OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
The glass and stainless-steel surfaces become hot while boiling. Only touch the handle.
The lid must be tightly closed during the boiling process. It must not be opened while pouring
water out. Let the appliance cool down before opening the lid.
Do not fill the water container with less than 0.5L or more than 1.7 litres of water.
BEFORE FIRST USE
To ensure a long service-life of the kettle, proceed as follows before using it for the first time:
1. Fill the kettle with water and add vinegar in a ratio of 1:3 (1-part vinegar / 3 parts
water).
2. Bring to a boil, then pour out the mixture.
3. Allow the kettle to cool down and then refill with fresh water, boil the water and then
pour it out, again.

FILLING AND BOILING THE KETTLE
1. Pull open the lid using the grip on the lid.
2. Fill the kettle with the amount of water required.
3. Make use of the water level markings on the side of the glass to ensure the kettle
is filled with enough water.
4. Press the lid down firmly to close it. Make sure that the lid engages audibly and
perceptibly, otherwise steam will escape through the lid and the kettle may not
switch off when it reaches boiling point.
5. Fully unwind the power cord and run it through the cable guide channel.
6. Plug the mains cable into an earthed socket that is within easy reach.
7. Place the kettle on the base
8. Switch on the kettle at the power switch and the kettle will light up.

process by simply turning off the power switch.

simmering.

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 speed control is set to “0”.
•It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after they have been used. Wash
them in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.
•The body of the appliance and the stand should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do
not let water enter 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.

•Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or hold it under a running
tap to clean.
•To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in
soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse with fresh water thoroughly.
Descaling
To avoid the build-up or deposit of lime scale, it is importantly to regularly descale your
kettle. Lime scale can appear to be rust, yellow discolouration or white in colour. Regular
descaling saves electric energy and increases the service life of the kettle. For ecological
reasons, we recommend using a three-to-one solution of water and vinegar or water and
citric acid to descale the kettle. Let the solution soak in the kettle for about an hour and then
bring it to the boil. Thoroughly rinse out the kettle with fresh water.
STORING THE APPLIANCE
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and clean all the parts as instructed above.
Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.
•Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.
•Never store the appliance while it is still wet or dirty.
