Important safeguards

·  Before plugging into a socket, make sure that your voltage corresponds 

to the voltage printed on the bottom of the kettle. The kettle may only 

be operated on the base supplied.

·  This appliance is intended for household use only.

·  Only use the kettle to heat water. Other liquids might damage the 

appliance.

·  Only operate the kettle on a dry, flat and fixed surface.

·  Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table etc.

·  Keep the appliance out of reach of children. 

·  Do not immerse the appliance in any liquid and do not put it in the 

dishwasher. 

· 

Caution:

 during and after operation, never touch the metal surfaces of 

the kettle as they will get hot and may cause burns and scalds. Only use 

the handle to carry it. Always hold the kettle in an upright position to 

avoid boiling water coming out. 

·  Do not place the appliance on or near hot surfaces such as cooking  

plates, gas flames or a heated oven.

·  Do not switch your kettle on if it is empty. In case the empty kettle 

is switched on accidentally, the overheating protection will cut it off 

automatically. In this case, allow the kettle to cool down for 10 minutes 

before filling it with water again.

· 

Caution:

 do not fill the kettle to more than the maximum level (1.2 l).  

Water could boil over causing scalds.

·  Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

·  Check the cord regularly for possible damage. If the appliance shows  

any defects, stop using it and take it to an authorized specialist for  

repair. Faulty or unqualified repair work may cause accidents or injury  

to the user.

· 

Warning:

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including 

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack  

of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision  

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible  

for their safety.

·  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with  

the appliance.

This kettle consists of four  

separate parts: Kettle (Fig. 1A), wall mount (Fig. 1B), power base with  

cord (Fig. 1C) and a mounting plate with screws and plugs (Fig. 1D). 

Before first use 

Fill the kettle with clean water to the maximum level and boil. Discard the 

water and repeat. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water the first time. 

Instructions for use

·  Fill the kettle with water to the desired level - max. 1.2 l.  

The lid is opened by pressing the "OPEN" button on top (Fig. 2).  

Press down the lid to close. The lid must always be closed and the  

filter inserted during boiling.

·  Place the kettle on the base. Connect the plug to the power socket and 

press down the ON/OFF button with the diode (Fig. ). The diode will  

now illuminate. The water will boil within a few minutes depending on 

the amount of water.

·  When the water is boiling, the kettle automatically turns off. 

Condensation might appear on the exterior. This is normal, the kettle  

is not leaky. After 0 seconds the kettle can be activated again.  

Do not try to switch it on before, as this might damage the kettle. 

·  Now lift the kettle of the base and carefully pour from the kettle. 

Cleaning

After use turn off the main power and unplug. Let the kettle cool down. 

Use a moist cloth to wipe off the kettle. Do not use strong detergents or 

abrasives, as these might scratch and damage the exterior of the kettle. 

Never clean the appliance under running water nor immerse it in water.  

Remove the limescale filter (Fig. 4) and soak it in vinegar. Rinse the kettle 

and the limescale filter with clean water. 

Descaling

For descaling use a mixture of vinegar and water or a descaling remedy, 

which can be bought in all supermarkets etc. (follow the instructions on  

the descaling remedy). 

·  Mix 0.1 litre vinegar with 0.4 litre cold water. 

·  Fill the mixture in the kettle and switch on. Let the mixture boil twice.  

To remove the last remains of limescale or vinegar, fill the kettle with 

clean water to maximum and switch on. When the water has boiled, pour 

away and repeat the process three times. Then the kettle is ready for use.

Caution:

 Do not remove limescale deposits with hard objects.

Regular descaling prolongs the service life of the kettle, ensures perfect 

operation, reduces the boiling time and saves energy. 

Wall mounting

·  Mount the mounting plate on the wall by means of the enclosed screws 

and plugs (Fig. 5).

·  Fix the power base to the wall mount and "click" it on. (Fig. 6).  

The cord must turn backwards against the wall, where it fits down  

the hole.

·  Place the wall mount across the mounting plate and push it downwards 

until a "click" is heard (Fig. 7). 

Note:

 The wall mount is only intended  

for this kettle incl. water. Additional weight is not allowed.

Dismounting:

·  Release the power base from the wall mount by pushing the two "hooks"  

(Fig. 8A) outwards and then press the power base up through the hole 

with two fingers.

·  Remove the wall mount from the mounting plate by pressing the button 

underneath the wall mount (Fig. 8B) and then push the wall mount 

upwards until it can be lifted free of the mounting plate.
