OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the kettle from the base
(5)
, open the lid
(1)
, and fill the appliance
with cold water within the
permitted maximum
only (MAX marking on the
cover of steam pipe inside the kettle). If the water level in the kettle is under
the recommended minimum (0,3 l), the kettle will keep overheating and
turning off prematurely.
Note
: Make sure that the lid
(1)
is closed properly, otherwise the kettle can not turn off automatically
2. Place the kettle on the base
(5)
; electric contacts will get connected automatically. Thanks to the central
connector design, the kettle can
turn around 360°
and be put on the base from any side.
3. Connect the base to the mains.
4. Turn the kettle on by pressing the switch
(4)
.
A control light on the switch
(2)
signals the kettle is in operation. The kettle lid
(1)
must be properly closed
when water is being heated.
WARNING
!
Do not open the lid during heating or immediately after heating is completed. Hot steam could scald you!
5. After the boiling point has been reached, the kettle will turn off automatically, and the operating light
will go out. Water heating can be terminated prematurely by moving the switch
(4)
to the off position.
6. Remove the kettle from the base
(5)
and use the hot water.
7. If you want to reheat the water you have just finished boiling, wait for ap-
proximately 30 seconds before reactivating the switch
(4)
.
Note
: It is not a sign of a defect when a small amount of water droplets appear
on the kettle base
(5)
. It is a small amount of condensed steam, which deacti-
vates the kettle thermostat.
