Before you use the appliance for the first time, please proceed as follows:
Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz mains
socket.
In order to remove any possible residue from the manufacturing process, fill the
appliance once with water up to the maximum filling level ("MAX" mark), boil
the water and then pour it away before using the appliance for the first time.
6.1. Operating the kettle
CAUTION!
Risk of injury through burning.
Do not overfill the kettle because otherwise boiling
water could spray out.
Do not open the lid of the kettle while the water is
boiling.
Do not operate the device without the filter inserted
because otherwise boiling water could spray out.
To boil water, proceed as follows:
Open the lid by pressing on the lid opener.
Add the desired volume of water to the water container. Add at least enough
water to reach the "MIN" mark on the gauge. Do not exceed the maximum fill-
ing level marked with "MAX" on the gauge.
Place the water container onto the base plate so that it clicks firmly into place.
Close the lid again.
Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz mains
socket.
Switch on the kettle by setting the On/Off switch to position 1.
Wait until the water boils. The appliance switches off automatically when boil-
ing point is reached. However, you can also switch off the appliance before this
point by setting the On/Off switch to position 0.
