the appliance near the edge of the working space or on inclined surfaces. Do not
operate the appliance in a tray or tub or on a metal surface to avoid high risk of
electric shock, when overflow or splashing of hot water occurs. To avoid overhea-
ting, before operation, always fill a sufficient amount of clear drinking water into the
kettle (at least 500 ml / MIN). Do not operate the appliance with the kettle empty.
Always remove the kettle from the base and wait until the kettle cooled down, before
filling the kettle anew. For adding water with a tea program running, slowly pour
the cold water into the middle of the kettle. Do not let cold water run down the side
walls of the kettle, if the kettle is hot.
Do not fill in more than the maximum amount (1200 ml MAX). If the kettle is over-
filled, boiling water may splash out. Regularly de-scale the kettle (see: ‘Care and
Cleaning’).
Important:
For operation, always close the kettle via the lid ring and lid. With
the lid open, the temperature control will not operate correctly caused by high
energy loss.
Important:
When using the keep warm function and pouring some water/tea,
always ensure that the filling level in the kettle did not drop below the MIN filling
level (500 ml), before placing the kettle back onto the power base and re-assu-
ming keep warm operation (see: ‘Keep Warm Function’).
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
1. Completely unwind the power cord and place the power base on the designa-
ted working place near an appropriate wall power outlet (see: ‘General Safety
Instructions’ and ‘Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances’).
2. Remove the kettle from the power base and remove the lid from the kettle by
turning it counter-clockwise and pulling it upwards.
3. Fill the required amount of clear drinking water into the kettle. For operation, the
filling level must be between MIN (500ml) and MAX (1200ml).
4. Ensure to close the kettle correctly via the lid set (see: ‘Knowing Your New Glass
Tea Kettle’): Push the lid ring down on the kettle until it settles firmly. There may
be no gap between lid ring and kettle. If required, turn the lid ring, until it fits
correctly. Insert the lid in the lid ring with the white line pointing to “Open”. Turn
the lid clockwise within the lid ring to “Close” for locking the lid securely.
