Important:
The jug should only be used
with the base supplied.
■
The kettle should only ever be filled
with water.
Milk or instant products will
burn and damage the appliance. Never
operate the kettle without water or overfill:
observe the
0.3L (min)
and
1.7L
(max)
markings. If the kettle is too full, the water
will boil over!
Before using for the
first time
■
Remove any stickers or film.
■
Unwind the cord to the required length
and plug in.
■
Fill the jug with water and bring to the boil
twice to clean it thoroughly.
■
When the water comes to the boil for
the first time, add a tablespoon of white
vinegar.
Boiling water
1.
Fill the jug with fresh water through the
spout or the opened lid (press button to
open lid).
2.
Read the quantity off the water level
indicator. Do not fill with less than
0.3 litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!
3.
Close the lid, pressing down until it
clicks into place.
4.
Place the kettle on the base.
5.
Press down the switch and it will
light up.
6.
The water is heated.
7.
The kettle switches off automatically
once the water has boiled.
The appliance can also be switched off
at any time by moving up the
O
On/Off
switch.
Attention:
If you lift the jug from the base
and replace it before the water has boiled,
the kettle will not continue heating.
Notes:
■
Only operate the kettle with the lid closed
and the limescale filter inserted or the
kettle will not switch off.
■
For reasons of physics condensation may
form on the base. This is normal, and the
jug is not leaking.
■
After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling.
■
Do not turn on the appliance if the jug
is empty. Otherwise the overheating
protection will trip and the appliance will
switch off automatically.
Cleaning and maintenance
W
Risk of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or
place it in the dishwasher!
Do not steam-clean the appliance.
■
Pull out the mains plug.

down on the outside with a damp cloth.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
■
Remove the limescale filter and place in a
little vinegar with clean water.

clean water.
Descaling
Regular descaling:
■
prolongs the life of the appliance.
■
ensures that it functions properly.
■
avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled
pouring if filter is covered with limescale.
■
saves energy.
