Parts and controls

  1. Jug (with water level indicator)
  2. Lid with lock
  3. Button to open lid
  4. on off icon On/Off switch, illuminated
  5. Limescale filter (removable)
  6. Base
  7. Cord tidy

Important: The jug should only be used with the base supplied.

  • The kettle should only ever be filled with water. Milk or instant products will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate the kettle without water or overfill: observe the 0.3L and 1.7L (max) markings. If the kettle is too full, the water will boil over!

Before using for the first time

  • Remove any stickers or film.
  • Unwind the cord to the required length and plug in.
  • Fill the jug with water and bring to the boil twice to clean it thoroughly.
  • When the water comes to the boil for the first time, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Boiling water

  • Fill the jug with fresh water through the spout or the opened lid (press button to open lid).
  • Read the quantity off the water level indicator. Do not fill with less than 0.3 litres or more than 1.7 litres of water!
  • Press down on the lid to close and place the jug on the base.
  • Press down the switch and it will light up. The water is heated.
  • The kettle switches off automatically once the water has boiled.

The appliance can also be switched off at any time by moving up the on off icon On/Off switch.

Attention: If you lift the jug from the base and replace it before the water has boiled, the kettle will not continue heating.

Notes:

  • Only operate the kettle with the lid closed and the limescale filter inserted or the kettle will not switch off.
  • For reasons of physics, condensation may form on the base. This is normal, and the jug is not leaking.
  • After boiling, let the kettle cool down for 5 minutes before refilling.
  • Do not turn on the appliance if the jug is empty. Otherwise, the overheating protection will trip and the appliance will switch off automatically.

Cleaning and maintenance

danger icon Risk of electric shock!

Never immerse the appliance in water or place it in the dishwasher! Do not steam-clean the appliance.

  • Rinse the jug and limescale filter with clean water.

Descaling

Regular descaling:

  • prolongs the life of the appliance.
  • ensures that it functions properly.
  • avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled pouring if filter is covered with limescale.
  • saves energy. Descale the jug with vinegar or a commercially available descaling agent.
  • Fill the jug up to the 1.7L (max) mark with water without vinegar or descaling agent and bring to the boil.
  • Then add a small amount of white vinegar to the hot water and let the kettle stand for several hours. You can also use a descaling agent instead according to the manufacturer’s instructions (observe safety instructions).
    • Then rinse the jug and limescale filter with clean water.

Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale more frequently.
