OPERATION, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before use:

Rinse the kettle and boil water in it several times using clean water in each boiling cycle and filling the

kettle to the maximum level. Water will boil in approximately 5 minutes, and the kettle will switch off

automatically.

Use:

Place the base on a solid and level surface. If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it

means descaling is required.

You can use standard descaling agents, provided that appropriate instructions are followed. Do not fill

the kettle up to the top mark to prevent spillage, if the descaling agent causes water foaming.

To thoroughly remove any deposits after descaling, boil clean water several times, then rinse the kettle

with clean water.
Pour the required amount of clean water into the kettle. When the appliance is being used (or immedi-

ately after use), do not touch any part of the kettle except the handle and make sure the lid is properly

closed. The amount of water can be checked on the level indicator on the outside of the kettle. Always

pay attention to the minimum and maximum levels, make sure the lid is properly and firmly closed.
Place the kettle on the base, so that the bottom part of the kettle fits closely to the base.

Connect the power plug to an electrical outlet.
Depending on the model move the on/off switch down (on) to start the heating process, the indicator

light lights up or use the button in the handle.
When the water boils, the on/off switch automatically returns to its original position and the indicator

light goes off. You can also switched off the kettle manually by moving the on/off switch up.
It is now safe to pour hot water into another vessel through the outlet pout.
The kettle is equipped with an automatic safety switch. To prevent damage in case of improper use or

if the appliance is switched on by accident without water or if the water evaporates - then automatic

safety switch automatically turns off the heating element.

In this case, immediately pull out the power plug from the wall outlet and refill the kettle only after suf

ficient time for it to cool down, i.e. after approximately 15-20 minutes.

Descaling:

If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it means descaling is required.

You can use standard descaling agents, provided that appropriate instructions are followed. Do not fill

the kettle up to the top mark to prevent spillage, if the descaling agent causes water foaming.
To thoroughly remove any deposits after descaling, boil clean water several times, then rinse the kettle

with clean water.

Cleaning:

Before cleaning, make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power source. Furthermore, it must

cool down completely.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning agents.
Do not immerse the base or the kettle in any liquid. Use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the

inside of the kettle.
It is recommended to regularly remove limescale deposits from the kettle.

Descaling:

Fill the kettle half-full with tap water and add lemon juice of one lemon.
Bring to the boil and wait 15 minutes. Bring to the boil again and wait further 15 minutes. Bring to the

boil for the third time, empty the kettle and rinse well.
