Using the kettle
Before you use the kettle, satisfy
yourself that...
– the kettle, plug and power cable are
in good working order...
– and all packaging material has been
removed from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with water to the MAX
mark and let it come to a boil once as
described in the next number. Then
pour off this water.
Boiling water
Danger: Never place the electrical
base near water – life-threatening
danger!
Only boil as much water as you need.
This saves electricity, water and time.
• Remove the can to fill it.
• Open the lid by pressing the release
button.
• Hold the can vertically when filling it
to ensure that the level display on the
side properly indicates the water level.
Fill the can...
– at least to the level of 0.5 L to ensure
that the kettle does not overheat,
– no more than to the MAX mark to
ensure that boiling water does not
spill over.
• Close the lid...
• and place the can on the base until it
is set on its base completely straight.
• Now put the plug into the socket...
• and press the ON/OFF switch down-
ward until it locks into place.
• A lamp in the level display indicates
that the kettle is now heating up.
• The kettle switches it self off when
the water is boiling properly. The
ON/OFF switch pops out again and
the lamp goes out.
• In order to
interrupt heating
, push
the
ON/OFF switch up
again (the
lamp also goes out in this case).
Warning: Please pull the plug out
of the socket before you lift the can
from the base.
This prevents water
from spilling onto the electrical con-
nections in the base and causing a
short-circuit.
For safety reasons and to avoid injuries
do not open the lid when the water is
boiling or very hot.
Cleaning and Care
Danger:
Never open any of the
device parts. No operating elements
are located inside the device. An open
housing can create the risk of a life-
threatening electrical shock. Never sub-
merse any parts of the device in water
or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if
residual liquid comes into contact with
powered components.
Before cleaning the kettle, ....
• pull the plug out of the socket and
let the kettle cool off.
• Clean all exterior surfaces and the
power cable with a slightly moist
rinsing cloth. Dry the kettle off
every time before using it again.
