Before Using the Kettle, HOW to USE the Water Kettle

SAFETY CUT-OFF

The kettle is protected against damage resulting from use with an insufficient volume of water. A safety cut-off will automatically disconnect the power supply if the heating element overheats.

Should the kettle ever boil dry during operation, you must leave it to cool for 10 minutes before re-filling it with cold water. The safety cut-off will reset automatically once it has cooled.

BEFORE USING THE KETTLE

Clean the kettle before using it for the first time by filling it completely (to the MAX mark) with water, boiling the water, and then discarding the water.

HOW TO USE THE WATER KETTLE

FILLING THE WATER KETTLE

–Remove the appliance body from the base unit (7).

–Open the lid (1), fill with water and close the lid again.

Do not fill the kettle with less than 0.15l/4 oz and not more than 0.5l/17 oz (above the MAX mark), to prevent the kettle from boiling dry or boiling water escaping from the spout.

CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY

–After filling the kettle, position it on the base unit (7). Ensure that the kettle body is seated correctly on the contact unit on the base unit (7).

OPERATION

Insert the mains plug into an electrical outlet and press the ON button (5). The indicator light (6) will come on.

As soon as the water reaches boiling point, the kettle will switch off automatically and the indicator light will extin- guish. To repeat the boiling process, press the ON button (5).

Note: if the kettle has switched itself off upon reaching boil- ing point, there may be a delay of up to 15 minutes before it can be switched back on again.

–Only remove the kettle from the station once it has auto- matically switched off after boiling. If this is not the case top the kettle up with water to the MIN mark and leave it to boil, waiting until the kettle switches itself off.

Note: The kettle cannot be switched off manually. The ON switch only serves to turn it back on again.

Caution: if the kettle is empty, take care not to place it on its base with the switch in the ON position.
