Boil-dry protection
This kettle is equipped with boil-dry protection.
This device will automatically switch the kettle off if
it is accidentally switched on when there is no
water or not enough water in it. The on/off switch
will stay in ‘on’ position, but the power-on light ring
will go out. Set the on/off switch to ‘off ’ and let the
kettle cool down for 10 minutes. Then lift the kettle
from its base to reset the boil-dry protection. The
kettle is now ready for use again.

2. Place the base on a dry, stable and flat surface.
3. Rinse the kettle with water.

(8% acetic acid) to the maximum level.
3. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight.
