Electrically heatable water kettle

摘要

The invention is directed to a water kettle (1) including at the junction between the handle (18) and the housing (2) a safety arrangement (64) comprised of a button, an actuating element (44) and a detent lever, which allows operation of the water kettle (1) only when the lid (26) closes the opening (48) of the water kettle (1). Opening of the lid (26) automatically turns off the water kettle (1). The risk of an operator being scalded is thereby essentially eliminated. Manipulation of the water kettle (1) is also facilitated by the automatic shutoff feature of the water kettle (1) when the lid (26) is opened.
