Safety Measures and Operation Recommendations
Read the operation instructions carefully before using the electric kettle and keep them for future reference.
- Use the electric kettle only for its intended purpose as stated in this manual.
- Mishandling the kettle can lead to breakage, harm to the user, or damage to property, and is not covered by warranty.
- The kettle is intended for heating and boiling drinking water only; do not heat or boil other liquids.
- Ensure the operating voltage indicated on the label matches your home mains voltage.
- The power plug has a grounding contact; plug it into a socket with reliable grounding. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in case of a short circuit.
- Contact an electrical technician if you are unsure about your socket installation and grounding.
- To prevent fire, do not use adapters designed for connecting plugs to mains sockets without grounding contacts.
- If sparking occurs in the mains socket or a burning smell is detected, unplug the unit and contact your home maintenance organization.
- If smoke appears from the kettle body, unplug the unit and take measures to prevent fire spread.
- Do not use the electric kettle outdoors.
- Using the unit during lightning storms is not recommended.
- Do not place foreign objects on the kettle flask.
- Protect the unit from impacts, falls, vibrations, and other mechanical stress.
- Never leave the plugged-in electric kettle unattended.
- Do not use the electric kettle near a kitchen sink, in bathrooms, near swimming pools, or other containers filled with water.
- Do not use the electric kettle near heating appliances, heat sources, or open flames.
