Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The kettle features an automatic shut-off when water boils or when the kettle is empty, enhancing safety.
• The exterior of the kettle is designed to remain cool to the touch during operation, reducing the risk of burns.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the kettle and its power base from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, fill the kettle with fresh water up to the 'MAX' line. Boil the water, then discard it. Repeat this process twice to ensure the kettle is clean.
3. Positioning: Place the power base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the cord is not dangling where it can be pulled or tripped over.
4. Filling the Kettle: Press the one-touch button on the handle to open the lid. Fill the kettle with the desired amount of fresh water, observing the extra-large water window. Do not fill below the 'MIN' mark or above the 'MAX' mark (1.7 L). Close the lid securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Place on Base: Position the kettle onto its 360-degree rotational power base. The cordless design allows for easy placement from any angle.
2. Power On: Plug the power base into a suitable electrical outlet. Press the power switch located at the bottom of the handle to begin the boiling cycle. An indicator light will illuminate.
3. Boiling Process: The kettle will rapidly heat the water. It features a powerful 1500W heating element for fast boiling.
4. Automatic Shut-Off: The kettle will automatically turn off once the water reaches a boil or if the kettle is accidentally switched on when empty. The indicator light will turn off.
5. Pouring: Lift the kettle from its base for cord-free pouring. The spout is designed for precise pouring.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your kettle and ensure optimal performance.

• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Interior Cleaning: The interior is made of premium stainless steel. For general cleaning, rinse with water.
• Anti-Scale Filter: The kettle includes an easy-to-remove anti-scale filter located behind the spout. Regularly remove and rinse this filter under running water to prevent limescale buildup and ensure clean water for your beverages.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up inside the kettle, especially in hard water areas. To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) or a commercial descaling solution. Bring to a boil and let it stand for an hour (or as per descaler instructions). Empty and rinse thoroughly several times.
• Product Care: Hand wash only. Do not immerse the power base or the kettle in water.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KRUPS BW311050 SAVOY Electric Kettle, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Kettle not turning on: Ensure the power base is securely plugged into a working outlet and the kettle is correctly seated on the base. Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Water not boiling: Verify that the kettle contains water above the 'MIN' level. The automatic shut-off feature prevents operation if the kettle is empty.
• Slow boiling or excessive noise: Limescale buildup can affect performance. Refer to the 'Descaling' instructions in the Maintenance section.
• Water tastes unusual: Ensure the kettle has been properly cleaned before first use and regularly descaled.
