Important: Your kettle has an automatic shut-off safety feature that protects against
overheating. It will operate if the kettle is switched on without enough water in the water
container. If the automatic safety shut-off has occurred, switch the kettle off, disconnect it
from the power outlet and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes. Then, refill the kettle with a
sufficient amount of water and switch it on. The kettle will now boil and shut off as usual.
