PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Before using for the first time (or after a long
period of storage), fill and boil the appliance
three times.
1. Read the safety instructions through
carefully.
2. Fill with water to the MAX mark on the
inside.
3. Switch on as described under "Using the
Appliance". Allow the water to boil.
4. Pour the water out once it has boiled.
Repeat steps 2-4 twice more. The appliance is
now ready for use.
USING THE APPLIANCE
1. Open the lid (3) by pressing the release
button (4).
2. Pour fresh water into the kettle. The
appliance must be filled up to the minimum
mark ("MIN") and contain no more than up
to the maximum mark ("MAX"). The marks
are on the inside of the appliance.
3. Close the lid and ensure it clicks into place.
4. Place the kettle on its base (10) by
positioning it so the stud on the base (2) fits
into the hole on the underside of the kettle.
5. Plug the base in (9) and check that it is
switched on at the wall.
o Caution! If you set the on/off switch
(6) to the "I" position before replacing the
kettle on the base, the kettle switches on
automatically when replaced on the base.
For safety’s sake, check the on/off switch
position before replacing the kettle on the
base to avoid accidentally starting the
kettle.
6. Switch on the appliance by switching the
on/off button to "I". The indicator lamp (5)
will be on when the appliance is on and
heating the water.
The water will boil within a few minutes,
depending on the amount in the kettle. If you
want to interrupt the boiling, you can do this
at any time by switching the on/off button to
"O". Once the water is boiling, the kettle will
automatically switch off thanks to the integrated
thermostat. The indicator lamp will go out when
the appliance is switched off and the on/off
button will revert to "O".
Anti boil-dry device
If you switch the kettle on without there being
any water in it or when the water level is below
"MIN", the anti boil-dry device will automatically
switch it off. The kettle can be switched on
normally as soon as it is filled with a sufficient
amount of water.
Storage
If the kettle is to be stored for any length of time
without use, the cord can be rolled up around
the inside of the base. Ensure the appliance is
clean and dry before storing.
CLEANING
When cleaning the appliance, you should pay
attention to the following points:
• Remove the plug from the wall socket and
allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe using a well-wrung cloth and hot
water. A little detergent can be added if the
appliance is heavily soiled.
• Never use scouring powder, steel scourers
or other strong cleaning agents to clean the
interior or exterior surfaces of the appliance,
as they may scratch the surfaces.
• Make sure that no water gets into the
connector on the base or the hole in the
underside of the kettle.
Descaling
The lime content of ordinary tap water means
limescale may gradually be deposited inside.
This limescale may be loosened using acetic
acid (NOT ordinary vinegar) or descaler,
available in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 100 ml acetic acid with 300 ml cold
water, or follow the instructions on the
descaler packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the kettle and switch it
on.
3. Allow the solution to boil twice and then
pour it out.
4. To remove the final residues of limescale and
acetic acid, pour cold water into the kettle
again (up to the "MAX" mark) and switch it
on.
5. Pour the water out once it has boiled.
6. Repeat the process described under points
4-5 three times.
The appliance now ready for use.
