Risk of electric shock
The device is powered by electricity,
and so there is always a risk of electric
shock. The following precautions are
therefore to be taken:
∙ Every time the appliance is used,
the main body including the power
cord as well as any attachment fitted
should be checked thoroughly for
any defects. Should the appliance,
for instance, have been dropped onto
a hard surface, or if excessive force
has been used to pull the power cord,
it must no longer be used: even
invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
∙ The appliance should only be
connected to a socket installed in
accordance with the regulations.
Make sure that the supply voltage
corresponds with the voltage marked
on the rating label.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- if the appliance is not used for an
extended period of time,
- in case of any malfunction,
- before cleaning the appliance.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
∙ Do not clean the appliance with liquids
or immerse it; do not clean under
running tap water.

Danger of burns and scalding
The appliance heats up water and keeps
it hot. The exterior surfaces, jug and hot-
plate become hot during use, and will
retain some heat even afterwards. There
is thus a danger of burns or scalding.
∙ Do not touch those components
during use: after use, allow them to
cool down first.
∙ Do not open the swing-out filter during
use.
∙ Always allow the appliance to cool
down for about 5 minutes after use
and before opening the swing-out filter
or filling with fresh water.
Lack of hygiene
Lack of hygiene may result in germs
forming inside the appliance:
∙ Clean the appliance thoroughly before
using it for the first time.
∙ Before cleaning the appliance,
ensure it is disconnected from the
power supply and has cooled down
completely.
∙ The filter insert and jug should be
cleaned on a daily basis.
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
∙ The appliance must be descaled at
regular intervals.
∙ Detailed information on cleaning the
appliance can be found in the section
Cleaning and care.
