutes before filling it with water.
