IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
■ The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil:
- Check that your kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to
operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated. Switch it on: the kettle
should start working again after about 15 minutes.
■ The water tastes of plastic:
- Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. 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.
Rinse out the kettle.

POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
■ For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
■ As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its
supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children.
■ If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
■ In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink.
