Before using for the first time
Boil the kettle twice with clear water to make sure
it is completely clean.
Heating / boiling water
Do not place the jug and base on or close to a hot
surface. Pull the button towards the handle, open
the lid and fill the kettle (or fill it through the spout).
Observe the water level indicator. Do not fill above
MAX mark! Risk of scalding from water boiling
over.
Close the lid again and engage the locking
mechanism otherwise the automatic steam stop
function will not work. Always place the jug onto
a dry base.
If the base is wet:
S pull out the mains plug
S dry the base and the surface underneath with
a tea towel or paper kitchen roll.
S plug in again.
Press the On/Off button upwards. The kettle will
start to heat the water and the indicator light will
come on. The kettle can only be switched on when
the jug is on the base.
The heating element will switch off when:
S the water boils
S the jug is lifted off the base
S the kettle is switched on but there is no water
in the jug.
Never open the lid once the kettle has been
switched on – risk of scalding!
Cleaning and maintenance
Pull out the mains plug. Wipe the outside of the
jug and the base with a damp cloth only; never
immerse them in water or place them in
a dishwasher.
If the jug has become slightly stained, pour in
some vinegar, leave it to stand for half an hour
and then clean it out with a washing-up brush.
If the staining is more severe, bring the vinegar
to the boil, whereby this will of course give rise to
a sharp smell. The jug can also be cleaned with
detergent.
After the jug has been cleaned, rinse it out with
clean water. This appliance is maintenance-free.
Descaling
Descale the jug regularly, at the latest when
S the time required to boil water becomes longer
S the appliance becomes noisier
S deposits can be seen.
The jug can be descaled with either vinegar (see
section on "Cleaning and maintenance") or by
using a descaler. Add descaler in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and fill the jug with
water.
The procedure for actually descaling the jug is
as follows.
S Leave the solution to stand for 5 minutes.
S Switch the kettle on and then off again after
1 minute. Leave the solution to stand for
a further 10 minutes. Repeat this procedure
at least 3 times, more frequently if required,
depending on the build-up of scale. Under no
circumstances allow the solution to boil.
This could damage the appliance.
S Rinse the jug, filter and lid with clean water.
