Before using for the first time (or after a long period of storage), fill and boil the appliance three times.

1.Read the safety instructions through carefully.

2.Fill with water to the maximum mark (1.2 L).

3.Switch on the appliance. Allow the water to boil.

4.Pour the water out once it has boiled.

Repeat steps 2-4 three more times. The appli- ance is now ready for use.

USING THE APPLIANCE

1.Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water (minimum 0,25 L, maximum 1.2 L). To fill the kettle, remove the lid and pour water into it.

2.Place the kettle on its base, which should be placed on a fixed, flat surface. Next, plug in the appliance and press the "I" button. The indicator light will come on.

3.The water will come to a boil in just a few minutes. If you want to interrupt the boiling process, press the "0" button.

4.Once the water is boiling, the kettle will automatically switch off thanks to the integrated thermostat.The time it takes the water to reach a boil depends on how much water is in the kettle.The kettle can be activated again after thirty seconds. Do not try to turn it on before thirty seconds have gone by, as this might destroy the appliance.

Anti boil-dry device

This appliance has a hidden heating element and is therefore nickel-free.

This kettle has an automatic shut-off safeguard to prevent it boiling dry.This is activated if the appliance contains too little or no water when turned on. If this function has been activated, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool

for 5-10 minutes. Do not pour water into the appliance to cool down the heating element. This can damage the heating element.

The appliance can be used again after 5-10 minutes.

CLEANING

When cleaning the appliance, you should pay attention to the following points:

•Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

•Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.

•Wipe using a well-wrung cloth and hot water. A little detergent can be added if the appliance is heavily soiled.

•Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the appliance, as they may scratch the surfaces.

•Make sure that no water gets into the connector on the base or the hole in the underside of the kettle.

DESCALING

The lime content of ordinary tap water means limescale may be deposited inside the app- liance

To descale the appliance, use a solution of acetic acid and water, or a proprietary desca- ling agent which can be purchased in all supermarkets.

1.Mix 1 dl. acetic acid (never use ordinary household vinegar) with 3 dl of cold water, or follow the manufacturer's instructions for the descaling agent.

2.Pour the solution in the appliance and turn it on. Allow the solution to come to a boil twice.

Afterwards, discard the solution.

3.To remove any remaining trances of limescale and acetic acid/descaling solution, fill the up to the maximum mark with cold water and turn on it on.

4.After the water has boiled, pour it out. Repeat this process three times. The appliance is now ready for use.

5.Descale the appliance after 2-3 months of daily use.
