Use
Before initial use
Boil clean cold water in the kettle two times in order to rinse it out.
Boiling water
1. Place the base on a stable and level surface.
2. Fill the kettle with cold water only. Do not overfill. The water level should be
between the min and max marks on the water level gauge.
3. Close the lid.
4. Place the kettle on its base.
5. Connect the plug to an earthed power point (220–240 V AC) which is protected
by at least a 10 A fuse.
6. Turn the kettle on. The indicator lamp lights when the water is being heated.
7. The kettle shuts off automatically when the water has finished boiling.
8. Pull out the plug, or use a time switch between the plug and the power point.
9. Do not open the lid whilst pouring. Let it remain closed to avoid scalding.
Care and maintenance
• Unplug the lead from power point and let the kettle cool down
properly before cleaning.
• Never submerge the kettle in water.
• Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with water and possibly a little washing-up liquid.
• Avoid using solvents and abrasive cleaning agents. Dry carefully after cleaning.
• Clean the filter located in the spout of the kettle regularly. The filter is removed from
the inside and should be rinsed under running water and then left to dry.
Descaling
Because of the natural occurrence of lime in water, lime scale may form in the kettle
after some use. For descaling, use a mixture of water and white vinegar (acetic acid) or
a special descaling agent that can be purchased at most supermarkets.
1. Mix 1 dl of white vinegar (not regular vinegar) with 3 dl cold water or follow the
directions included with the descaling agent.
2. Pour the mixture in the kettle and turn it on. Boil up the mixture 2 times, and
then pour it out.
3. In order to remove the last remnants of limescale and descaling agent, the kettle
should be filled to the max mark with fresh water. Turn the kettle on and let it boil.
4. Pour out the water and repeat this process 3 times. The kettle is now ready to
use again.
The kettle should be descaled after every 2–3 months of daily use. Do not descale too
often since this can damage the heating coil.
