For Your Safety

To avoid danger, you must pay attention to the safety and operating instructions. Melitta® is not liable for damage caused by ignoring these instructions.

1. Safety Notice

• The kettle is suitable for use in private households and for heating water in normal household quantities. All other use is contrary to that intended and can lead to injury or damage. Melitta® is not liable for damage caused by using the appliance in ways other than that intended.
• Use the kettle only with the corresponding base unit.
• Connect the appliance only to a correctly installed socket.
• Place the kettle on a dry, level and stable surface.
• Fill only with fresh, cold water.
• The kettle must not be overfilled. If it boils over, there is the risk of scalding. Capacity max. 1.0 l (see markings on appliance).
• Only use the kettle to boil water; do not use it to heat other liquids.
• Do not use the kettle without the limescale filter.
• Do not use the kettle without the lid. Do not open the lid when heating water.
• Parts of the kettle become very hot when it is in use. Avoid contact with these parts and with hot steam.
• Never immerse the kettle in water.
• Remove the kettle from the electric socket when it is not being used for a longer period.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the dangers associated with it. Cleaning and maintenance should not be undertaken by children unless they are 8 years old or over and are supervised. The appliance and power cable should be kept away from children under 8 years old.
• The appliance can be used by people with limited physical, sensory or mental capacities or limited experience and/or knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the dangers associated with it.
• Children must not play with the kettle.
• Replacing the power cable and any other repairs should only be carried out by the Melitta® customer service or by an authorised repair workshop.

2. Before First Use

• Ensure that the power supply in your home corresponds to that on the model plate on the base of the appliance.
• Connect the base unit to a power source. Unused cable can be stored in the base of the appliance 1.
• All kettles have been tested during production to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore, there may be remaining water deposits. Clean the appliance before use by boiling the maximum amount of water twice.

3. Heating Water

• Ensure that the kettle is connected to a power supply.
• Open the lid 2. The lid is not detachable.
• Fill the kettle with the desired amount of cold water. With the help of the level markers 3 on the handle, you can measure the desired amount of water.
• Never use the kettle without water; fill it with at least 0.5 litres of water (see level markers).
• Never fill the kettle above the 'max' level.
• Close the lid.
• Put the kettle on the base unit.
• Turn the kettle on 4. The switch 5 lights up, showing that the kettle has begun to heat.
• You can stop the kettle heating at any time by using the switch or lifting the kettle from the base unit.

Run dry protection: The heating element is equipped with over-heating protection. If you accidentally turn on the kettle without water, or if the water boils dry (e.g. if the lid is not closed), dry run protection means the kettle will switch off automatically. Allow the kettle to cool before filling with water again.

4. Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning, always remove the appliance from the power source.

External cleaning:

• Do not clean the kettle or the base unit under running water.
• The kettle and the base unit can both be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Descaling: Limescale deposits in the kettle are unavoidable. Heavy calcification increases the amount of energy the appliance uses, as the limescale prevents the optimal transfer of heat energy to the water. To prevent damage and to ensure the best transfer of energy, the kettle must be regularly descaled. To descale, we recommend using Melitta® "Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines". Use the descaler following the instructions on the pack. After descaling, you must boil the maximum amount of clean water 2-3 times to remove residue of the descaler.

5. Notes on Disposal

• Appliances labelled with this symbol are subject to European guidelines for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
• Electric appliances do not go in the household bin. Dispose of the appliance in an environmentally friendly way using suitable collection systems.
• Packaging materials are raw materials and can be recycled. Please recycle them.
