Operating Instructions
Before using your new kettle for the
first time, you should clean the outside
with a damp cloth for reasons of
hygiene. We recommend you to pour
away the water from the first boiling.
• Open the lid and fill the appliance with
water (Figure 2).
• Caution: Never fill with less than the
minimum quantity of water of 0.25 l,
or with more than the maximum quan-
tity of water of 1.5 l (Figure 3). If the
kettle is overfilled there is a risk that
boiling water will splash out of the
kettle.
• To switch on the appliance, press the
ON/OFF switch lever (Figure 4) down-
wards. The power indicator lights up
and indicates to you that the appliance
is switched on.
• Important: Before you switch on the
appliance, make sure that the lid is fit-
ted properly as the automatic switch
off device only works correctly if the
lid is shut properly (Figure 5).
• For technical reasons condensation
may form under the handle. This con-
densation will not affect the function
of the appliance.
Beeper (only SWK 780)
Depending on the model, the appliance
is equipped with a beeper that works
as follows:
• When the water is boiling the kettle
starts to beep, it switches off automat-
ically and the power indicator goes
out.
• The beeper also sounds if the kettle has
been put on to boil and is interrupted,
either by removing the appliance from
the base, or by switching it off using
the ON/OFF switch.
Filter (only SWK 780)
Depending on the model, the appliance
is equipped with a filter (Figure 1/L).
The filter can be removed.
The filter retains particles of scale that
may be present in the kettle. If your
kettle is heavily scaled, you must des-
cale it. Please carry out descaling as
described in the "Descaling" section.
Safety Functions
Safety has the highest priority during
the design of Electrolux appliances.
Your kettle has the following safety
functions:
• Automatic Switch Off Device. The
appliance switches itself off automati-
cally and the power indicator goes out
when the water is boiling.
• Protection Against Boiling Dry. Pro-
tects the appliance against overheating
if switched on without water. Heating
is stopped automatically. Leave the
appliance to cool for approx. 5-
10 minutes prior to using again.
• Protection Against Overheating.
Should you kettle overheat, it switches
off automatically. Leave to cool for
approx. 5-10 minutes prior to using
again.
• You Express Kettle has a fully thermally
insulated housing (Figure 1/C). This
– prevents the hot water in the appli-
ance cooling down too quickly,
– and protects you from burns when
the housing is touched
CAUTION: The lid and the upper part of
the appliance will become hot and
should not be touched.
