Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without containing any water,
or if the heating element is calcified. Once
the safety cut-out has switched off the
kettle, it must be allowed to cool down
sufficiently, or must be descaled, before
being switched on again.
Before using for the first time
For reasons of hygiene, boil and then
discard the first two fillings of water from
the new kettle.
Boiling water
∙ Set the voltage selector to the correct
voltage.
∙ O pen the water container lid and fill the
container with water to the desired level,
observing the minimum and maximum
level marks.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Plug in the mains power plug and turn
on the kettle using the on/off switch. The
indicator light comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator light
goes out.
∙ To interrupt the boiling process, use the
On/Off switch to turn the kettle off.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before pouring hot water.
∙ To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring.

∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
∙ If the kettle is operated several times in
a row without time to cool down, it may
cause a few drops of water to appear,
due to condensation forming below the
water container. This is safe and does
not constitute a defect.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals.
Any warranty claim will be null and void
if the kettle malfunctions because of
insufficient descaling.
When descaling, a mixture of 0.3 litres
of water to two tablespoons of vinegar is
suitable.
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Scale filter
∙ If a lot of scale accumulates on the filter,
it can be removed from the spout to be
cleaned.
∙ To remove the scale filter, pull the lower
tab upwards and loosen the filter.
∙ To reinsert the filter, first hook it in at the
top and then press downwards.
