The bird anti-spray cap makes no sound.
• To turn off the kettle before the
water boils move the ON/OFF
switch downwards to the posi-
tion or just lift the kettle off its
power base (the equipment will
turn off automatically and the
switch will revert to the posi-
tion).
Pouring out
• Before pouring out, remove the
bird anti-spray cap from the spout.
• Lift the kettle off its power base
and pour out
the water
CAREFULLY.
Do not tip
the kettle up
too much
and avoid any
abrupt move-
ments.
When lifting the kettle off its
power base a few drops of water may
be seen on the top surface of the power
base. This is due to steam condensation
which ensures the kettle turns off auto-
matically once the water reaches boiling
point. This phenomenon is quite normal
and there is no cause for alarm.
• The bottom of the kettle does not
reach an excessively high tempe-
rature during use and is thermally
insulated: after pouring you can
rest the kettle on any surface.
• Do not lift the lid until the kettle
has cooled down. We recommend
the lid be held as illustrated in
figure 9.

and re-assemble as shown in the
figure 1.
Limescale
• Limescale (calcium carbonate) is
a harmless natural mineral found
in water, which can build up to
create a thin solid layer on the
inner walls of the kettle, on the
anti-scale filter and on the surface
of the water. Descale the kettle
regularly, using a mixture of water
and vinegar, when any build up of
limescale is found. After this ope-
ration, boil the kettle a few times,
each time changing the water, in
order to remove any residue of the
mixture used which may alter the
taste of the water.
Anti-scale filter
• The kettle is equipped
with an anti-scale filter
that stops any limescale
present inside the kettle
from being poured into
drinks.
• The filter can be removed and
washed out. (fig. 2, fig. 3)

Maintenance
Cleaning the kettle
• Wait until the kettle has cooled
down completely and unplug it
before carrying out any cleaning
operations.
• Do not immerse the kettle and/or
the power base in water.
• Clean the outside of the kettle
using a soft cloth dampened with
normal household detergent and
then rub it over with a soft dry
cloth.
• Do not use polishing products or
abrasive agents which could dama-
ge the metal and/or plastic parts.
• After cleaning, make sure that the
connectors and plugs are perfectly
dry.
• To clean the lid properly, unscrew
the knob (D) and wash the items
separately with a detergent under
running water. Dry them carefully
SAFETY DEVICES
Automatic on/off
• The kettle has an ON/OFF
switch (fig. 7) that turns
the kettle off automatically
when the water has boiled.
To boil the water again it will
be necessary to wait approx.
1 minute, after which the
switch can be turned to the
position again.
Safety cut-out
• If the kettle is switched on
with not enough water in it or
with no water at all, a safety
cut-out switch will cut off the
power supply to prevent any
damage to the kettle. In this
case, unplug the kettle from
the power socket and leave it
to cool before filling it again
with cold water.

WARNING!
Scale build-up will cause the
element to overheat, reducing its
working life. It may also cause
the safety cutout to operate pre-
maturely, switching the kettle off
before the water actually boils.
