Parts and operating controls

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

Important: Use the kettle 1 only with its included base 6.

  • Only fill the kettle with water. Milk and instant beverages will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate 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 7 and plug it in.
  • Fill kettle 1 with water. Bring the water to a boil and discard it. Repeat the procedure. 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

  • Fill the kettle with fresh water through the spout or the open lid 2 (press lid release button 3).
  • Read the quantity on the water level indicator. Do not fill with less than 0.3 liters or more than 1.7 liters of water!
  • Close the lid 2 until it locks and place kettle 1 on base 6.
  • Press down the switch 4; 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 ON/OFF switch 4.

Warning: If you remove 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 5 inserted, otherwise the kettle will not switch off. For physical reasons, base 6 may
collect some condensation water. This is normal; it does not mean that 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 kettle 1 is empty, otherwise, the overheat control will engage and the appliance will switch itself off automatically.

Cleaning and maintenance

Danger of electric shock!
Never immerse the device in water or place it in the dishwasher! Do not steam-clean the appliance.

  • Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
  • Clean the outside of the kettle 1 and base 6 with a damp cloth. Do not use strong or abrasive cleaning agents.
  • Remove the limescale filter 5, soak it in a little vinegar, then rinse clean with clear water.
  • Rinse the kettle 1 and the limescale filter 5 with clear water.

Descaling

Regular descaling

  • makes your kettle last longer;
  • ensures proper function;
  • saves energy.
    Descale kettle 1 with vinegar or a commercial descaling agent.
  • Fill the kettle 1 with water up to the 1.7 mark and bring to a boil. Next, add a small amount of white vinegar and let it sit for several hours. You can also use a
    commercial descaling product and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Rinse the kettle 1 and the limescale filter 5 with clear water.

Troubleshooting

The appliance does not heat and the ON/OFF switch 4 does not light up.
→The overheat control has tripped.

  • Let the kettle 1 cool down for some time so that the appliance can be switched on again.

The unit turns off before the water comes to a boil.
→The kettle contains too much scale.

  • Descale the kettle as per the instructions.
