Important:
The jug should only be used
with the base supplied.
■
The kettle should only ever be filled
with water.
Milk or instant products
will burn and damage the appliance.
Never operate the kettle without water
or overfill: observe the
0.3L
and
1.7L
(max)
markings. If the kettle is too full,
the water will boil over!
Before using for the
first time
■ Remove any stickers or film.
■ Unwind the cord to the required length
and plug in.
■ Fill the jug with water and bring to the
boil twice to clean it thoroughly.
■ When the water comes to the boil for
the first time, add a tablespoon of white
vinegar.
Boiling water
■ Fill the jug with fresh water through the
spout or the opened lid (press button to
open lid).
■ Read the quantity off the water level
indicator. Do not fill with less than
0.3 litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!
■ Press down on the lid to close and place
the jug on the base.
■ Press down the switch and it will light
up. The water is heated.
■ The kettle switches off automatically
once the water has boiled.
The appliance can also be switched off at
any time by moving up the
O
On/Off switch.
Attention:
If you lift the jug from the base
and replace it before the water has boiled,
the kettle will not continue heating.
Notes:
■ Only operate the kettle with the lid
closed and the limescale filter inserted
or the kettle will not switch off.
■ For reasons of physics condensation
may form on the base. This is normal,
and the jug is not leaking.
■ After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling.
■ Do not turn on the appliance if the jug
is empty. Otherwise the overheating
protection will trip and the appliance will
switch off automatically.
Cleaning and maintenance
W
Risk of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or
place it in the dishwasher!
Do not steam-clean the appliance.
■ Pull out the mains plug.
■ The jug and base should only be wiped
down on the outside with a damp
cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive
detergents.
■ Remove the limescale filter and place in
a little vinegar with clean water.
■ Rinse the jug and limescale filter with
clean water.
Descaling
Regular descaling:
■ prolongs the life of the appliance.
■ ensures that it functions properly.
■ avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled
pouring if filter is covered with limescale.
■ saves energy.
Descale the jug with vinegar or a
commercially available descaling agent.
■ Fill the jug up to the
1.7L (max)
mark
with water without vinegar or descaling
agent and bring to the boil.
