INTRODUCTION
Thankyouforpurchasingourproduct.
In doing so, you have opted for an effective high-
performance appliance.
If the instructions on the correct use of this appliance
are not observed, the manufacturer shall assume no
responsibility for any resulting damage.
The operating instructions may refer to different
models:anydifferenceisclearlyidentied.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
Should you accidentally let the kettle operate without
water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch off
the display. This is a normal protection device and the
display will switch on in few minutes. If this occurs, allow
thekettletocooldownbeforellingwithcoldwater.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully wipe the outside of the appliance to remove
any dust that may have accumulated. Dry with a dry
cloth. Do not immerse the supply cord in water or other
liquids.Ifyou are usingthe kettle fortherst time, itis
recommended that you clean it before use by boiling a
fullkettleofwatertwiceanddiscardingthewater.
OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

openthelidbypressingthelidopeningbutton,ll
with the desired amount of water, and then close
thelid.Alternatively,thekettlemaybelledthrough
the spout. The water level should not exceed the
maximumlevelorsitbelowtheminlevel.Toolittle
waterwillcausethekettle toswitchoffbeforethe
water has boiled.
The maximum capacity of the kettle is 1.7L. Do
not add water over the maximum level, as it
may spill out of the spout when boiling. Ensure that
the lid is rmly in place before connecting the plug
into a power outlet.
2. Positionthekettleonthepowerbase.
3. Connect the plug into a power outlet.
4. Press the temperature setting button to set the
temperature to 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 or 100P.
in 100P mode, the kettle keeps on boiling the
water for 10 minutes, then stops. Use this function
to delete chlorine odor or sterilize water. The display will
alwaysshowthetemperatureofthewaterinsidethejug.
5. Press START/STOP button.
6. When the water has reached the selected
temperature, the kettle ring and automatically
switchtokeep-warmmodefor1hour.Tocancelthis

Automatic keep-warm function doesn’t work at
100°C.
After nish keeping warm, the LCD display will
indicate the actual water temperature and the
kettle will shut off automatically and enter into energy-
saving mode after being in stand-by mode for 5 minutes
when the actual water temperature decreases to less
than 45°C.
7. If the temperature cannot be set, this means that
the water in the kettle is hotter than the desired
temperature.Youcanturnoffthekettleatanytime
by pressing the cancel button.
The selected temperature can be changed at
any time while the kettle is heating up. While
the kettle is heating up, the current temperature
lights up.
Be careful when pouring the water from your
kettle as boiling water may cause scalds.
Open the lid carefully while the water in the kettle is
hot.
Below 45° C, the kettle automatically shuts
down and goes into “standby” mode.
If the container is removed and re-introduced before
the heating process is over, the settings stay active
for a few minutes.

deposits in tap water may form scale on the bottom
of the kettle and cause a less efcient operation. You
