• Do not allow individuals (including children) to
use the appliance whose physical, sensorial or
mental abilities or lack of experience and know-
ledge hinder their safe usage of it if they have
not previously been supervised or instructed in its

al dangers so that they do not play with it.
Starting Up the Device
• Before starting up the device, make certain that...
– the device, plug and power cable are in good
working order and...
– all packaging materials have been removed
from the device.
• Fill the device with water up to the MAX mark
and let it come to a full boil once as described in
the next section. Pour out this water.
Boiling Water
Danger! Never place the electrical base
near water – life-threatening danger!
You should only heat as much water as you need
directly. That helps you save electricity, water and
time:
• Lift away the kettle
u
for filling!
• Open the lid
q
by pressing down on the unlok-
king button
w
.
• Hold the kettle
u
vertically while filling. Only
then will the level indicator
i
on the side
correctly indicate the water volume.
Fill the kettle
u
...
– at least to the MIN mark so that the device does
not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark so that no boiling
water spills out.
• First close the lid
q
...
• then place the kettle
u
on the base
t
until it sits
straight on the base
t
.
• Set the desired water temperature using the
temperature control
y
.
To bring the water to a boil, you must set the
temperature controller
y
to the MAX position.
• Now insert the power plug into the power
socket and press the ON/OFF switch
e
down
until it snaps in.
• The operating light
r
indicates that the device is
now heating up.
Warning: Pull the power plug from the
socket before lifting the kettle
u
from the
base
t
. This prevents any water
splashing out from contacting the electrical
connections in the base
t
, which could
cause a short circuit.
For safety reasons, the lid
q
should not
be opened while the water is boiling or is
very hot. Otherwise there is a risk of
injury.
