Operation and maintenance
Remove all packaging of the device.
Check if the voltage of the appliance corresponds to the main voltage of your home.
Rated voltage : AC220-240V 50Hz.
Do not use the device near a sink filled with water. If the device has fallen into the water first
pull the plug from the outlet. Place the device on a flat stable surface and ensure a minimum of
10 cm. free space around the device. This device is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or
for outside use.
Use
The kettle should be used exclusively for boiling water; never use it with other liquids or
ingredients. Before the first use boil a full kettle of water to clean the kettle and discard this
water. You can open the lid by pressing the lid release button (No. 1).
Always remove the kettle from the base (No. 7) when filling it, this to avoid water dripping into
the base. Always fill the kettle between the minimum and maximum level markers, see the
water gauge (No. 4). The maximum filling is 1,5 liters. If insufficient water is used, the kettle will
switch off, with too much water it may boil over.
Switch the device on by pressing at the on/off switch (No. 2).
The indicator lamp (No. 6) will be illuminated. Once the water has boiled, the on/off switch
returns automatically to the off position.
If the appliance is accidentally switched on when empty, the boil-dry protection will
automatically switch it off. Adding cool water will cool the boil-dry protection mechanism which
enables you to use the kettle as normal.
Note:
 Do not pickup the kettle from its base until it has switched off automatically or you have
switched it off yourself first.
 The steam from the device is very hot, avoid any contact, you may seriously burn yourself.
 Do not fill the pot higher than the MAX level indicator or boiling water may spray out.
 The kettle may only be used with the accompanying base.
 The cord should be completely unrolled and not left rolled around the base when the
appliance is on.

or for storage, the power cord may be wound under the bottom of the base (No. 7).
Descaling
