Boiling water
Danger
Never place the electrical base 4 in close proximity to water – a potentially fatal risk!
Notice
Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any water that has already stood in the water boiler for longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has cooled down. Always pour old water away.
Microbes could have formed in it!
•Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
•Press the unlocking button 2 and open the lid 1.
•Hold the kettle upright while filling it.
Only in this way can you correctly read the markings on the scale 7.
Fill the kettle...
–at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance does not overheat,
–no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling water spills out.
•First close the lid 1...
•then place the kettle on the base 4 so that it stands straight on the base 4.
•Now insert the plug into the power socket.
•Press the ON/OFF switch 3 down until it engages downwards.
•The control lamps 6 indicates that the appliance is now heating up.
•The appliance switches itself off and the control lamps 6 go out as soon as the water is on the boil. The ON/OFF switch 3 is released upwards.
Warning
First remove the plug from the wall power socket before you lift the kettle from the base 4. This avoids the risk that any water splashing out could come into contact with live electrical connections in the base 4, which could cause a short circuit.
Injury hazard
For safety reasons, the lid 1 should not be opened while the water is boiling or is very hot. There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.
