Important
Always and only use freshly drawn mains water in
the kettle! Do not consume any water that is not
certified as potable. If you do, you are taking a risk
with your health!
• Before taking the appliance into use, ensure that ...
• the appliance, the plug and the power cable are
in good working order and...
– the power cable been completely unwound from
the holder on the bottom of the appliance, and
that...
– 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 after the water has been
boiled.
• Rinse the water boiler out with clear water.
• Fill the appliance with water once again up to the
MAX marking on the scale
e
and then bring it
to the boil. When done, pour this water away
also.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Boiling water
Danger
Never place the electrical base
t
adjacent to water
– a potentially fatal risk!
• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Remove the lid
w
in that you pull it upwards.
• Hold the kettle upright while filling it. Only in this
way can you correctly read the markings on the
scale
e
.
Fill the kettle ...
– at least to the MIN mark, so that the device does
not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling
water spills out.
• First close the lid
w
...
• and then place the kettle on the base
t
such
that it is standing absolutely upright on the base
t
.
• Now insert the plug into the mains power socket ...
• and press the ON/OFF switch
r
downwards
until it engages.
• The pilot lamp integrated into the ON/OFF
switch
r
indicates that the appliance is now
heating the water up.
• The appliance switches itself off and the pilot
lamp goes out as soon as the water is on the
boil. The ON/OFF switch
r
springs upwards.
Warning
Remove the plug from the mains power socket before
you lift the kettle from its base
t
. This prevents causing
a potential short circuit by water possibly spilling
out of the carafe and falling onto live electrical
connections in the base
t
.
Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid
w
should not be opened
while the water is boiling or is very hot.
There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.
