Prior to first use, clean the kettle thoroughly from the inside. To do so, open the lid by pressing the
button on the handle.
A mesh filter is fitted in the spout to hold back large limescale and calcium deposits when pouring out
the water.
The section of the power cable not in use can be wound up and stored on the underside of the base.
Connect the power plug to a shockproof socket.
Fill in at least so much water that the water level is visible on the water level indicator, but no higher
than the max mark. Close the lid. Only then will the automatic boiling stop work reliably.
Set the kettle on the base facing in any direction. Only then push the ON switch under the handle
downwards.
