PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Before using the kettle for the first time (or following a long period without use), the kettle should be boiled 3 times.
1.Read the safety instructions through carefully.
2.Fill the kettle with water to the maximum mark and switch it on as described in "Using the kettle". Allow the water to boil.
3.Pour the water out once it has boiled. Repeat the process described in points
Safety feature for boiling dry
If you switch the kettle on without there being any water in it or when the water level is below
0.25l, the safety feature that prevents the kettle from boiling dry automatically switches the kettle off. The kettle can be switched on normally as soon as it is filled with a sufficient amount of water.
Storage
If the kettle is to be stored for any length of time without use, the cord can be rolled up around the inside of the base. Check that the kettle is clean and dry before storing.
USING THE KETTLE
1.Open the lid (1) by pressing the release button (4). The lid can now be removed by lifting it straight up and away from the kettle.
2.Pour fresh water into the kettle. The kettle must be filled to at least the minimum mark (0.25 l), but no higher than the maximum mark (1 l) indicated on the water level gauge
(2).
3.If you removed the lid in step 1, reattach and close it.
4.Place the kettle on its base (3) by positioning it so the connector on the base fits into the hole on the underside of the kettle.
5.Plug the base in and check that it is switched on at the wall. Whenever the socket is turned on, the water level gauge will light up blue.
•Caution! If you press the on switch (5) before replacing the kettle on the base, the kettle switches on automatically when replaced on the base. For safety’s sake, press the off switch (6) before replacing the kettle on the base to avoid accidentally boiling the kettle.
6.Switch the kettle on by pressing the on switch. The indicator light (7) comes on and the kettle begins to heat up the water.
The water will boil within a few minutes, depending on the amount of water in the kettle. If you want to interrupt the boiling, you can turn the kettle off at any time by pressing the off switch. Once the water is boiling, the kettle will automatically switch off thanks to the integrated thermostat. The indicator light goes out.
CLEANING
•Before cleaning, remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the kettle to cool down.
•Clean the external surfaces of the kettle with a damp cloth. The kettle must not be submerged in any form of liquid.
•Make sure that no water gets into the connector on the base or the hole in the underside of the kettle.
•Do not use any kind of strong or abrasive cleaning agent on the kettle or accessories. Never use a scouring sponge or similar to clean the kettle, as the surface may be damaged.
•The kettle’s limescale filter can be removed by removing the lid, taking hold of the limescale filter and carefully swinging it back towards the handle and lifting it out. Clean the limescale filter with a soft brush.
•The limescale filter is replaced by putting the pin on the limescale filter into the corresponding hole inside the kettle and then carefully pushing the limescale filter forward towards the kettle’s spout until it clicks into place.
