of the housing.
∙ Take special care when you carry the
container with hot water in.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket,

Intended use
∙ This appliance is solely designed
for heating clean, fresh water. Any
other form of use must be considered
improper and may lead to personal
injuries or material damage.
∙ It is not suitable for heating milk, tea or
other food or beverages.
Thermal safety cut-out
The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without any water, or if the
heating plate is calcified. Once the safety
cut-out has switched off the kettle, it must
be allowed to cool down sufficiently, or
must be descaled before it is switched on
again.
Before using for the first time
To clean the kettle, boil and discard the first
filling of water.
Boiling water
∙ Remove the water container from its
base.
∙ Press the lid-opener on the handle to
open the lid, and fill the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min (0.5 l) and Max (1.0 l) markings.
∙ Close the lid and place the container
back on its base.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall
socket and press the On/Off switch; the
indicator light comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After
reaching the 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, set the
On/Off switch to its Off position.
∙ To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
∙ To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring out the water.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall outlet
after use (the red indicator light goes
out).
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy
to store the appliance.
