OPERATION
1. Place the appliance on a heat- and waterproof, clean, dry, stable and even work
surface out of the reach of children, near a power outlet. Unwind the power
cord from the appliance base completely and place it in such a way that the
appliance can not be yanked down by it.
2. Take the kettle off the appliance base, push the lid release button and the lid
opens.
3. Fill the kettle with cold tap water (follow the MIN and MAX markings on the
kettle, fill in at most 1,7 litres) and close the lid by pushing it down until it snaps
in.
Caution:
The lid has to be closed at all times during cooking.
4. If necessary, dry the outside and bottom of the kettle. Place the kettle on the
dry appliance base.
5. Connect the power plug to a suitable power outlet, the power cord has to be
unrolled completely.
6. All control buttons light up briefly and then you will hear a two-time signal
tone and all buttons turn off, except for the temperature 100 °C button, which
is blinking blue, and the ON/OFF button, which lights green. The blue blinking
temperature button and the constantly green lighting ON/OFF button indicate
that the appliance is in standby mode. Press one of the temperature buttons
according to the water temperature you need. The pressed button is blinking
blue. Afterwards press the ON/OFF button, which turns red, while the temper-
ature button is now lighting steadily blue. The boiling process has started now.
7. The appliance will turn off automatically as soon as the water is boiling or the
wanted temperature is reached respectively. The end of the boiling process is
indicated by a two-time signal tone and the constant green light of the ON/
OFF button.
8. Carefully remove the kettle from the appliance base and slowly pour the hot
water into a prepared kettle, using the spout. For safety reasons, we recom-
mend always pouring boiling water through the spout without opening the lid.
Caution:
Always be careful not to burn or scald yourself with the hot steam
coming out of the spout!
9. If you do not need any more hot water, pull the power plug, pour the remain-
ing water out of the kettle and let the appliance cool down (this prevents fast
calcification).

QUICK START FUNCTION:
▲
●
If you solely press the ON/OFF button after plugging in the power plug, the appli-
ance will simply heat up the water to 100 °C and then turn off automatically. The
ON/OFF button also functions as the quick start button for 100 °C.
Notes:
▲
●
You can change the wanted temperature anytime during the boiling process or
the keeping-warm phase by pressing a different temperature button.
▲
●
You can start or stop the boiling process anytime by pressing the ON/OFF button.
To fully shut down the appliance you have to press the ON/OFF button for
2 seconds until all control lights go out.
▲
●
If you solely press the KEEP WARM button after plugging in the power plug and
then press the ON/OFF button, the water will heat up to 90 °C and then be kept
warm.
▲
●
Do not tilt the filled kettle too strongly, especially not backwards, in the direction
of the handle. Never turn the appliance upside down, not even when the lid is
closed. Water might escape even when the lid is closed!
▲
●
Always make sure that the lid is closed and locked before switching the appli-
ance on.
▲
●
The kettle bottom covering the heating element is made from high-quality
stainless steel. White residues potentially forming there are limestone deposits
that should be removed as described in the section „Descaling the kettle“ on
page 81.
Please note that:
▲
●
Standby mode
means returning to the 100 °C function if you take the kettle off
the base after or during a boiling process. In keep warm mode the kettle and base
have to be separated for at least 1 minute. The ON/OFF button constantly lights
green and the temperature 100 °C button is blinking blue during standby mode.
▲
●
Energy saving mode
implies that the appliance is connected to a power supply
but no button has been pressed for more than 30 minutes (as long as the KEEP
WARM function is not activated). As soon as the appliance enters the energy
saving mode you will hear a two-time signal tone and all control lights will go
out. The appliance will also enter energy saving mode at the end of the KEEP
WARM function (i.e. after 2 hours).
▲
●
You can return the appliance from energy saving mode to standby mode by
briefly pressing a button or lifting the kettle and putting it back down.
