SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
3 FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (FIG 6)
•
You can fill it through the spout, which ensures better maintenance of the filter. As a minimum, cover the element
(or the bottom of the kettle) with water.
• Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
• Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may spill
out.
• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed properly before use.
• The kettle must always be used with its own anti-scale filter.

7 FOR KETTLES THAT FEATURE A TEMPERATURE SWITCH
if you move quickly from position

that this is taking a long time, you can add cold water to speed up the start of heating.
8 THE KETTLE MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT, DEPENDING ON MODEL
9 THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
as soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature. You can stop it manually, before removing it
from its base to pour the water. Depending on the model, the interior light and the indicator light will go out when
the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the
kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.
Throw away the water from the first two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.
•
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

Your kettle must only be used with the base that matches it and its own anti-scale filter.
