• If the appliance, cord or plug have been
damaged, have the appliance inspected and if
necessary repaired by an authorised repairer.
Never try to repair the appliance yourself.
Please contact the store where you bought
the appliance for repairs under the guarantee.
Unauthorised repairs or modifications to the
appliance will invalidate the guarantee.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Before using for the first time (or after a long
period of storage), fill the appliance with water,
boil and empty. Repeat three times.
1. Fill with water to the maximum mark (“MAX”)
on the water level gauge.
2. Switch on as described under “Using the
Appliance”. Allow the water to boil.
3. Pour out the water once it has boiled.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 twice. The appliance is now
ready for use.
USING THE APPLIANCE
1. Pour fresh water into the appliance. Fill the
appliance with water to at least the minimum
mark (“MIN”) and no higher than the
maximum mark (“MAX”).
2. Close the lid securely.
3. Place the kettle on its base, and make sure it
is correctly positioned on the socket.
4. Connect the appliance.
o Caution! If you pressed the On/Off switch
before putting the kettle on its base, the
appliance will switch on automatically
when you connect it. For safety’s sake,
check the On/Off switch position before
replacing the kettle on the base to avoid
accidentally starting the kettle.
5. Switch apparatus on.
o The water will boil within a few minutes,
depending on the amount of water in the
kettle. If you want to interrupt the boiling,
you can shut off the appliance at any time
using the On/Off button.
o Once the water is boiling, the appliance
will automatically switch off thanks to the
integrated thermostat.
Anti boil-dry device
If you switch the appliance on without having
filled it with water, or when the water level is
below the “MIN” mark, the anti boil-dry device
will automatically switch it off. The appliance can
be switched on normally as soon as it is filled
with a sufficient amount of water.
CLEANING
When cleaning the appliance, you should pay
attention to the following:
• Remove the plug from the mains socket, and
allow the appliance to cool down completely
before cleaning it.
• Never submerge the appliance base, cord
or plug in water, and no water must be
allowed to enter the appliance base.
• Clean the appliance and base by wiping with
a damp cloth. A little detergent can be added
if the appliance is heavily soiled.
• Do not use scouring pads, steel wool or any
form of strong solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents to clean the appliance, as they
can damage the external surfaces of the
appliance.
• IMPORTANT! Allow the appliance to dry
fully after cleaning before using again. The
appliance must not be used if the base or the
underside of the appliance is wet.
• Make sure the appliance is clean and dry before
stowing it away for longer periods of time.
DESCALING
The lime content of ordinary tap water means
lime scale may gradually be deposited inside the
appliance. This lime scale may be loosened using
acetic acid (NOT ordinary vinegar) or descaler,
available in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 100 ml acetic acid with 300 ml cold
water, or follow the instructions on the
descaler packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the appliance and
switch on using the On/Off button.
3. Boil until the appliance switches off
automatically.
