Using your Kettle Colour Vision
Carefully unpack the appliance 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 (1.5 l) with pure drinking water, boil according the following
instructions and, thereafter, discard the water.
Important: Do not place any foreign objects in the water container. Do not drip or spill
any liquids on the exterior of the kettle or on the power base.
Ensure the kettle is filled with the appropriate amount of suitable liquid before switching on
the appliance.
WARNING: Do not immerse the kettle base, power base, or power cord in water any
other liquid, or allow moisture to come in contact with these parts. Do not use any exten-
sion cord or multi socket outlet, to avoid fire and risk of electric shock. Always connect the
appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective
conductor (earth/ground) connected properly.
Use the kettle only with the supplied power base. Always unwind the power cord com-
pletely, before connecting the power base to the power wall socket.
