Before use for the first time
Before first use, remove possible manufacturing process
residues by boiling 3 full kettles of water. Dispose this
water.
Tip: You can use vinegar or special descaling agents for
the first time.
Use
1. Turn the jug so that the spout faces away from you.
2. Pull up the lid handle (3).
3. Fill the jug with the required quantity of water (at
least 0,5 litres, and a maximum of 1,7 litres). Never fill the
water boiler over the “max”. Otherwise the hot water can
spatter out of the base.
ATTENTION
Make sure that you do not spill any water on the base.
4. Pull up the lid handle to open the lid.
5. Place the jug on the base, and insert the plug in the
wall socket. Push down the on/off switch. The on/off
pilot light will illuminate.
6. The jug kettle is now switched on, and the water
will now begin to heat. The jug kettle switches off
automatically a few seconds after the water has come to
the boil. The on/off pilot light will now extinguish.
7. Remove the jug from the base by the handle, and pour
the water out.
ATTENTION
Be carefully you do not contact the hot water. It can
cause serious burning wounds
8. When you wish to heat the water without it coming
to the boil you can switch off the jug kettle at any time
you require.
9. Remove the plug from the wall socket when you have
finished using the jug kettle.
Overheating safeguard
The jug kettle is fitted with an overheating safeguard.
This will switch off the jug kettle if it is operated without
(sufficient) water. Allow the jug kettle to cool down for at
least 10 minutes before using it again.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the
appliance to cool.
• Clean the jug with a damp cloth. Never immerse
the appliance in water. Never put the appliance in a
dishwasher. Make sure that the electrical connections do
not become damp.
• If the interior of the jug has become severely
discoloured, then the best way to clean it is with a damp
cloth and a little washing soda. After cleaning, rinse the
jug very thoroughly.
ATTENTION
• Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or
sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean
the appliance.
• Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance is not
connected to the power supply and that it has cooled
down.
Descaling
This appliance is equipped with an integral heating
element, and consequently limescale will not be formed.
Consequently you do not need to descaled the appliance.
However, if you nevertheless do wish to descale the
appliance:
1. Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the
appliance to cool.
2. The jug kettle is fitted with a descaling filter. This filter
must be removed for cleaning.
3. Fill the jug with a vinegar solution to the MAX level, and
bring to the boil.
4. Leave the jug with the vinegar solution to stand for a
couple of hours.
5. Empty the jug, fill with clean water to the MAX level,
and bring to the boil. Empty the jug. Repeat this process
twice.
• Never use ammonia or other products to descale the
appliance. These can be injurious to your health. Use
solely a vinegar solution, or special descaling agents
available from retailers.
