Use
Repeat the operations described above: note that the kettle must be filled to
between the minimum and maximum levels.
If you do not require very hot water, stop the heating process by turning off the
switch.
After use: remove the kettle from the base before pouring out the water and
disconnect the plug from the power socket,

water from stagnating and reduce limescale furring.
During long periods of inactivity, remove the plug from the electric socket. Wind
the power cord around the supports provided in the base.
