Boiling water
Danger
NEVER place the electrical base
y
adjacent to
water – a potentially fatal risk!
Notice
Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume
any water that has already stood in the water boiler
for longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that
has cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!
• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Open the lid

by pressing down
on the release button
e
.
• Hold the carafe upright while filling it. Only in
this way can you correctly read the markings.
Fill the carafe...
– at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance
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 carafe on the base
y
, such
that it is standing absolutely upright on the base
y
.
• Now insert the plug into the power socket.
• Press the ON/OFF switch
t
down until it engages.
• The integrated blue control lamp in the carafe
indicates that the appliance is now heating the
water up.
• The appliance switches itself off, and the blue
control lamps goes out as soon as the water is
on the boil. The ON/OFF switch
t
springs out.
Warning
Remove the power plug from the wall socket before
you take the kettle from the base
y
. This prevents
causing a potential short circuit by water possibly
spilling out of the carafe and falling onto live electrical
connections in the base
y
.
