Before First Use

When using the kettle for the first time boil three jugs of water, and dispose of the boiled water. This will remove the last traces from the manufacturing process.

How to Boil Water

1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Fill the kettle with the required quantity of water (at least 0.5 litres). See water-level indicator.
3. Close the lid by releasing the flap on the handle.

WARNING: Make sure that you do not spill any water on the base.

4. Place the kettle on the base. Insert the plug in the wall socket. Push down the On/Off switch. The pilot light will illuminate.
5. The kettle switches off automatically when the water has boiled. Now disconnect the kettle from the main power supply. Always keep the lid closed when pouring the water out.

WARNING: Be careful you do not contact the hot water. It can cause serious burns.

Overheating Safeguard

The kettle is fitted with an overheating safeguard. This will switch off the kettle if it is operated without (sufficient) water. Allow the kettle to cool down for at least 10 minutes before using it again.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the appliance to cool.
• Clean the kettle with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water. Never put the appliance in a dishwasher. Make sure that the electrical connections do not become damp.
• If the interior of the kettle has become severely discoloured, then the best way to clean it is with a damp cloth and a little washing soda. After cleaning, rinse it very thoroughly.

WARNING: Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

• Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance is not connected to the power supply and that it has cooled down.

Descaling

Lime will be deposited on the inside depending on the hardness of the water. For this reason the appliance must be cleaned at regular intervals.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket, and allow the appliance to cool.
2. The kettle is fitted with a descaling filter. This filter must be removed for cleaning. Press the filter inward through the spout. The filter will spring loose. You can take it out through the top opening by turning the kettle upside down.
3. Fill the kettle with a vinegar solution to the MAX level, and bring to the boiling point.
4. Leave the kettle with the vinegar solution to stand for a couple of hours.
5. Empty the kettle, fill with clean water to the MAX level, and bring to the boiling point. Empty the kettle. Repeat this process twice.

WARNING: Never use ammonia or other products to descale the appliance. These can be injurious to your health. Use solely a vinegar solution, or special descaling agents available from retailers.

6. Place back the filter through the top opening and click it onto the spout.
