Do not use any extension cord or multi socket outlet, to avoid fire and risk of electric shock.
Always connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall
socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly.
Use the kettle only with the supplied power base. Always unwind the power cord completely,
before connecting the power base to the power wall socket.
Always place the appliance on a stable, level, dry, heat-resistant and easy accessible
surface. Do not place the appliance on an inclined surface. Ensure, that the power base will
not tilt or wobble before placing the kettle on it. Otherwise, during operation boiling water
could splash from the kettle and cause scalding and damage. Do not place any cloth or
tissue beneath or on the appliance to avoid risk of fire, electric shock and overheating.
Always keep the table or counter clean and dry and immediately wipe off spilled liquids.
1. Prepare the power base for operation.
Completely unwind the power cord of the power base, and put the cable in the gab in the
brim of the power base. Place the appliance on a stable, level, dry, heat-resistant and easy
accessible surface near a wall power outlet. Ensure, that the power base will not tilt or wobble.
2. Open the lid by pushing the lid release switch. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of
water. Always be sure your kettle is unplugged when you’re filling it or adding more water to it.
Always fill the kettle with at least one cup of water (1/4l) and at most up to the maximum
mark (1.5l) of the water level indicator on the front wall of the kettle.
• Too little water will result in the kettle boiling dry and automatically switch OFF.
• Filling above the maximum mark may result in boiling water splashing from the kettle.
Important:
Your kettle has an automatic shut-off safety feature that protects against
overheating. It will operate if the kettle is switched on without enough water in the water
container. If the automatic safety shut-off has occurred, switch the kettle off, disconnect it from
the power outlet and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes. Then, refill the kettle with a sufficient
amount of water and switch it on. The kettle will now boil and shut off as usual.
3. Close the lid. The lid will lock into position when it is pressed down slightly.
Important:
Always close the lid, before switching on the appliance. Otherwise
power consumption increases significantly.
4. Place the kettle onto the power base and insert the power plug in a 220-240V wall power
outlet. The electric contacts of the multi-directional power base will slide into a corresponding
opening in the bottom of the kettle. The power base will work out in any orientation.
5. Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch ON the kettle. The ‘ON/OFF’ button and the water
level indicator will illuminate and the heating element starts heating.
WARNING!
The exterior of the kettle will get very hot during operation and even some minutes
after switching ‘OFF’ the appliance. In addition, beware of steam venting from the lid and
spout and hot condensate, especially when opening the lid or pouring out water. Always
keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other objects away from the lid
and spout of the kettle. Always use the handle for moving the kettle and take care to keep
the kettle level to avoid boiling water pouring out unintentionally.
