[. . . ] - Do not pull on the mains cord to disconnect the plug. - Do not allow the mains cord to hang over the edge of a table or worktop. - Do not leave your hand or the mains cable in contact with the hot parts of the appliance. - Keep the appliance out of the reach of children. [. . . ] To open the lid, depending on model: - Lid with assisted opening: press on the latching system and the lid will lift automatically (fig 2). - Lid with automatic opening: press on the button at the top of the handle (fig 3). - Locking lid: turn the lid anti-clockwise to unlock and lift off (fig 4). To close, press firmly on the lid or, for the locking lid, turn clockwise. Connect the kettle only to an earthed socket. If you need to use an extension cord, this must have an earthed socket and be suitably rated. Ensure that the cord and extension do not trail to avoid any falls. · Do not open the lid while the water is boiling. 5. To turn on the kettle, press on the on/off button at the top or bottom of the handle, depending on the model (fig 7). Depending on the model, an indicator light may come on. The kettle will turn off automatically as soon as the water comes to the boil. You can stop it manually before lifting it off its base to pour. Depending on the model, the indicator light will go out when the kettle switches off or is switched off. Ensure that the kettle is switched off before lifting off its base. On first use we recommend that you discard the water as it may contain some dust. Rinse the kettle and filter separately. 2. Place the base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant clean and cool surface. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface. Do not place the kettle on or near slippery or hot surfaces or allow the cord to hang above a source of heat (cooking hob, gas cooker). Your kettle must be used only with the base belonging to it. 3. Fill the kettle with the desired quantity of water (fig 5). You can fill via the spout, which helps keep the filter clear. Always fill with sufficient water to cover the heating element (or the bottom of the kettle). Never fill the kettle while it is on its base. The kettle must always be used with its own ant-scale filter. [. . . ] If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discard the water. IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE Rowenta reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time in the interests of the consumer.
