years of pleasure.

keep them for future reference.
Important
•
Before plugging into a socket, make sure that your
voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the
bottom of the kettle. The kettle may only be operated
on the base (g) supplied.
• This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Only use the kettle to heat water.
• Only operate the kettle on a dry, flat and fixed surface.

• Caution: During and after operation, never touch the
metal surfaces of the kettle as they will get hot and
may cause burns and scalds. Only use the handle to
carry it. Always hold the kettle in an upright position,
to avoid boiling water come out.
• The base, the kettle or the cord must never get in
contact with hot surfaces (e. g. stove plates).
• In case the empty kettle is switched on accidentally,
the overheating protection will cut it off automatically.
In this case, allow the kettle 10 minutes to cool down
before filling it with water.
• Caution: Do not overfill the kettle! Water could boil
over causing scalds.
• Do not open the lid while water is boiling.
• Check the cord regularly for possible damage.
• If the appliance shows any defect, stop using it and
take it to a Braun Service Centre for repair. Faulty or
