2. Before first use
• Ensure that the power supply in your home
corresponds to that on the model plate on the
base of the appliance.
• Connect the base unit to a power source. Unused
cable can be stored in the base of the appliance.
• All kettles have been tested during production to
ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may be
remaining water deposits. Clean the appliance before
use by boiling the maximum amount of water twice.
3. Heating water
• Ensure that the kettle is connected to a power
supply.
• Open the lid . The lid is not detachable.
• Fill the kettle with the desired amount of cold water.
With the help of the level markers on the right
and left you can measure the desired amount of
water.
• Never use the kettle without water, fill it with at
least 0.25 litres of water (see level markers).
• Using the 0.25 litre level markers, boil only the
amount of water you need, if you only boil the
amount you need for e.g. a large mug of tea, this
will save energy and protect the environment.
• Never fill the kettle above the 'max' level.
• Close the lid.
• Put the kettle on the base unit.
• Turn the kettle on . The red light at the front
illuminates showing that the kettle has begun to heat.
• When the water begins to boil, steam bubbles
become visible in the window, the water has now
reached its highest temperature. The kettle needs
only a short time until the steam automatically
switches it off.
• To save energy you could turn the kettle off as soon
as the water begins to boil.
• You can stop the kettle heating at any time by using
the switch or lifting the kettle from the base unit.
Run dry protection
The heating element is equipped with over heating
protection. If you accidentally turn on the kettle
without water, or if the water boils dry (e.g. if the lid
is not closed), dry run protection means the kettle
will switch off automatically. Allow the kettle to cool
before filling with water again.
Limescale filter
The limescale filter in the outlet holds back limescale
or other large particles. You can remove the limescale
filter to clean it.
