it; observe the
min

max
markings.
If the kettle is too full, the water will boil
over!
Before using for the
first time
■
Remove any stickers or film.
■
Unroll the right amount of cable from the
cable tidy and plug it in.
■
Fill the kettle with water. Bring the water
to a boil and discard it. Repeat the
procedure. This will make sure that the
kettle is clean for normal use.

When the water comes to a boil for the
first time, add a tablespoon of white
vinegar.
Boiling water
■
Fill the kettle with fresh water through the
spout or the open lid (press lid release
button).

Read the quantity on the water level
indicator. Do not fill with less than
0.5 litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!

Close the lid until it locks and place the
kettle on the base.

The kettle switches off automatically once
the water has boiled.
The appliance can also be switched off

Warning:
If you remove the kettle from
the base and replace it before the heating
process is over, the kettle will not continue
to heat the water.
N.B.:
Only operate the kettle with the lid
closed and the limescale filter inserted,
otherwise the kettle will not switch off.
For physical reasons, the base may collect
some condensation water. This is normal;
it does not mean that the kettle leaks.
After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling it with water.
Do not turn on the appliance if the kettle is
empty, otherwise the overheat control will
engage and the appliance will switch itself
off automatically.
