Ensure that the power supply in your home corresponds to that on the model plate on the base of the applianc.
Connect the base unit to a power source. Unused cable can be stored in the base of the appliance .
All kettles have been tested during production to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may be remaining water deposits. Clean the appliance before use by boiling the maximum amount of water twice.

Usage of the electric kettle

The LEDs light up briefly to indicate that the appliance is ready for use. The LED on the 100° button then lights up continuously as the default setting. If no buttons are pressed for 2 minutes, the appliance switches to “stand by” mode and the LED goes off. To turn the appliance on again, press one of the temperature selection buttons .
Note: The blue tank light is only switched on during the heating process.
Open the lid by pressing the button . Lid is not removable.
Fill in needed amount of water. The water amount is readable on the water level scale on right and left side of the handle .
Do not fill the kettle beyond the maximum capacity (Capacit max. 1,7 l).
Do not put kettle into operation without water.
Fill it at least to the “Min.” marking.
After filling close lid by pressing it downwards .
Place kettle on the base.
The appliance has 3 preset temperature levels for different uses:
100°:boiling water
95°: particularly suitable for making coffee manually (“pour over”)
80° e.g. to make green tea.
Tip: Select the temperature setting 80° or 95° for uses that do not require boiling water. This saves energy. Select the required temperature by briefly pressing the relevant temperature button .
Note: the blue tank light only comes on during the heating process.
Start the heating process 7.1 Without warm-keeping feature After selecting the temperature , press the on/off button to start the heating process. The water tank LED will light up and the LED on the selected temperature button will start flashing. When the required temperature is reached, both the light in the water tank and the LED on the temperature button will turn off. This indicates that the heating process is complete.
Note: After starting the heating process both with and without the warm- keeping feature, the temperature can be changed as required and the warm- keeping feature can be switched on or off whenever you like.
7.2 Including warm-keeping feature The appliance is equipped with a warm- keeping feature which you can select at 95° or 80°. After selecting the temperature , press the warmkeeping button instead of the on/off button. The water tank LED and the the warm-keeping button LED light up and the LED on the selected temperature button starts flashing. When the heating process is complete, the appliance switches to the warm-keeping feature and keeps the water at the selected temperature for 30 minutes. Both the LED on the warm- keeping button and the LED on the selected temperature button are illuminated continuously during this time. After the warmkeeping period has elapsed, all LEDs go off. Attention: The warm-keeping feature cannot be combined with the 100° temperature button. This prevents the water from boiling dry (see point “boil-dry protection”).
The heating process or the warm-keeping feature can be stopped manually at any time. To do this, either press the on/off button , the warmkeeping button or lift the appliance off the base unit. The appliance will not switch on again when you return it to the base unit.

Dry boil protection

The heater is equipped with an overheating protector. Should you switch on the appliance accidentally without water or if water is completely exhaled (e.g. if lid is not closed) the dry boil protection switches off automatically. In this case leave appliance to cool down before use it again.

Lime filter
The lime filter in spout area keeps back lime particles while pouring. For cleaning the lime filter: pull it upwards out of the kettle .

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning always remove plug from socket!

Cleaning
Use a soft damp cloth and washing-up liquid to clean the exterior. Clean appliance and cord never under flowing water or immerse in water. Do not use acrid or abrasive detergents.

Descaling
Lime disposal in appliance is not avoidable. Only regularly descaling ensures perfect operation of your electric kettle. Please descale as soon as a visible lime coating has built up on the warming plate of the kettle. We recommend Melitta® Anti Calc products such as Melitta® “Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines” for descaling. However, you can also use any other commercially available product. Use the descaler following the instructions of the supplier of the descaler on the package.

Important:
Execute necessarily 2-3 boiling cycles after descaling to clean the appliance.
