Start-up
• Before taking the appliance into use, ensure that ...
-
the appliance, the plug and the power cable are
in good working order and...
-
all packaging materials have been removed
from the appliance.
• Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX mark
and let it come to a full boil once – as described
in the next section.
• Pour this water away when the procedure has
been completed.
• Rinse the kettle out with clear water.
• Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX marking
on the scale
6
and then bring it to the boil.
Once again, pour this water away.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Notice
This kettle is fitted with a safety release latch on the
lid
1
: When you press the release button
2
, the
lid
1
opens only slightly, so that hot steam can
escape to the front and this avoids scalds of the
hand. Only when you activate the release button
2
again does the lid
1
open completely.
Boiling water
Danger
Never place the electrical base
4
in close proximity to
water – a potentially fatal risk!
Notice
Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any
water that has already stood in the water boiler for
longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has
cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!
• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Press the unlocking button
2
and open the lid
1
.
• Hold the kettle upright while filling it.
Only in this way can you correctly read the
markings on the scale
6
.
Fill the kettle...
– at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance
does not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling
water spills out.
• First close the lid
1
...
• then place the kettle on the base
4
so that it
stands straight on the base
4
.
• Now insert the plug into the power socket.
• Press the ON/OFF switch
3
down until it engages
downwards.
• The integrated control lamp
3
indicates that the
appliance is now heating up.
• The appliance switches itself off and the control
lamps
3
go out as soon as the water is on the
boil. The ON/OFF switch
3
is released upwards.
Warning
First remove the plug from the wall power socket before
you lift the kettle from the base
4
. This avoids the
risk that any water splashing out could come into
contact with live electrical connections in the base
4
,
which could cause a short circuit.
Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid
1
should not be opened
while the water is boiling or is very hot. There is a risk
of receiving severe scalds.
