Putting into operation
Before first use clean the inside of

open the lid by pressing the button
on the upper part of the handle.
The length of the cord which is not
required can be rolled up at the bot-
tom of the base. Never allow the cord
to come in contact with the hot kettle.
Put the plug into an earthed socket.
Fill the water up to the maximum
marking. It is situated in the kettle
opposite the spout. Close the lid.
Only this way the automatic boil stop
works correctly.
Put the kettle on the base in any
position you like. Only now press the
button below the handle downwards.
The button engages only if the
kettle is not on the base.
Do not use the water of the first boil-
ling process for preparation of food.
Automatic boil stop

ling the automatic boil stop
switches off the appliance.
If there is only little water in the kettle
the boiling period until boil stop will be
extended.
If only warm water is desired, the hea-
ting process can be stopped at any
time by pressing the button. The auto-
matic boil stop also works when the
kettle is lifted from the base.
From the outlets at the bottom of the
handle some condensation water may
drop on border of the socket. This is
normal and nothing to worry about.
