Do not touch the hot appliance.
Risk of burns!
Hot steam coming out when the lid is opened may cause scalding of hands, arms and face.
Never open the lid when the appliance is operating.
Overfilling may lead to hot water leaks and scalding!
Observe the maximum filling capacity

1. Before use, clean the appliance, observing instructions in section 6.2 “Cleaning”.
   NOTE: Prior to switching the appliance on, make sure that the water tank is filled with a potable liquid. Do not fill the appliance with any non-potable liquids, like acids, lyes, oils, nitrates, etc.!

2. Pour required amount of fresh water into the appliance (only up to “MAX” mark). Pay attention to the fill level of the water tank; never use the appliance without water.

3. Close the lid.

4. Press the ON/OFF switch down.
   The indicator light is on as long as the kettle is operating. Additionally, the bottom is backlit in blue during operation. When the water is boiled, the indicator light switches off and the appliance stops operation.

5. After operation, leave the water remaining in the appliance to cool down and then pour it trough the spout into a water container.

Dry-Run Protection
The appliance is equipped with dry-run protection. In case of accidental start-up without water or with its insufficient amount, the protection will be activated and the appliance will be automatically switched off. Switch the appliance off and leave it to cool down. When cooled, fill the tank with fresh water and start using the appliance as usual.

Cleaning

Safety Instructions for Cleaning

• Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Leave the appliance to cool down completely.
• Make sure water does not enter the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids during cleaning. Do not clean the appliance with a pressurized water jet.
• Do not use any sharp or pointed, nor metal implements (knife, fork, etc.). Sharp or pointed implements may damage the appliance, and when in contact with live parts, they may cause electric shock.
• For cleaning, do not use any scouring agents that contain solvents nor corrosive cleaning agents. They may damage the surface.

Cleaning

1. Clean the appliance daily.
2. Pull the base mains plug out prior to cleaning.
3. Rinse the water tank inside thoroughly with clean water.

5. Using the ‘click’ system, take out the limescale filter.
6. Wash the limescale filter with water and reinstall in the appliance.
7. Finally, dry the appliance and the lid thoroughly.

Descaling

Inappropriate water may lead to limescale deposits building up. Limescale deposits result in longer heating time and might cause damage to the appliance.
NOTE: To avoid limescale deposits, it is recommended to use filtered water!
CAUTION! Lack of regular descaling of the appliance, as set forth in the instruction manual, may constitute a ground for rejecting warranty claims. Such claims are not covered by the warranty! Descale the appliance regularly!
We recommend our Bartscher descaling agent — liquid (art. No. 173075) or granulate (art. No. 190065).

1. Fill the water tank with fresh water, add the descaling agent and boil the solution. Observer our indications on the descaling agent packaging.
2. Pour part of the solution through the spout to remove limescale deposits in the spout.
3. Leave the appliance to cool off for some time.
4. Remove the descaling solution after the procedure is finished.
5. Use clean water to rinse the kettle thoroughly for a number of times.
6. To completely remove the descaling solution, pour some clean water through the spout, too.
