5. HOW TO USE YOUR
AUTOMATIC KETTLE
• Place the appliance on a dry, flat, stable
surface.
• Open the lid by pressing the
corresponding button/s and fill with the
required quantity of water. The water
level should be between the 'MAX' and
'MIN' marks.
• Replace the lid and make sure it is
properly fitted, otherwise the kettle will
not switch itself off when the water boils.
• Place the kettle on the base, plug into
the mains and turn the on-off switch to
the 'I' position. The kettle ON pilot light
will come on.
• The kettle will turn itself off when the
water inside reaches boiling point.
• Do not add more water to the kettle while
it is switched on.
• Do not leave water in the kettle for long
periods or overnight.
Warning: The kettle is equipped with a
thermal safety mechanism that protects it
against overheating in the absence of water
or if the water level is below the indicated
minimum mark ('MIN'). When this happens,
the kettle switches itself off automatically.
Unplug the appliance from the mains, turn
the on-off switch to '0' and leave to cool
before filling with water once again. When
the kettle has cooled, it should work
normally. If this is not the case, contact an
authorised technical assistance service.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After use, unplug the appliance from the
mains and leave to cool.
Clean the base and the outside of the kettle
with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not use chemical products or abrasive
detergents that may scratch the plastic
coating.
Protect the connection base, cable and plug
against humidity.

7. DECALCIFICATION
After repeated use, lime deposits may form
on the inside of the kettle and interfere with
its correct working. These deposits can be
removed using any kettle decalcifying
products available on the market.
If you prefer, you can also decalcify your
kettle with white vinegar. To do so, follow
the instructions outlined below:
• Place three cups of vinegar in the kettle
and then fill with water. Leave the water-
vinegar mixture to soak overnight
(without boiling).
• The next morning, pour away the water-
vinegar mixture, fill the kettle with fresh
water and then empty once again.
Repeat this operation. The kettle is now
ready for use.
• We recommend that you decalcify your
kettle once every 4 weeks if used on a
daily basis.
