the back and then pulling the lid upwards. Then fill in the
water. Please only fill up to the maximum (MAX) mark. You
can read off the filling level on the water level indicator on
both sides of the device.
3. Close the lid until you hear it lock in place.
4. Place the kettle flush on the base.

Electrical connection
• Check whether the electrical voltage that you intend to
use is the same as that of the machine. Details are to be
found on the label on the base.
• Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V,
50 Hz safety socket.
6. Turn the device on by the
I/0
on/off switch.
7. The control lamp in the switch lights up.
8. When the water is boiling the kettle switches itself off auto-
matically unless you press the switch to interrupt or stop the
water from boiling.
WARNING: Danger of scalding!
• When pouring the water out, keep the lid closed.
• During operation the housing becomes hot. Do not touch it
and allow the device to cool down before storing it away.
Switching off
If you do not wish to use the kettle any more, please turn the
switch to
0
(off) and then remove the plug from the socket. The
control lamp goes off. Emptying the water container.
Cleaning
WARNING:
• Always pull out the plug from the mains socket before
cleaning and wait until the unit has cooled down.
• Never immerse the device or the base in water or other
liquids.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any wire brush or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
Water Container
Rinse the water container out with clean water. Then dry it off
with a cloth.
Exterior of the Housing
Clean the housing after use with a slightly damp cloth.
Permanent Filter
There is a permanent filter in the spout. In order to clean the
filter, pull it out with the lid open. Rinse out the filter with running
water. Reinsert it, taking note of the guide mechanism.
Decalcification
• The frequency of the decalcifying operation depends on the
hardness of the water and on how often the appliance is
used.
• If the machine switches off before the water boils, it probably
needs to be decalcified.
• Please do not use vinegar but a commercially available
decalcification agent on the basis of citric acid. Only use the
quantities stated in the instructions.
NOTE:
After descaling the device boil fresh water in it several times
(approximately 3-4 times) in order to remove any residues. Do
not
consume this water.
Troubleshooting
• It is not possible to switch the machine on.
Possible Cause:
After being used without or with too little water the machine
has not cooled down sufficiently.
Remedy:
Allow the machine to cool down for 15 min.
• The machine switches off before the water has boiled.
Possible Cause:
The heated base is coated with too much lime or the circuit
of the plug is overloaded.
Remedy:
Descale the machine as instructed.
Check the mains connection.
• The machine does not switch off.
Possible Cause:
The lid is not closed.
Remedy:
Close the lid.
