Use
1. Make sure that the voltage selector (6) is set correctly for your power supply (120/240 V).
2. Make sure the kettle is switched off by pressing in the small round Off Switch (B).
3. Fill the kettle with cold water only. Do not overfill the kettle. The water level should be
between the min and max marks.
4. Make sure that the spout filter is in place before using the kettle.
5. Close the lid.
6. Place the electric kettle on a firm and level surface.
7. Plug the mains lead into an earthed wall socket.
8. Turn the kettle on by pressing in the On Switch (A). The indicator light should now be lit.
9. The kettle shuts off automatically when the water has finished boiling.
The power indicator light (5) will go out.
10. Pull out the plug, or use a time switch between the plug and the power point.
Do not open the lid when pouring out the water.
Care and maintenance
• Always unplug the appliance from the wall socket before cleaning.
• Never submerge the kettle in water.
• Clean by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with water and possibly a little
washing-up liquid.
• Avoid using solvents and abrasive cleaning agents. Dry carefully after cleaning.
• Clean the filter located in the spout of the kettle regularly. The filter can be lifted up
when the lid is open. Rinse the filter in warm running water and let it dry.
Slide the filter back into the grooves in the spout.
Descaling
Because of the natural occurrence of calcium in water, limescale deposits may form in
the kettle after some use.
Limescale deposits might lengthen the time needed for water to boil.
For descaling, use a mixture of water and white vinegar (acetic acid) or a special
descaling agent that can be purchased at most supermarkets.
1. Mix 1 dl of white vinegar (not regular vinegar) with 3 dl cold water or follow the
directions included with the descaling agent.
2. Pour the mixture into the kettle and turn it on. Let the mixture boil twice.
Thereafter, pour the mixture away.
3. In order to remove the last remnants of limescale and descaling agent, the kettle
should be filled to the max mark with fresh cold water. Turn the kettle on and let it boil.
