In the event of a problem
• Check:
. the connection.
. that the kettle is correctly positioned on its
base.
. that the switch is in the "on" position by
pressing "I".
. that the lid is locked in the "lock" position
and that the protective cover is blocking off
the spout
. that the kettle has not been used without
water. In this case:

• If your appliance only works intermittently or
stops before reaching boiling point it may be
due to a build up of scale please refer to De-
scaling.

contact a KRUPS approved service centre (see
list in the "KRUPS Service" booklet).

spout when the water is coming to the boil,
and avoid any contact with the hot surfaces
of the appliance.
