the kettle is still hot, to avoid cracks and leakage. When adding
cold water during operation, do not let cold water run down the
side walls of the kettle but pour the water slowly into the middle
of the kettle. Do not use any parts of the appliance with any other
device or for any purpose not described in this booklet. Do not handle

down completely, before cleaning the appliance and when the appli-
ance is not in use. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects with
the appliance (e.g. forks, knives, scrapers).

ring or puréeing within the kettle or glass insert. To avoid injuries and
damage, always remove the glass insert from the kettle before pouring.

heating clear drinking water or tea. For heating food and other beve-
rages, always use the glass insert. For de-scaling, only use the liquids
recommended in this booklet. Do not fill in any other liquids or food
directly into the kettle to avoid injuries and damage due to fire, elec-
tric shock, and high temperatures.To avoid overheating, before ope-
ration, always fill a sufficient amount of clear drinking water into the
tea kettle (at least 500 ml/MIN). Do not operate the appliance with
the kettle empty. Always observe the appropriate filling levels (see:
'Technical Specifications'). Please, keep in mind that the filling level
may rise significantly, when putting the glass insert into the kettle.
Also, the filling level could drop significantly, when operating the
kettle for a long time on high temperature. If the kettle is overfilled,
boiling water may splash out.
• Do not place any hard and/or heavy objects on or in the appliance
or any part or accessory of it.
