The Solution
Always unwind the power cord completely before opera-

Immediately unplug the appliance. Check the power
connection at the bottom of the kettle and the power
socket of the base for discolouration, distortion or cor-

not smooth and clean. There is no use in trying to clean
or repair the pins of the power connector as the power
socket in the base will be affected as well.
Contact an authorised service centre for replacement.
Do not attempt to clean the power

to room temperature, before cleaning the appliance.
2. Open the lid of the kettle and rinse the interior of the kettle thoroughly with tap water.
If required, de-scale the kettle (see below).
CAUTION: Always keep the power socket in the middle of the base and the power
connector in the bottom of the kettle completely dry. Avoid spilling or dripping any liquid
onto the base.
