5 TO START THE KETTLE.
• Press the ON/OFF button at the top or the bottom of the handle, depending

on the model. (fig 5)
6 THE KETTLE MAY LIGHT UP, DEPENDING ON MODEL.
7 THE KETTLE WILL STOP AUTOMATICALLY.
• As soon as the water boils, you can stop the kettle manually by pressing the
ON/OFF button. Depending on the model, the light inside the kettle or the
indicator light will be extinguished when the water boils. Check that the
ON/OFF button is in the OFF position after the water has boiled and that
the kettle is not operating before unplugging it.
• Do not use the water from the first two or three uses of the kettle, as it could
contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.
8 STORAGE OF THE KETTLE.
• Empty the water from the kettle, and leave it to cool down before wiping it
dry. Wind the power cord around the appliance and place it in the storage
bag along with its cups and spoons.
• If necessary, the bag may be washed by hand.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the kettle
• Unplug it.
• Leave it to cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Do not immerse the kettle, the power cord or the plug in water: the electrical
connections and switch must not be brought into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
• The removable filter is made of mesh which traps particles of scale and
prevents them from dropping into your cup when the water is poured. This
filter does not treat and does not eliminate scale in the water. It simply
preserves all of the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter
will become saturated very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean

it regularly. If it is damp, pass it under running water, and if it is dry, then
brush it gently. Sometimes the scale may not come loose: descaling must
then be carried out.
Descaling
• Descale the kettle regularly, preferably at least once a month, or more often
if your water is very hard.
Descaling the kettle:
• use 8% distilled vinegar that you can buy from most stores:
- fill the kettle with 20 cl of vinegar,
- leave it to act for 1 hour without heating.
• use citric acid:
- boil 1/4 l of water,
- add 12 g of citric acid and leave to act for 15 min.
• use a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat the operation if necessary.
• Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
• Do not use other descaling methods than that recommended.
Troubleshooting
THE KETTLE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DAMAGED.
• The kettle will not operate, or stops before the water boils:
- Check that your kettle is plugged in correctly.
- The kettle has been used without water, or scale has accumulated, causing
the dry operation safety system to be triggered: leave the kettle to cool
down, and fill with water.
Switch on with the ON/OFF button: the kettle will start to operate after
approximately 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally this happens when the kettle is new, throw away the water from
the first few uses. If the problem continues, fill the kettle to the maximum
level, and add two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Boil the water and
throw it away. Rinse the kettle.
