Thermal safety cut-out
∙ The fixed temperature control protects
the heater from overheating if the
appliance is switched on accidentally
with no water in, or if too much limescale
has accumulated.
∙ Once the temperature control has
switched off, the kettle must be left to
cool down completely.
∙ Then press the RESET button on the
base of the appliance. The appliance is
ready for operation again.
∙ If necessary, descale the appliance first,
before operating it again.
Before using for the first time
For reasons of hygiene, boil and then
discard the first two fillings of water from
the new kettle.
Boiling water
∙ Set the voltage selector to the correct
voltage.
∙ O pen the water container lid and fill the
container with water to the desired level,
observing the minimum and maximum
level marks.
∙ Close the lid.
∙ Plug in the mains power plug and turn
on the kettle using the on/off switch. The
indicator light comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator light
goes out.
∙ To interrupt the boiling process, use the
On/Off switch to turn the kettle off.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before pouring hot water.
∙ To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring.
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
∙ If the kettle is operated several times in
a row without time to cool down, it may
cause a few drops of water to appear,
due to condensation forming below the
water container. This is safe and does
not constitute a defect.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals.
Any warranty claim will be null and void
if the kettle malfunctions because of
insufficient descaling.
When descaling, a mixture of 0.3 litres
of water to two tablespoons of vinegar is
suitable.
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
