Boil-Dry Protection

The kettle is fitted with a safety device to prevent overheating. This overheat protection device shuts off the unit if the kettle is empty or there is not enough water in it.

If the safety device is triggered, remove the plug from the mains socket. Allow the kettle to cool down to room temperature before filling it with water. Always make sure there is enough water in the kettle. Activating the safety device repeatedly may reduce the kettle's service life.
