Important safety instructions
●Before the appliance is used, the main
body as well as any attachments fitted
should be checked thoroughly for any
defects. If the appliance, for instance, has
been dropped onto a hard surface, it
must no longer be used: even invisible
damage may have adverse effects on its
operational safety.
●The power cord should be regularly
examined for any signs of damage. In the
event of such damage being found, the
appliance must no longer be used.
●Do not operate the appliance if excessive
force has been used to pull the power
cord. Damage cannot always be detected
from the outside; the entire unit should
therefore be checked by a qualified
technician before it is used again.
●Caution: always ensure that the cups and
spoons are removed from the kettle
before use.
●This appliance is not intended for use by
any persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lacking experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
●Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
●Caution: keep any packaging materials
well away from children, as they are a
potential source of danger e.g. from
suffocation.
●Do not operate the appliance below a
hanging cupboard or similar object;
there is a risk that escaping steam may be
trapped underneath.
●Do not leave the kettle unattended
during operation. Use only pure water
and always observe the minimum and
maximum level marks on the inside
container when filling. Overfilling the
container is potentially dangerous with
boiling water being forced out. Also
beware of the danger of scalding from
steam being emitted. Therefore, do not
touch any part of the appliance except
the handle during use.
●The housing becomes hot during use.
●Caution: the lid must be kept closed at
all times, both during the boiling process
and when pouring out hot water.
●The appliance must be placed only on a
heat-resistant, level surface.
●Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to come into contact with open
flames or any hot surfaces such as hot-
plates.
●Do not let the power cord hang free, and
keep the cord well away from hot parts
of the housing.

Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without containing any water, or
if the heating element is calcified. Once the
safety cut-out has switched off the kettle, it
must be allowed to cool down sufficiently, or
must be descaled, before being switched on
again.
Before using for the first time
●To clean the kettle, boil and then discard
the first filling of water.
Boiling water
- Set the voltage selector to the correct
voltage.
- Open the water container lid and fill the
container with water to the desired level,
observing the minimum and maximum
marks on the inside of the container.
- Close the lid.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and use the On/Off switch to turn the
kettle on. The indicator lights come on.
- The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator lights
go out.
- To interrupt the boiling process, use the
On/Off switch to turn the kettle off.
- Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before pouring hot water.
- To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring.
- Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals. Any
warranty claim will be null and void if the
kettle malfunctions because of insufficient
descaling.
When descaling, a mixture of 0.3 litres of
water to two tablespoons of vinegar is
suitable.
- Pour the descaler in.
- Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
- Leave it to take effect for a short period.
- To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
●Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards

General cleaning and care
●Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
●To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the kettle in liquid and do not
clean it under running water.
●For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
●Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning
solutions or stiff brushes for cleaning.
- The cups and spoons may be cleaned in
warm soapy water.
Storage
To save space, the cups can be put inside
each other and then stored in the water
container, together with the spoons.
However, ensure first that the appliance has
completely cooled down.
Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
