Using your kettle
Before using your new kettle you
should wipe it inside and outside with
a damp cloth due to hygienic reasons.
Initial use
0 Place the base unit (H) on a firm sur-
face.
0 Plug the mains plug into a wall socket.
If the mains cord is longer than neces-
3
sary it can be wound up at the bottom
of the base unit (H).
0 Press release button for lid (D) towards
the handle (E) and open the lid (C).
0 Fill with at least 0.5 l water, but not
higher than the Max. mark at inside of
kettle.
0 Close the lid (C) until it engages. The
automatic boil-dry safety cut-out can
only function reliably if this is done.
0 Place the kettle onto the base (H) in
any position you wish.
0 Press the ON/OFF switch (F) up, the
pilot light (G) lights up and the kettle
starts to heat up.
Do not use the water from the first
3
boiling cycle to prepare food.
The automatic switch off
The kettle will switch off automatically
and the pilot light will go out when the
water has boiled.
If you want to stop the heating process
before the kettle automatically
switches off, simply press the ON/OFF
switch (F) down. If you want to reheat
water which has already been heated,
press the ON/OFF switch (F) up again.
When the water has boiled the kettle
will switch off automatically. If the
kettle is only filled with a little water, it
takes longer to switch-off.
Safety system
This appliance is equipped with a boil-
dry safety cut-out. This feature pro-
tects the appliance from overheating
when started without water or from
boiling until it is empty if used with
the lid open. If the appliance is acci-
dently switched on without water, it is
automatically protected against over-
heating. The heating process is auto-
matically interrupted. Before using the
kettle again let it cool down for 5-
10 minutes.
Cleaning and care
Always disconnect the kettle from the
1
mains supply before cleaning.
1 Never clean the kettle and base unit
under running water or immerse it in
washing-up water.
0 Occasionally rinse out the kettle with
clean water.
0 Clean the outside of the appliance only
using a damp cloth. Do not use any
caustic or abrasive cleansing agents.
0 The kettle is made of stainless steel. If,
however, spots of rust appear, these are
only deposits adhering to the surface.
They can be removed with a stainless
steel cleaning agent.
