Use

1 TO OPEN THE LID, ACCORDING TO THE MODEL

-Hinged lid: press if necessary on the locking system and pull backwards. (fig 2)

-Assisted opening lid: press on the locking system and the lid lifts automatically (fig 3)

-Automatic opening lid: press the button at the top of the handle. (fig 4)

-Lockable lid: turn the lid to the left to unlock it and lift it. (fig 5)

To close the lid, press it down firmly or turn it to the right in the case of the lockable lid.

2PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.

Your kettle must only be used with the base that matches it and its own anti-scale filter.

3 FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (FIG 6)

You can fill it through the spout, which ensures better maintenance of the filter. As a minimum, cover the element (or the bottom of the kettle) with water.

•Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.

•Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may spill out.

•Do not use without water.

•Check that the lid is closed properly before use.

•The kettle must always be used with its own anti-scale filter.

4 POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.

5FOR KETTLES THAT FEATURE A TEMPERATURE SWITCH, SELECT THE TEMPERATURE ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS

Position for boiling water or position for the ideal temperature for drinking immediately. (fig 7)

6 TO START THE KETTLE

Press the on/off button positioned on the top or the bottom of the handle according to the model. (fig 8)

7 FOR KETTLES THAT FEATURE A TEMPERATURE SWITCH

if you move quickly from position to position after heating the water, the kettle has to reinitialise. If you think that this is taking a long time, you can add cold water to speed up the start of heating.

8 THE KETTLE MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT, DEPENDING ON MODEL

9 THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

as soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature. You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. Depending on the model, the interior light and the indicator light will go out when the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.

Throw away the water from the first two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.

Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
