Operating instructions

• When the power cord warms up during operation or is likely to be damaged, it must be
replaced by an authorised Service Centre. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not immerse the kettle, power base or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
spill or drip any liquids on the power base, power cord or switch area of the kettle to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock. When liquids are spilled on the exterior of the appliance or
condensate has built up on the power base, immediately switch OFF the kettle, unplug the
power base and dry the appliance.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
The exterior of the Design Kettle will get very hot during operation. In addition, beware of
steam and hot condensate during operation and even some minutes after switching off the
appliance, especially when opening the lid or pouring out water.
• The kettle is still hot, even some minutes after switching off. Do not touch hot surfaces (exterior
of the water container and lid) while the appliance is in use. Always use the soft grip handle
for moving the kettle. Always use the opening button for opening the lid.
Do not place the kettle on any heat-sensitive objects, while it is hot. Never place any
heat-sensitive objects in or on the kettle.
• Close supervision is important, when moving the kettle immediately after switching off.
Take care to hold the kettle level, especially when filled to the maximum level.
• For operation place the appliance on a dry, stable, heat-resistant and water-resistant, level
surface (i.e. glass, ceramics, stone). Never place any clothes or other objects on or under
the appliance during operation to avoid overheating. Always let the kettle cool down to
room temperature before cleaning.
• Always keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other objects away
from the lid and spout during operation to avoid scalds and damage. Beware of steam and
hot condensate, when opening the lid. Always keep the lid closed, when operating the kettle.
Otherwise power consumption increases significantly and, additionally, the automatic switching
off of the heating elements will not work out. Ensure all persons stay in sufficient distance to
the appliance during operation.
First use
Unpack the appliance carefully and remove any promotional material attached to the kettle,
but do not remove the warning or model labels on the appliance. Before first use, fill the kettle
to its maximum level (1700/MAX), boil and discard the water.
CAUTION: The lid opens automatically just by pressing the opening button. Ensure that there
are no objects in the interior of the kettle.
Do not immerse the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord in water, or allow
moisture to come in contact with these parts.
1. To fill the kettle, remove it from the power base and open the lid by pressing the opening
button.
