Before Using for the First Time

Operation
Filling
- Remove the kettle from the base unit.
- You can fill the kettle with water via the spout or the neck with the lid opened.
- To prevent dry operation, do not fill the kettle with less than 0.5 L of water (below the "MIN" mark). Do not fill with more than 1.7 L (up to the "MAX" mark) to avoid overfilling and water spilling out during boiling.
Switching On
- After filling with water, place the kettle on the base unit.
- Connect the plug to the power supply and push the On/Off switch. The appliance will turn on, and the indicator light will illuminate.
Switching Off
- When water begins to boil, the kettle will switch off automatically, and the indicator light will go off.
- NOTE: This appliance has a safety system that automatically switches off the heating element if the appliance is inadvertently switched on when empty or operates dry. In this case, let the appliance cool down for 10 minutes before refilling with water.
Switching On Again
- If the kettle has been switched off automatically, it can be switched on again after cooling for 15-20 seconds.
Care and Cleaning
- Open the lid and pour out the water through the orifice.
- Always remove the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down completely.
- Clean the outside of the kettle and the base unit with a soft damp cloth, then wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.
- Remove scale regularly using special descaling agents available on the market, following their instructions.
Filter Cleaning
