5 - The appliance switches off automatically once the water reaches boiling point, the switch (A) returns to position «0» and the indicator light (B) goes out.
-You can also stop the kettle at any time during the heating cycle by setting the switch
(A) to position «0».
-The appliance is protected by a safety device which regulates the heating cycle if the kettle is switched on with too little water or no water at all. Pour cold water into the appliance, or wait for a few minutes to restart the heating cycle.
Limescale filter (depending on model)
Depending on the hardness of the local water, a layer of limescale may form inside your kettle. If this happens, when the water boils, particles of limescale may be found in the water you pour. To prevent this from occurring, we have equipped the kettle with a special limescale filter which retains the particles of scale when you pour water.
-Avoid pouring water too quickly, so as to allow it to flow slowly through the limescale filter.
-To remove the limescale filter, lift the kettle away from its base and allow the appliance to cool down. Never remove the filter when the appliance is full of hot water.
-Press the control (D) to open the lid.
6- Swivel the filter and pull it upward to remove it from the pouring spout.
-To replace the limescale filter, slide it into the pouring spout and lock it by pushing downwards.
Notes:
-The filter is only suitable for this type of kettle.
-The absence of a filter will not stop the kettle from working.
Cleaning
-Unplug the kettle, remove it from its base and allow it to cool down.
-To clean the external surfaces, use a damp cloth with a little
-Never immerse the kettle or the base in water.

Maintenance
. Descaling
To allow water to reach boiling point, it is essential that you descale your kettle at regular intervals. To do this, we advise you to use wine vinegar:
-Pour 1/2 litre water into the kettle.
-Add 1/2 glass of 8° wine vinegar.
-Bring to the boil and leave to work for 15 minutes.
-Then rinse your kettle several times in cold water.
-Boil fresh water before using the kettle again.
. Model with limescale filter
This same mixture (water + vinegar) can also be used to descale the limescale filter.
-Pour a little of the hot mixture into a contai- ner.
-Soak the filter in the mixture for several mi- nutes, until the particles of tartar trapped in the pores of the filter have dissolved.
-Then rinse the filter thoroughly in fresh water.
Note:
Our guarantee does not cover kettles which do not work or work poorly because they have not been descaled.
What to do if your appliance does not work?
- Check:
. the electrical connection.
. that the kettle is correctly positioned on its base.
. that the switch is in position «I».
. that the kettle has not been switched on without any water. If it is the case, pour cold water in the kettle, wait for one minute before switching it on again.
-If your kettle works only intermittently before boiling, your appliance probably needs descaling. Refer to the section headed
«Maintenance».
If your appliance still does not work: con- tact an approved Moulinex service centre (see list in the booklet «Moulinex Service»).
