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.
