Important information for your
safety
Please observe the following
instructions to avoid the hazard
of electrical shock:
• Please ensure that the base and its
electrical connections never get in
contact with water. If the base should
unintentionally get moist, let it dry
out completely.
• Use the water cooker only with the
provided base.
• Please ensure that the power cable
never gets wet or moist in use.
• Never allow it to get pinched or
otherwise damaged.
• Should the power cable or the plug
get damaged, have the customer
service replace it before you use the
kettle again.
• Always pull the plug out of the socket
after use. It is not sufficient to switch
it off because the kettle is still on as
long as the plug is in the socket.
Please observe the following
instructions to avoid the hazard
fire or injury:
• Always heat the water with the
lid closed, because the automatic
switch-off mechanism will not
function otherwise and boiling
water may spill over the edge.
• The kettle is very hot when in use
and hot clouds of steam may escape.
Therefore, always wear oven gloves.
• Make sure that the kettle is set up
vertically in a stable position before
you switch it on. Boiling water can
make a kettle fall over if it is not set
up in a stable position.
• Never leave a kettle unattended that
is generating heat.
• Do not allow children or infirm per-
sons to handle it without supervision
because they may not always be able
to correctly assess potential hazards.

Using the kettle
Before you use the kettle, satisfy
yourself that...
– the kettle, plug and power cable are
in good working order...
– and all packaging material has been
removed from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with water to the MAX
mark and let it come to a boil once as
described in the next number. Then
pour off this water.
Boiling water
Danger: Never place the electrical
base near water – life-threatening
danger!
Only boil as much water as you need.
This saves electricity, water and time.
• Remove the can to fill it.
• Open the lid by pressing the release
button.
• Hold the can vertically when filling it
to ensure that the level display on the
side properly indicates the water level.
Fill the can...
– at least to the level of 0.5 L to ensure
that the kettle does not overheat,
– no more than to the MAX mark to
ensure that boiling water does not
spill over.
• Close the lid...
• and place the can on the base until it
is set on its base completely straight.
• Now put the plug into the socket...
• and press the ON/OFF switch down-
ward until it locks into place.
• A lamp in the level display indicates
that the kettle is now heating up.
• The kettle switches it self off when
the water is boiling properly. The
ON/OFF switch pops out again and
the lamp goes out.
• In order to interrupt heating, push
the ON/OFF switch up again (the
lamp also goes out in this case).
Warning: Please pull the plug out
of the socket before you lift the can
from the base. This prevents water
from spilling onto the electrical con-
nections in the base and causing a
short-circuit.
For safety reasons and to avoid injuries
do not open the lid when the water is
boiling or very hot.
Cleaning and Care
Danger: Never open any of the
device parts. No operating elements
are located inside the device. An open
housing can create the risk of a life-
threatening electrical shock. Never sub-
merse any parts of the device in water
or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if
residual liquid comes into contact with
powered components.
Before cleaning the kettle, ....
• pull the plug out of the socket and
let the kettle cool off.
• Clean all exterior surfaces and the
power cable with a slightly moist
rinsing cloth. Dry the kettle off
every time before using it again.

• Do not use any detergents, scouring
agents or solvents. They may damage
the components of the kettle.
To clean the inside of the water cooker,
the lid must be removed.
• To do this, move the left fastening

goods shop that is suited for food
containers (such as a coffee machine
decalcifier).
• Use a suitable decalcifier for the
exterior aluminium surfaces.

• Remove the lid and ...
• just pull the spout sieve upwards.
