the kettle from its base - it will switch o and the switch
will return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Removethekettlefromthepowerbaseandcarefullypour
the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or excessively.
• Whenremovingthekettlefromthebase,youmaynote
moisture on the top surface of the base. Steam escapes
through a small hole in the bottom of the kettle.
Condensation on the base is therefore perfectly
normal and not a cause for concern.
