Safety instructions
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► Ensure that the base with the electrical connections NEVER comes
into contact with water! Ensure that the base is completely dry
before use, especially if it has accidentally become wet.
► Use the kettle only with the supplied base.
► Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during
operation. Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise
damaged.
► To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or cables to be
replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Ser-
vice Department.
► After use, ALWAYS remove the plug from the mains power socket.
Switching the appliance off is not sufficient, because the appli-
ance is under power for as long as the plug is connected to the
power socket.
► Before use check the appliance for signs of visible external dam-
age. Do not put into operation an appliance that is damaged or
has been dropped.
► Repairs should only be carried out by authorized specialist
companies or by the Customer Service department. Incompetent
repairs can result in significant risks for the user. In addition war-
ranty claims become void.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids!
You could receive a fatal electric shock if residual liquids
come into contact with live components during operation.

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Heat water only with the lid closed, otherwise the automatic switch-
off cannot function. Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
► Hot steam clouds may be released. The kettle also becomes very
hot during use. It is always best to wear oven mitts when handling
the kettle.
► Ensure that the appliance is stood stably and vertically before
switching it on. Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.
► Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.
► This appliance may be used by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or
knowledge if they are supervised or, in regard to the safe use of
the appliance, have been instructed in its use and have under-
stood the potential risks.
► This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years or more if
they are supervised or, in regard to the safe use of the appliance,
have been instructed in its use and have understood the potential
risks. Cleaning and user maintenance tasks should not be carried
out by children unless they are aged 8 years or more and are su-
pervised. The device and its connecting cable must be kept away
from children younger than 8 years old.
► Children may not play with the appliance.
► Do not fill the kettle above the “maximum” mark! Otherwise boiling
water may spill out!
► Do not operate the appliance without the scale filter insert.

WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Do not use an external timing switch or a separate remote control
system to operate the appliance.
► Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst in use.
► Ensure that the appliance, the power cable and the plug do not
come into contact with hot plates or open flames.
Preparation
Unpacking
ƇRemove all components of the appliance and the operating manual from
the carton.
ƇRemove all packing material.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging protects the appliance against transport damage. The packaging
materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness
and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.
The recirculation of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw material and
reduces the amount of waste generated. Dispose of packaging material that is
no longer needed according to the regionally established regulations.
NOTICE
► If possible, preserve the appliance's original packaging during the warranty
period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can pack the appliance
ideally for its return.

Initial use
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Always and only use freshly drawn mains water in the kettle! Do not con-
sume any water that is not certified as potable. If you do, you are taking a
risk with your health!
Before starting the appliance up, make certain that ...
– the appliance, plug and power cable are in a serviceable condition
and ...
– all packaging materials have been removed from the appliance.
1) Open the lid by pressing on the release button .
2) Fill the appliance with water up to the “maximum” mark and let it come to a
full boil once – as described in the next section.
3) After it has boiled, pour this water away.
4) Rinse the kettle out with clear water.
5) Refill the appliance with water up to the “maximum” mark, and then bring it
to the boil. When done, pour this water away also.
6) Rinse the kettle out with clear water.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Boiling water
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► Never place the electrical base close to water – this would be a
potentially fatal risk!
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any water that has already
stood in the kettle for longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has cooled
down. Always pour old water away. Microbes could have formed in it!
NOTE
► Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the “0” position (off) when
the mains plug is unplugged and the appliance is standing on the base .
If not, the device could heat up unintendedly as soon as the mains plug is
plugged in again.

1) Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
2) Press the unlocking button and open the lid.
NOTE
► When filling it, hold the kettle upright. This is the only way to read the
markings on the scale correctly.
3) Fill the kettle...
– at least as far as the “minimum” mark, so that the appliance does not
overheat,
– no further than the “maximum” mark, so that boiling water cannot spill out.
4) First close the lid, then place the kettle on the base , so that it sits securely
on the base .
5) Now insert the plug into the mains power socket.
6) Push the ON/OFF switch downwards (position “I”) so that it engages.
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► For safety reasons you should not open the lid when the water is boiling or
extremely hot. There is a risk of scalding.
7) The light inside the scale shows that the appliance is now heating the water.
8) As soon as the water is boiling, the appliance will switch itself off, the
ON/OFF switch clicks upwards and the light goes out.
INFORMATION
► This appliance is fitted with an overheating protector: if the appliance is
switched on accidentally, without any water in the kettle, the appliance
automatically switches itself off.
If, for example due to a non-closed lid the appliance boils dry, the appliance
switches off automatically.
In such cases first allow the appliance to cool down before using it again.

Cleaning and Care
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► Before cleaning, ALWAYS remove the plug from the mains power socket!
There is the risk of receiving an electric shock!
► Do not open any part of the housing. There are no user-serviceable elements
inside. An open housing will create the risk of a potentially fatal electrical
shock.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! You could
receive a fatal electric shock if residual liquids come into contact with
live components during operation.
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Let the appliance cool sufficiently before cleaning it. Risk of Burns!
WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
► Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning materials. These could attack
the upper surfaces and irreparably damage the appliance.
■ Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable with a slightly damp cloth.
Be sure to dry the appliance well before taking it back into use. For stubborn
soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure that there are no detergent
residues in and on the appliance before it is taken back into use.
■ Rinse the inside of the kettle out with clean water.
■ If there are any deposits in the kettle, wipe out the inside surface with a moist
cloth, or use a washing up brush or bottle brush. Then rinse the kettle out
with clean water again.
In the event of scale deposits
Scale deposits on the bottom of the appliance lead to increased energy con-
sumption and reduce the service life of the appliance.
Descale the appliance as soon as scale deposits become apparent.
■ Use a descaler designed for household appliances (e.g. for coffee machines).
Proceed as detailed in the instructions provided for the use of the decalcifying
agent.
■ After descaling, rinse the appliance with lots of clean water.

Sicherheitshinweise
GEFAHR - ELEKTRISCHER SCHLAG!
► Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Sockel mit den elektrischen Anschlüs-
sen niemals mit Wasser in Berührung kommt! Lassen Sie den Sockel
erst vollständig trocknen, wenn er versehentlich feucht geworden ist.
► Verwenden Sie den Wasserkocher nur mit dem mitgelieferten
Sockel.
► Achten Sie darauf, dass im Betrieb das Netzkabel niemals nass
oder feucht wird. Führen Sie es so, dass es nicht eingeklemmt
oder anderweitig beschädigt werden kann.
► Lassen Sie beschädigte Netzstecker oder Netzkabel sofort von
autorisiertem Fachpersonal oder dem Kundenservice austauschen,
um Gefährdungen zu vermeiden.
► Ziehen Sie nach Gebrauch immer den Stecker aus der Steckdose.
Ausschalten alleine genügt nicht, weil noch immer Netzspannung
im Gerät anliegt, solange der Netzstecker in der Steckdose steckt.
► Kontrollieren Sie das Gerät vor der Verwendung auf äußere sichtbare
Schäden. Nehmen Sie ein beschädigtes oder heruntergefallenes Gerät
nicht in Betrieb.
► Lassen Sie Reparaturen am Gerät nur von autorisierten Fachbe-
trieben oder dem Kundenservice durchführen. Durch unsachge-
mäße Reparaturen können Gefahren für den Benutzer entstehen.
Zudem erlischt der Garantieanspruch.
Tauchen Sie das Gerät niemals in Wasser oder andere Flüs-
sigkeiten! Hier kann Lebensgefahr durch elektrischen Schlag
entstehen, wenn im Betrieb Flüssigkeitsreste auf spannungsführende
Teile gelangen.
