• Do not exceed the maximum
capacity of 1.5 litres (the maxi-
mum level mark inside the kettle
(fig. 6). Filling the kettle beyond
the maximum level mark brings
the risk of boiling water over-
flowing from the spout with the
consequent danger of scalding.

Switching on
• Close the kettle and the spout
with the lid and the bird anti-
spray cap.
• Make sure the lid is closed proper -
ly.
• Plug the lead from the power base
into the power socket.
• The power base must ALWAYS be
placed on a flat and stable surface.
• Place the kettle on the power base.
The kettle will work in any posi-
tion.
• Flick the ON/OFF switch upwards
to the position to turn the ket-
tle on (fig. 7).

• The indicator lights on the bottom
of the kettle will come on.
• The kettle will turn off automati -
cally a few seconds after the water
has reached boiling point (the
ON/OFF switch will automatically
revert to the position and the
indicator lights will go out).
The bird anti-spray cap makes no sound.
• To turn off the kettle before the
water boils move the ON/OFF
switch downwards to the posi-
tion or just lift the kettle off its
power base (the equipment will
turn off automatically and the
switch will revert to the posi-
tion).
Pouring out
• Before pouring out, remove the
bird anti-spray cap from the spout.
• Lift the kettle off its power base
and pour out
the water
CAREFULLY.
Do not tip
the kettle up
too much
and avoid any
abrupt move-
ments.
When lifting the kettle off its
power base a few drops of water may
be seen on the top surface of the power
base. This is due to steam condensation
which ensures the kettle turns off auto-
matically once the water reaches boiling
point. This phenomenon is quite normal
and there is no cause for alarm.
• The bottom of the kettle does not
reach an excessively high tempe-
rature during use and is thermally
insulated: after pouring you can
rest the kettle on any surface.
• Do not lift the lid until the kettle
has cooled down. We recommend
the lid be held as illustrated in
figure 9.
