Parts and operating controls

1. Kettle (with water level indicator)
2. Lid with lock
3. O/I ON/OFF switch, illuminated
4. Limescale filter (removable)
5. Base
6. Cable tidy

Use the kettle 1 only with its included base 5.

• Only fill the kettle with water. Milk and instant beverages will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate the kettle 1 without water and do not overfill it; observe the min and max markings. If the kettle is too full, the water will boil over!

Before using for the first time

• Remove any stickers or film.
• Unroll the right amount of cable from the cable tidy 6 and plug it in.
• Fill the kettle 1 with water. Bring the water to a boil and discard it. Repeat the proce dure. This will make sure that the kettle is clean for normal use.
• When the water comes to a boil for the first time, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Boiling water

• Remove the lid 2 and fill the kettle 1 with fresh water through the opening or spout.
• Read the quantity on the water level indi cator. Do not fill with less than 0.25 litres or more than 1,7 litres of water!
• Put on the lid 2 at the mark and twist to to lock it in place.
• Press down the O/I ON/OFF switch 3; the switch lights up. The water is heated.
• The kettle switches off automatically once the water has boiled.

The appliance can also be switched off at any time by pulling up the O/I ON/OFF switch 3.

If you remove the kettle 1 from the base and replace it before the heating process is over, the kettle will not continue to heat the water.
N.B.: Only operate the kettle with the lid 2 closed and the limescale filter 4 inserted, otherwise the kettle will not switch off. For physical reasons, the base 5 may collect some condensation water. This is normal; it does not mean that the kettle 1 leaks.
After boiling, let the kettle cool down for 5 minutes before refilling it with water.
Do not turn on the appliance if the kettle 1 is empty, otherwise the overheat control will engage and the appliance will switch itself off automatically.
