Operating Instructions 

Before using your new kettle for the 
first time, you should clean the outside 
with a damp cloth for reasons of 
hygiene. We recommend you to pour 
away the water from the first boiling. 

• Open the lid and fill the appliance with 

water (Figure 2). 

•

Caution

: Never fill with less than the 

minimum quantity of water of 0.25 l, 
or with more than the maximum quan-
tity of water of 1.5 l (Figure 3). If the 
kettle is overfilled there is a risk that 
boiling water will splash out of the 
kettle. 

• To switch on the appliance, press the 

ON/OFF switch lever (Figure 4) down-
wards. The power indicator lights up 
and indicates to you that the appliance 
is switched on. 

•

Important

: Before you switch on the 

appliance, make sure that the lid is fit-
ted properly as the automatic switch 
off device only works correctly if the 
lid is shut properly (Figure 5). 

• For technical reasons condensation 

may form under the handle. This con-
densation will not affect the function 
of the appliance. 

Beeper (only SWK 780) 

Depending on the model, the appliance 
is equipped with a beeper that works 
as follows: 

• When the water is boiling the kettle 

starts to beep, it switches off automat-
ically and the power indicator goes 
out. 

• The beeper also sounds if the kettle has 

been put on to boil and is interrupted, 
either by removing the appliance from 
the base, or by switching it off using 
the ON/OFF switch. 

Filter (only SWK 780) 

Depending on the model, the appliance 
is equipped with a filter (Figure 1/L). 
The filter can be removed. 
The filter retains particles of scale that 
may be present in the kettle. If your 
kettle is heavily scaled, you must des-
cale it. Please carry out descaling as 
described in the "Descaling" section. 

Safety Functions 

Safety has the highest priority during 
the design of Electrolux appliances. 
Your kettle has the following safety 
functions

:

•

Automatic Switch Off Device

. The 

appliance switches itself off automati-
cally and the power indicator goes out 
when the water is boiling. 

•

Protection Against Boiling Dry

. Pro-

tects the appliance against overheating 
if switched on without water. Heating 
is stopped automatically. Leave the 
appliance to cool for approx. 5-
10 minutes prior to using again. 

•

Protection Against Overheating

. 

Should you kettle overheat, it switches 
off automatically. Leave to cool for 
approx. 5-10 minutes prior to using 
again. 

• You Express Kettle has a fully thermally 

insulated housing (Figure 1/C). This 
– prevents the hot water in the appli-

ance cooling down too quickly, 

– and protects you from burns when 

the housing is touched 

CAUTION

: The lid and the upper part of 

the appliance will become hot and 
should not be touched.
