WARNING!
There is a risk of scalding due to the hot surfaces and
the steam rising from the kettle.
Therefore, please follow the instructions below:
• When the water boils, hot steam will rise from the kettle. Do

the kettle has been switched off. Ensure that nobody touches
the interior of the water container. There is a risk of burns!
The device has a dry boil shut-off function (if the kettle has been
accidentally switched on without water, it will not overheat).
Nevertheless, ensure that you switch off the device after use.
4.3. Setting up
• Place the device on a heat-resistant, sturdy, level surface.

• Avoid the use of extension cables in order to prevent tripping.
• Never place the device on the edge of a table – it could tip
over and fall.
• Do not set up the device over a hotplate or other heat-gener-
ating devices (grill, deep fat fryer); this applies even if an ex-
traction fan is installed above it.
• Never set up the device near to a sink.
• Leave a little space between this device and other devices or
the wall to allow the air to circulate freely. Do not cover the
device during operation.
4.4. Mains connection
• Only connect the device to a properly installed 220 - 240 V ~
50/60 Hz domestic mains socket that is located close to the
place where you have set up the device. The socket outlet
must be freely accessible so that you can unplug the device
from the mains quickly if necessary.
• Ensure that the mains cable has been completely unwound
during operation.
• Remove the plug from the mains socket after each use, before
cleaning and during periods when the appliance is left unat-
tended.
• Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
• Disconnect the mains cable when the device is not being
used, during cleaning or if a fault occurs.

6. Initial operation and use
Before you use the device for the first time, please proceed as follows:
Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240V ~ 50/60Hz domes-
tic mains socket.
In order to remove any possible residue from the manufacturing process, fill the
device once with water up to the maximum filling level ("MAX" mark), boil the
water and then pour it away before using the device for the first time.
6.1. Operating the kettle
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNING!
Do not overfill the kettle because otherwise boiling
water could spray out.
Do not open the lid of the kettle while the water is
boiling.
To boil water, proceed as follows:
Open the lid by pressing on the lid opener.
Add the desired volume of water to the water container. Add at least enough
water to reach the "MIN" mark on the gauge. Do not exceed the maximum fill-
ing level marked with "MAX" on the gauge.
Place the water container onto the base plate so that it clicks firmly into place.
Close the lid again.
Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240V ~ 50/60Hz domes-
tic mains socket.
Switch on the kettle by setting the On/Off switch to position 1.
Wait until the water boils. The device will automatically switch off once the boil-
ing point has been reached. However, you can also switch off the device before
this point by setting the On/Off switch to position 0.
As soon as the kettle is removed from the base plate, the device will automatical-
ly switch itself off.
NOTE
The LED ring lights up in blue during operation.
Unplug the mains power supply.

7. Cleaning and descaling
Pull the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down com-
pletely.
You can clean the exterior of the water container using a damp cloth. The interi-
or of the device only requires rinsing with clean water.
CAUTION! RISK OF BURNING!
Do not operate the device without the filter inserted
because otherwise boiling water could spray out.
Do not clean the base plate. Never use hard objects on the base
plate and do not immerse it in water.
7.1. Descaling
In order to prolong the product service life and to keep the boiling time as short as
possible, the kettle must be regularly descaled (approx. once a week). We recom-
mend an environmentally friendly descaling process using vinegar or citric acid:
Vinegar
Add a dose of vinegar (ratio of 1:3) to half a litre of water.
Leave the liquid to work in the device for approx. 1 hour; do not boil the liquid.
Empty the water container and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
Citric acid
Boil half a litre of water.
Add approx. 25g of citric acid. Leave the liquid to work for approx. 15 minutes.
Empty the water container and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
If you want to use a commercial descaler (chemical product), observe the instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer of the product.
