Parts and operating controls

Kettle (with water level indicator)
Lid
Lid opening button
On/Off switch, illuminated
Limescale filter (removable)
Base
Cable tidy

Important: Use  kettle 1 only with its  included base 6.

Only fill the kettle with water. Milk and instant beverages will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate  kettle 1 without water and do not overfill it; observe the min and max markings. If the kettle is too full, the water will boil over!

Before using it for the first time

Remove any stickers or film.
Unroll the right amount of cable from the cable tidy 7 and plug it in.
Fill the kettle 1 with water. Bring the water to a boil and discard it. Repeat the procedure. This will make sure that the kettle is clean for normal use.
When the water comes to a boil for the first time, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Boiling water

Fill  kettle 1 with fresh water, either through the spout or by pressing the opening button 3 to open  lid 2.
Read the quantity on the water level indicator. Do not fill with less than 0.3 liters or more than 1.7 liters of water!
Close the lid 2.
Press down  switch 4; the switch lights 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 pulling up  switch 4.
Warning: If you remove  kettle 1 from  the base and replace it before the heating  process is over, the kettle will not continue  to heat the water.
N.B.: Only operate the kettle with  lid 2 closed and the limescale filter 5 inserted, otherwise the kettle will not switch off. For physical reasons,  base 6 may collect some condensation water. This is normal; it does not mean that  kettle 1 leaks. After boiling, let the kettle cool down for 5 minutes before refilling it with water. Do not turn on the appliance if  kettle 1 is empty, otherwise, the overheat control will engage and the appliance will switch itself off automatically.

Cleaning and maintenance

Risk of electric shock!

Never immerse the device in water or place  it in the dishwasher!
Do not steamclean the appliance.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
Clean the outside of  kettle 1 and base 6 with a damp cloth. Do not use strong or abrasive cleaning agents.
Remove the limescale filter 5, soak it in a little vinegar, then rinse clean with clear water.
Rinse the kettle 1 and the limescale filter 5 with clear water.

Descaling Regular descaling

makes your kettle last longer;
ensures proper function;
saves energy.
Descale  kettle 1 with vinegar or a  commercial descaling agent.
Fill  kettle 1 with water up to the 1.7 mark and bring it to a boil. Next, add a small amount of white vinegar and let it sit for several hours. You can also use a commercial descaling product and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Rinse the kettle 1 and the limescale filter 5 with clear water.

Warning: Never use hard objects to  remove limescale residue as this will  damage the seal.
Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale  more frequently.

Troubleshooting

The appliance does not heat and   switches 4 does not light up.
The overheat control has tripped.

Let  kettle 1 cool down for some time so that the appliance can be switched on again.
The unit turns off before the water comes to  a boil.
The kettle contains too much scale.
Descale the kettle as per the instructions.
