Important safety
precautions
Use and store the appliance out of the
reach of children.
The Voltage stated on the appliance
rating plate must correspond with that of
your mains supply.
Connect the appliance only to an earthed
mains safety socket.
Use the appliance only for boiling water
and not for any other liquid.
Use the appliance only on a firm and
even surface.
Do not put the appliance on a hot stove
plate, range or gas heater.
Never use the kettle without the lid.
Do not open the lid whilst the water is
being boiled.
Do not move the appliance whilst it is in
use.
Avoid touching any hot parts of the
appliance yourself and do not allow the
mains flex to do so.
Be careful of steam coming out of the
spout.
Be careful not to overfill the appliance, as
hot water spurting out can cause scalds.
Do not touch the appliance with wet
hands.
Mod. 858/859:
The appliance must always and only be
used with the base.
Always make sure that the appliance is
automatically or manually switched off
before taking the kettle out from the
base.
Do not allow the mains flex to come into
contact with any hot surface and do not
allow it to hang down from the table or
other worktop.
Always pull out the mains plug before
cleaning and after every use.

Allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
Do not dip the appliance, the base
(Mod. 858/859) or the flex into water.
Do not use the appliance if the appliance
or the mains flex is damaged.
If the mains flex does become damaged,
it must be replaced by the Krups
Customer Service Department or by a
similarly qualified individual, so as to
avoid personal danger.
Flex storage
There is a flex storage compartment in the
base. Adjust the length of the mains flex by
either pulling it out of, or pushing it into, the
storage compartment.
Filling with water
Move the switch to the 0 position.
Mod. 849: Always disconnect before filling
or pouring out. First pull out the mains plug
and then remove the flex from the kettle.
Fill with water. (1)
This can be done with the lid either on or
off.
To fill via the spout, operate the key for
opening the spout cover. (2)
The spout cover will close automatically
when the key is released.
To take off the lid, press the lid release
key and remove the lid upwards. (3)
After filling, put the lid back on and lock it
into position by pressing downwards. (4)
The amount of water can be seen in the
water level indicator and should be neither
less than about 0,5 litre nor more than about
1,7 litre.
The heating element must always be covered
with water when in use. If the appliance is
switched on with insufficient water in it, a
special protective device will automatically
switch it off. You should then pull out the
mains plug and allow the appliance to cool
down before refilling with water.
