zDo not carry out any modifications to the appliance or its power cable. Only have
repairs carried out by a professional workshop, as devices that have not been properly
repaired can be hazardous to the user. Also pay attention to the enclosed guarantee
conditions.
zDo not use an extension cord. If the power cable of this appliance should be damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or customer service in
order to avoid hazards.
zThe appliance must not be connected to a time switch, a dimmer switch or any other
remote control system.
Burning/scalding and fire hazard
zThe kettle becomes hot during use. Burn hazard! Only hold the handle.

Burn hazard!
Injury hazards from other causes
zDo not allow the power cable to hang over the edge of the table top or work surface.
You could become caught on it or children could pull the appliance down with it.
Caution – property damage
zOnly use the supplied base.
zPlace the appliance on a sturdy, level surface. When doing so, make sure the appliance
is not located near sources of heat e.g. hot plates, heating pipes etc. The power cable
must lie securely in the cable recess of the base, so that the based stands securely.
zPosition the appliance so that hot water vapour will be ventilated away from other
objects. Do not position the kettle beneath a hanging cabinet or shelf and turn the
spout away from sensitive surfaces or wallpaper. Also maintain a distance to easily
flammable materials, e.g. curtain or table cloth.

zThere are feet on the underside of the base. As the furniture/floor surfaces are made
of diverse materials and are treated with diverse care products, it cannot be entirely
ruled out that some of these materials contain components, which could attack and
soften the appliance feet. If necessary, place a non-slip underlay under the base.
zDo not clean the kettle with hard, scratching or abrasive detergents, steel wool, or
similar.
As soon as the mains plug is inserted into a socket and the kettle is placed on the
base, the appliance consumes a small amount of electricity, even if you are not
boiling water. Pull out the mains plug in order to completely disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.

Keeping water warm
The kettle has a keep-warm function.
zWith a temperature of 40, 60, 80 or 100 °C, you can keep the water warm for approx.
30 minutes. Afterwards, the kettle switches off automatically; two signal tones will
sound and all LEDs will extinguish.
zIf you have set a keep-warm temperature of 100 °C, the water will be kept warm within
a range of 90-100 °C, in order to avoid excess steam generation.
zIf you have set a keep-warm temperature of 40, 60 or 80 °C, the kettle will keep the
temperature approx. 8 °C below/above the set temperature.
Please note:
zOnly use the keep-warm function if a minimum of 0.5 litres of water are in the kettle.
Otherwise, the small amount of water could boil away during the next 30 minutes and
the dry-run protection (see page 11) will switch the appliance off.
zIf you cannot set a temperature, it is probably because the water temperature in the
kettle is still higher than the desired temperature.
zYou can stop the boiling procedure at any time by pressing the on/off button or the
KEEP WARM button
zAs soon as you lift the kettle off of the base, the appliance will switch off and all settings

4. Rinse the sieve under running water or clean it using a damp cloth.
5. Reinsert the sieve into its holder in front of the spout. Ensure that it locks in securely.
If the sieve is already very calcified, place it into a mixture of water and vinegar (6:1
ratio) for a few hours. Afterwards, rinse the sieve with plenty of clear water.
Descaling
You should descale the kettle on a regular basis, as a very calcified kettle requires more
electricity. How often the appliance needs descaling will depend on the hardness of the
water used and frequency of use.
zWith normal use, you should descale the kettle every 3 months with soft water and 1x
per month with hard water.
zYou should descale the appliance regularly to avoid thick calcification forming on the
heating element in the kettle.
You can obtain information about the water hardness in your area from the local
water authority.
For descaling, you can use commercially available descaler (pay attention to manufacturer
instructions) or mix household vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio.
1. Fill the kettle with descaling liquid and boil it.
2. Afterwards, leave the liquid to take effect, for approx. half an hour.
3. Where thick calcification is present: Boil the descaling liquid a second time.
Then, pour it away.
4. Refill the kettle with fresh water, boil the water and also pour it away.
Afterwards, you can use the kettle as usual.
