OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Open the lid and pour the water into the kettle (see the water level markings on the
outside of the kettle) and close the lid. Do not pour water into the kettle when it is
switched on. Boil water in the kettle a few times, before your regular use, to remove any
impurities left in the kettle after manufacture. CAUTION: If the kettle is overfilled, boiling
water may spray out. The maximum volume of the kettle is 1.7 litres, and must therefore
not be exceeded.
The kettle must never be switched on unless there is water in it, as this could cause
damage to the kettle beyond repair. If this should happen, it will switch off automatically.
If you do accidentally switch the kettle on without any water in it, pull the plug out and
leave it to cool for a couple of minutes. Make sure that you add sufficient water (at least
up to the MIN level) before switching the kettle back on again.
Make sure that the cable does not hang over the edge of the table or worktop where
children could grab it or pull it. Insert the plug into a socket. Make sure the lid is properly
closed. Switch on the kettle by pushing the switch below the handle down. The indicator
light will come on.
When the water is finished boiling, the kettle with switch off automatically after a few
seconds. The switch will click off and the indicator light will go out. The kettle can also be
switched off manually by pushing the switch down. Avoid contact with the hot steam
when the water is boiling and immediately after the kettle has been switched off. Do not
open the lid immediately after boiling. Always remove the plug from the socket when the
kettle is not in use.
CAUTION: Make sure that the kettle automatically switches off or switch it off manually
before pulling the plug out. IMPORTANT: Condensation can form on the bottom of the
kettle and on the lid –this is quite normal and perfectly safe.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.
•Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical
service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
•Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Ensure that the control is set to “0” or “Off”.
•It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after they have been used.
Wipe them with a warm cloth and dry well.
•The body of the appliance and the stand should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Do not let water enter the electrical parts of the appliance or the stand.
•Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your
appliance as it can be damaging to the finish.
•To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly
dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Dry with a clean, soft
cloth.
Descaling
The kettle should be cleaned regularly to remove scale. Particular attention should
also be paid to the following:
•Only boil as much water as you need. This reduces scale formation and
coffee and tea will taste better with fresh water.
•Brushing the heating element with a normal washing-up brush once a week
for example will slow the formation of scale on the heating element.
•In the event of visible signs of scale formation or at least once a month, the
kettle should be descaled. One indication that the kettle should be descaled
is that the heating time becomes longer or the kettle switches off too soon.
•Hard scale on the heating element should be removed with a solution of citric
acid crystals. It is very important that the user instructions for the citric acid
crystals are followed carefully, that the agent is poured out of the kettle after
the specified period of time and that the water from the first couple of uses
after descaling are discarded.
•Never switch off the kettle by pulling the plug out of the socket and never
touch the switch with wet hands.

6
•If after descaling a lot of scale remains on the heating element, the kettle
should be descaled again. Descaling should then be carried out more
frequently in future.
•The kettle can not be washed in a dishwasher.
•Do not use sharp objects when descaling/cleaning the heating element on the
bottom of the kettle.
Failure to remove the scale regularly could damage the kettle beyond repair.
Damage caused in this way is not covered by the guarantee.
