Service and Customer Experience
• If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be repai-
red by De’Longhi or an authorised De’Longhi service agent.
• Please refer to the enclosed guarantee leaet for service
and assistance details.
Before use
• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
• Do not let children play with them to avoid suocation
hazard.
• Remove any labels from the outer stainless steel surfaces.
• Remove the lter (g. 1) and wash with water (g. 2). Refer
to“Removing the scale lter”.
• Fill the kettle to‘MAX’level and boil.
• The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed
out with cold water. Repeat the boil and rinse steps for at
least three times to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.
• After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-t the lter (g. 3).
Using the kettle
With the specially designed power base and central connector,
you can now set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any
position.
• Release the cord
from the storage
base and adjust the
length by winding
around the base
to give the correct
cord length to reach
the plug socket to
be used (g. 1).
• Do not leave loose
cord hanging over the edge of work surfaces.
Filling
• Remove the kettle from the base unit before lling.
• Remove the lid and ll the kettle to the desired level.
Do not ll with less than 0.3 litre of water (min level)
to prevent the kettle running dry while in use; misuse of
this kind will shorten the life of the element.
Do not ll with more than 1.7 litres of water (max.
level).
If the kettle is overlled, there is a risk that boiling
water may overow and cause burns.
• To close the lid, push it onto the kettle body until it clicks
rmly into place.
Use
1

5
• The water level indicator enables you to see the quantity of
water in the kettle.
Switching on
• Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place the kettle on the power base.
• Press the ON/OFF switch down to switch the kettle on.
• The power-on indicator lights will illuminate.
• The kettle will automatically switch o once the water is
boiled (the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the lights
will switch o ).
• To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may move
the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or simply lift the
kettle from its base - it will switch o and the switch will
return to the OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour
out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or pour water
out at too sharp an angle.
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moistu-
re on the top surface of the base. Condensation on the base
is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
Safety devices
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch
Your kettle is tted with an ON/OFF switch which automa-
tically switches o once the water has boiled. If the kettle
has just boiled, wait a minute or so before re-boiling the
kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/OFF switch in the“on”
position or adjust the switch mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it is
protected against damage by a safety cut-out device which
will switch o the power.
If this cut-out operates, disconnect the kettle from the
mains supply and leave to cool down before relling with
cold water (otherwise the element could be damaged). It
will reset automatically when cooled down.
3) If the kettle is lifted from the base while operating (ON), it
will automatically switch o.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the kettle
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
• Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the kettle
and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
• DO NOT use harsh scouring agents.
• Ensure that all electrical connectors and sockets are kept
dry.
Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless, naturally
occurring mineral found in most water supplies. “Hard” water
contains more of this mineral than“soft”water.
When the water is heated, the minerals in the water solidify,
making the water appear cloudy. These minerals form a thin lm
on the walls, element and on the surface of the water. The water
may look like it has white coloured pieces of plastic oating on
the surface. On traditional kettle elements, scale forms a hard
white “crust” which adversely aects performance and reduces
the life of the element. As soon as you notice a lm forming on
the water, or on the interior walls of the kettle, simply rinse the
kettle and wipe it out.
Scale lter
Your kettle is tted with a scale lter to prevent loose particles
of scale being poured into your beverage. This lter is both re-
movable and washable. The frequency with which you will need
to clean any scale deposits from your lter will depend on the
hardness of water in your area and how often you use the kettle.
You should remove and clean the water lter when you notice
any deposits being left on the lter or if the pouring eciency
is impaired.
Removing the scale lter
• Allow the kettle to cool down fully.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
• Make sure that your hands are clean and free from soap, etc
or anything which might taint the water.
• Empty the kettle
and remove the lid.
Remove the lter
by pushing down
the catch rmly,
then lift up from
inside the kettle
(g. 2).
• Rinse under a tap
while brushing

with a soft brush (g. 3).
• Replace the lter sliding it rmly down from the inside (g.
4).
To clean the kettle and the scale lter
It is vital to clean and descale regularly in order to maintain
good working order. Excessive scale build-up may aect the
performance of the product and shall be avoided.
• Use descaler for kettles (tip: use citric-acid based descaling
solutions). When limescale starts forming on the heating
element, buy a suitable descaler for kettles and descale
according to the instructions given on the descaler pack.
• After descaling, boil repeatedly with fresh water and rinse
thoroughly to completely eliminate all residues of descaler
which could damage the appliance. Repeat the boil and
rinse steps for at least three times.
• If the lter requires descaling, remove and immerse in the
same descaling solution.
• Make sure electric parts are completely dry before using the
kettle.
