Hazard

During normal use, the thermal fuse fails to operate in time allowing generation of excessive heat at the plastic base. This can lead to a fire and electric shock due to live parts being exposed. There is no water level marking which could lead to the pot being overfilled. In the event that the product is operated beyond a certain time, the pot could overflow when it is lifted from the base causing burns to the user. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335. .
