INTRODUCTION
To get the best out of your new travel kettle, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of your kettle.
SAFETY MEASURES
Normal use of the electric travel kettle
•Incorrect use of this kettle may cause personal injury and damage to the kettle.
•Use the kettle for its intended purpose only. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect use or handling (see also Guarantee Terms).
•This travel kettle can be connected to either 230 V or 120 V. Please note that the switch in the base must be set to the correct supply voltage before use. Check that the kettle is empty before turning it upside down.
•The kettle should not be switched on unless there is water in it.
•The water level in the kettle must not be below the minimum (MIN) or above the maximum (MAX) filling level marked on the water level gauge within the kettle.
•The kettle or the cord must not be placed in water or any other liquid.
•Never leave the kettle unattended when in use and keep an eye on children.
•Avoid touching the outside of the kettle when in use, as it becomes hot. Touch the handle and lid only. Be careful of the hot steam when opening the lid.
•This travel kettle is not suitable for commercial or outdoor use.
•When using this electric travel kettle abroad, an adaptor may be required (not included).
Positioning your electric travel kettle
•Always place the kettle on a firm, level surface and at a safe distance from table edges and flammable objects such as curtains, tablecloths or similar.
•Always position the kettle so that the spout is turned away from other surfaces, as the steam from the boiling water may damage them.
•Do not cover the kettle.
•Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table/counter, and keep it away from hot objects and naked flames.
Cord, plug and mains socket
•Check regularly that the cord and plug are not damaged and do not use the kettle if so, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
•If the kettle, cable or plug is damaged, the kettle must be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorised repair engineer, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. Never try to repair the appliance yourself.
•Remove the plug from the socket for cleaning.
•Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the socket. Instead, hold the plug.
•Make sure that it is not possible to pull or trip over the kettle cord or any extension cord.
