Parts and Operating Controls

• 1. Kettle (with water level indicator)
• 2. Lid
• 3. Lid opening button
• 4. On/Off switch, illuminated
• 5. Limescale filter (removable)
• 6. Base
• 7. Cable tidy

Important: Use the kettle only with its included base. Fill only with water. Milk or instant beverages can burn and damage the appliance. Never operate without water or overfill; observe min/max markings. Overfilling may cause water to boil over!

Operation

Before first use:

• Remove any stickers or film.
• Unroll the cable from the tidy and plug it in.
• Fill the kettle with water, bring to a boil, and discard. Repeat this procedure to clean the kettle.
• For the first boil, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Boiling water:

• Fill the kettle with fresh water through the spout or by opening the lid using the button.
• Read the water level indicator. Fill between 0.3 litres (min) and 1.7 litres (max) of water.
• Close the lid.
• Press the switch down; it will light up, indicating heating.
• The kettle switches off automatically when the water has boiled.
• The appliance can also be switched off manually by pulling the switch up.

Important Notes:

• If the kettle is removed from the base and replaced before heating is complete, it will not continue heating.
• Operate only with the lid closed and the limescale filter inserted for automatic shut-off.
• Condensation may form on the base; this is normal and does not indicate a leak.
• Allow the kettle to cool for 5 minutes before refilling.
• Do not turn on the appliance if the kettle is empty, as the overheat control will switch it off.

Cleaning and Maintenance

? Risk of electric shock! Never immerse the device in water or place it in the dishwasher. Do not steam-clean.

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the kettle and base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
• Remove the limescale filter, soak in vinegar, then rinse clean with water.
• Rinse the kettle and filter with clear water.

Descaling

Regular descaling:

• Extends the kettle's lifespan.
• Ensures proper function.
• Saves energy.

Descale the kettle with vinegar or a commercial descaling agent.

• Fill the kettle with water up to the 1.7L mark and bring to a boil. Add a small amount of white vinegar and let it sit for several hours, or use a commercial descaler following manufacturer's instructions.
• Rinse the kettle and limescale filter with clear water.

⚠️ Caution: Never use hard objects to remove limescale residue, as this will damage the seal.

Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale more frequently.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not heat, switch does not light up: The overheat control has tripped. Let the kettle cool down for some time to allow it to be switched on again.
• Unit turns off before water boils: The kettle is scaled. Descale the kettle as per instructions.
