results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating should
the appliance be erroneously switched on
without any water, or if the heating element
is calcifi ed. Once the safety cut-out has
switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to
cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled
before it is switched on again.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ To clean the kettle, boil and discard the
fi rst fi lling of water.
Boiling water
∙ Remove the water container from its
base.
∙ Open the lid and fi ll the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min. and Max. markings.
∙ Close the lid and place the container back
on its base. Insert the plug into a suitable
wall socket and press the On/Off switch;
the pilot light on the water level indicator
comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After reaching
the boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. A beep signal is
heard and the pilot light goes out.
∙ To interrupt the boiling process, set the
On/Off switch to its Off position.
∙ To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
∙ To prevent hot steam from being emitted,
ensure that the lid remains closed while
pouring out the water.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall outlet after
use.
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your area,
lime deposits may build up inside the water
container. 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 insuffi cient
descaling. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water
and 40 ml of vinegar essence 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 clean water.
∙ During descaling, ensure suffi cient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
