Electrical Connection
1. Check whether the mains voltage that you want to use,
corresponds with that of the appliance. You will find the
information about it on the rating plate.
2. Only connect the appliance to a properly installed safety
socket.
Switching the Appliance On / Off
• Switching on: Press the toggle switch downwards. The
lighting in both the water tank and the switch is on.
• Switching off: Press the toggle switch upwards. The
lighting in both the water tank and the switch goes out.
Preparation
Before using for the first time, boil fresh water at least three
times in the appliance. Use only water without any additives
or ingredients.
Operation
NOTE:
• Always use fresh, cold water.

ter. The lid is equipped with a self-closing filler opening.
The flap opens automatically at water pressure.
1. Place the appliance on a flat surface.
2. Close the appliance with the lid. It must audibly click into
place.
WARNING:
• Always turn the appliance off before cleaning it and remove the
mains plug. Wait until the appliance has cooled down.
• Never immerse the appliance or the base in water or other liq-
uids. This may result in electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any wire brush or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents.
• Use a nylon brush to clean the filter insert at the spout
opening.

in both the water tank and the switch is on.
Ending / Terminating Operation
There are two options to interrupt the boiling process or to
terminate it:
• The appliance will switch off after the boiling process.
The lighting in both the water tank and the switch goes
out.
• Push the toggle switch upwards to finish operation.
CAUTION:
• Always shut off the appliance before removing it from
the base! Also ensure that it is turned off when you set
it back onto the base!
• The contacts on the base are not suitable for discon-
necting the power supply.
WARNING: Risk of Burns!
• When pouring the water out, keep the lid closed.
• During operation the housing becomes hot. Do not
touch it and allow the appliance to cool down before
storing it away.
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Emptying the water container.
Cleaning
• The frequency of the decalcifying operation depends
on the hardness of the water and on how often the
appliance is used.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it
probably needs to be decalcified.
• Please do not use vinegar but a commercially available
decalcification agent on the basis of citric acid. Only use
the quantities stated in the instructions.
