Congratulations on purchasing this
Bosch appliance. You have acquired
a high-quality product that will bring
you a lot of enjoyment.
Parts and controls
1 Jug (with water level indicator)
2 Lid with lock
3 Button to open lid
4 O On/Off switch, illuminated
5 Limescale filter (removable)
6 Base
7 Cord tidy
Important: The jug should only be used
with the base supplied.
■ The kettle should only ever be filled
with water. Milk or instant products
will burn and damage the appliance.
Never operate the kettle without water
or overfill: observe the min and max
markings. If the kettle is too full, the
water will boil over!
Before using for the
first time
■ Remove any stickers or film.
■ Unwind the cord to the required length
and plug in.
■ Fill the jug with water and bring to the
boil twice to clean it thoroughly.
■ When the water comes to the boil for
the first time, add a tablespoon of white
vinegar.
Boiling water
1. Fill the jug with fresh water through the
spout or the opened lid (press button to
open lid).
2. Read the quantity off the water level
indicator. Do not fill with less than 0.25
litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!
3. Press down on the lid to close and place
the jug on the base.
4. Press down the switch and it will light
up. The water is heated.
5. The kettle switches off automatically
once the water has boiled.

The appliance can also be switched off
at any time by moving up the O On/Off
switch.
Attention: If you lift the jug from the base
and replace it before the water has boiled,
the kettle will not continue heating.
Notes:
■ Only operate the kettle with the lid
closed and the limescale filter inserted
or the kettle will not switch off.
■ For reasons of physics condensation
may form on the base. This is normal,
and the jug is not leaking.
■ After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling.
■ Do not turn on the appliance if the jug
is empty. Otherwise the overheating
protection will trip and the appliance will
switch off automatically.
Cleaning and maintenance
W Risk of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or
place it in the dishwasher!
Do not steam-clean the appliance.
■ Pull out the mains plug.
■ The jug and base should only be wiped
down on the outside with a damp
cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive
detergents.
■ Remove the limescale filter and place in
a little vinegar with clean water.
■ Rinse the jug and limescale filter with
clean water.
Descaling
Regular descaling:
■ prolongs the life of the appliance.
■ ensures that it functions properly.
■ avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled
pouring if filter is covered with limescale.
■ saves energy.
Descale the jug with vinegar or a
commercially available descaling agent.
■ Fill the jug up to the max mark with
water without vinegar or descaling agent
and bring to the boil.
