Do not leave the kettle unattended during operation. Use only pure water when filling the container to the desired level, observing the Min. (0.5 l) and Max. (1.0 l) markings on the water level indicator. Overfilling the container may cause danger from boiling water being forced out.

The kettle may only be operated with the base provided with the appliance.
Never remove the water container from the base (or replace it) while the appliance is switched on.

The electrical connections in the base must be protected at all times against possible contact with water.
Caution: Any misuse of the appliance can cause severe personal injury.
Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – such materials are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.
Every time the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
The appliance must be used only on a heat-resistant, level surface.
Do not operate the appliance below a hanging cupboard or similar object; there is a risk that escaping steam may be trapped underneath.

This appliance is solely designed for heating clean, fresh water. Any other form of use must be considered improper and may lead to personal injuries or material damage.
It is not suitable for heating milk, tea, or other food or beverages. Thermal safety cut-out The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects the heating element from overheating should the appliance be erroneously switched on without any water, or if the heating plate 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 it is switched on again. Before using for the first time To clean the kettle, boil and discard the first filling of water.

Boiling water

Remove the water container from its base.
Press the lid-opener on the handle to open the lid, and fill the container with water to the desired level, observing the Min (0.5 l) and Max (1.0 l) markings.
Close the lid and place the container back on its base.
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and press the On/Off switch; the indicator light comes on.
The boiling process begins. After reaching the boiling point, the appliance is automatically switched off by the integral steam cut-off device; the indicator light goes out.

To prevent hot steam from being emitted, ensure that the lid remains closed while pouring out the water.
Remove the plug from the wall outlet after use (the red indicator light goes out).
Do not leave any residual water in the container. Power cord wind-up storage The wind-up power cord storage under the base facilitates limiting the length of the power cord during use and makes it easy to store the appliance.

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 appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
A mixture of 0.5 liters of water and 40 ml of vinegar essence 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 clean water.
During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapors.
Do not pour descalers down enamel coated sinks.

Scale filter

If necessary, the scale filter can be removed from the spout and cleaned with a soft brush.
Re-insert the filter afterward.
