Important:
Use the kettle only with its
included base.
■
Only fill the kettle with water.
Milk
and instant beverages will burn and
damage the appliance. Never operate
the kettle without water and do not overfill
it; observe the
min
and
max
markings.
If the kettle is too full, the water will boil
over!
Before using for the first
time
■
Remove any stickers or film.
■
Unroll the right amount of cable from the
cable tidy and plug it in.
■
Fill the kettle with water. Bring the water
to a boil and discard it. Repeat the
procedure. This will make sure that the
kettle is clean for normal use.
■
When the water comes to a boil for the
first time, add a tablespoon of white
vinegar.
Boiling water
■
Fill the kettle with fresh water through the
spout or the open lid (press lid release
button).
■
Read the quantity on the water level
indicator. Do not fill with less than
0.25 litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!
■
Close the lid until it locks and place the
kettle on the base.
■
Press down the ON/OFF
O
switch; the
switch lights up. The water is heated.
■
The kettle switches off automatically once
the water has boiled.
The appliance can also be switched off
at any time by pulling up the ON/OFF
O
switch.
Warning:
If you remove the kettle from
the base and replace it before the heating
process is over, the kettle will not continue
to heat the water.
N.B.:
■
Only operate the kettle with the lid closed
and the limescale filter inserted, otherwise
the kettle will not switch off.
■
For physical reasons, the base may
collect some condensation water. This is
normal; it does not mean that the kettle
leaks.
■
After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling it with water.
Warning:
If the kettle is empty when
switching the appliance on, the overheat
control will switch it off automatically.
