Important: Use the kettle only with its
included base.
■ Only fill the kettle with water. Milk and
instant beverages will burn and damage
the appliance. Never operate the kettle
without water and do not overfill it;
observe the min and 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).
■ Check the amount by reading the water
level indicator markings ( min and max ).
■ Close the lid until it locks and place the
kettle on the base.
■ Press the
O
ON/OFF switch. The kettle
emits a signal, and the factory-set
temperature (100°C) lights up. The water
is being heated.
■ By pressing or – you can set
the temperature to ca. 70°C, ca. 80°C,
ca. 90°C or ca. 100°C.
■ When the water has reached the selected
temperature, the kettle will switch off
automatically, the temperature indicator
goes off, and a signal sounds.
Note: The selected temperature can be
changed at any time while the kettle is
heating up. While the kettle heats up, the
current temperature lights up; the preset
temperature flashes until it has been
reached.
If the temperature cannot be set, this
indicates that the water in the kettle is hotter
than the desired temperature. The current
temperature will light up.
You can turn off the kettle at any time by
pressing the
O
ON/OFF switch again.
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. The selected settings will
be lost (reset to factory setting).
N.B.: Use the kettle only while the lid is
closed and the limescale filter is in place.
For physical reasons, the base may collect
some condensation water. This is normal;
it does not mean that the kettle leaks.
When you set the temperature to 100°C,
the kettle will turn off only after the water
has reached the boiling point, i.e. it will
bubble for a short period of time.
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.
