important: Use the kettle 1 only with its included base 9

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 10 and plug it in.
Fill the 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).
Check the amount by reading the water level indicator markings (min and max).
Close the lid 2 until it locks and place the kettle 1 on the base 9.
Press the O ON/OFF switch 4. The kettle emits a signal, and the factory-set temperature (100°C) lights up. The water is being heated.
By pressing button 6 + or – you can set the temperature to ca. 70°C, ca. 80°C, ca. 90°C or ca. 100°C.
When the water has reached the selected temperature, the kettle will switch off automatically, the temperature indicator 5 goes off, and a signal sounds.

Note

The selected temperature can be changed at any time while the kettle is heating up. While the kettle heats up, the current temperature lights up; the preset temperature flashes until it has been reached.
If the temperature cannot be set, this indi-cates that the water in the kettle is hotter than the desired temperature. The current temperature will light up.
You can turn off the kettle at any time by pressing the O ON/OFF switch 4 again.

Warning

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. The selected settings will be lost (reset to factory setting).

N.B

Use the kettle only while the lid 2 is closed and the limescale filter 8 is in place. For physical reasons, base 9 may collect some condensation water. This is normal; it does not mean that the kettle 1 leaks.
When you set the temperature to 100°C, the kettle will turn off only after the water has reached the boiling point, i.e. it will bubble for a short period of time.
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.
