– Use the electric kettle with the stand designed for this type only and only
for its intended purpose.
– Prevent injuries when handling (e.g. by hot water, steam).
– The appliance is equipped with the heat safety lock which disconnects power
supply if the steam sensor fails, if water boils away or if an empty kettle
is turned on. If it happens, unplug the appliance from power supply and let
it cool down. Do not fill the kettle with cold water in order to cool it down
quickly. It could reduce life of the heating element.
– Use this appliance only for the purpose for which it was designed as
specified in this user‘s manual. Never use the appliance for any other
purpose.
– The producer is not responsible for damage caused by improper use of the
appliance (e.g. burning, scalding, fire) and its guarantee for the appliance

with.
USE OF THE APPLIANCE:
– Use the electric kettle with the stand designed for this type only.
– Never immerse the electric kettle and the stand in water and other liquids
(even partially)!
– Never leave the appliance unsupervised and check it during the whole time of
water heating!
– This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
– The appliance is intended for home use and similar (in shops, offices and
similar workplaces, in hotels, motels and other residential environments, in
facilities providing accommodation with breakfast). It is not intended for

– Use the appliance in the working position only at places with no risk of
turning over and in sufficient distance from heat sources (e.g. heater,
stove, cooker, oven, grill), flammable objects (e.g. curtains, drapes, etc.)
and wet surfaces (e.g. sinks, wash basins, etc.).

after cooking!
– Before switching on the kettle ensure that the water level is between MIN
and MAX marks
– If you are not going to use the electric kettle for longer time, we
recommend unplugging the stand from power supply by taking the fork of the
power cord out of the socket.
POWER CORD:
– If the power cord of the appliance is corrupted, it has to be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service technician or a similarly qualified person so
as to prevent dangerous situations.
– Never use the appliance if its power cord or plug is damaged, if it does
not work properly, if it fell down and was damaged or if it fell to water. In
this case take the appliance to a special service to check its safety and
proper function.
– Never put the power cord on hot surfaces or do not let it hang over the
edge of a table or a work top. Plugging or pulling the power cord e.g. by
children can result in tilting over or drawing the appliance down and serious
injury!
– The power cord must not be damaged with sharp or hot objects, open fire, it
must not be sunk into water or bent over sharp edges.
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

A2 – control light
A3 – water gauge
A4 – handle| A5 – lid
A6 – lid lock button
A7 – filtration sieve
---|---

* The steam sensor ensures automatic switch off the appliance after reaching the boiling point.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before the first use, fill the electric kettle with clean water to the maximum
level, turn it on and let the water boil. Then pour out the water and repeat
the procedure several times (at least five times).
APPLICATIONS
Open the lid A5 by pressing the lock button A6. Fill the kettle with drinking
water. Close the lid by snapping. Put the electric kettle on the stand and
turn it to the I position by the A1 button. Function of the electric kettle
is signaled with the control light A2. After boiling the appliance switches
off automatically. Before reaching the boiling point, you can switch off the
appliance by turning the A1 button to the 0 position.
ATTENTION
– When heating water, the lid must be closed, otherwise the kettle will not
turn OFF.
– In bigger tilting of the electric kettle backwards, particularly when it is
filled up to maximum, water can flow out from the electric kettle in the
bottom part of the kettle. This does not affect safety or other functions and
it does not mean any failure of the electric kettle. In the case of tilting
the electric kettle with hot water there is a risk of scalding. Therefore do
not tilt the electric kettle.
– Recommendation: When the kettle is not used, do not place it on the stand
connected to the mains. If you are going not to use the kettle for a long
time, unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
– If the kettle was removed from the stand during boiling, remains in ON
position.
This means that if you put it back on the stand, it will immediately continue
in heating.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord
out of the socket! Clean the kettle only when it is cooled down! Do not use
rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, scrapers, diluting agents
or other solvents)! The casing of the electric kettle and the heating bottom
is made of top-quality stainless steel, but in common use, impurities from
water get stuck on them (water scale), particularly above the heating
element. It is not rust or another material defect of the kettle container
and the appliance is not subject to a complaint for this reason.
Cleaning the sieve (A7)
Take the sieve from the kettle. Clean it from possible sediments in running
water using a fine brush. Then put the sieve back in the opposite way.
Cleaning the kettle
In the hard water area, it is important to do the decalcification regularly to
keep the kettle in good working condition, because too much scale inside may
cause the kettle fail to work. For the best performance of your kettle,
decalcify the unit from time to time. The frequency depends on the hardness
of your tap water and how many times you have used the kettle. Decalcification
will clean the interior of the unit.
This may be done in the following manner:
Put about 50 g of citric acid into the kettle with limescale sediment. Fill
the kettle half with water and stir. After dissolving, fill it up to ¾ of
maximum amount of water. Place the kettle on the stand and turn on. Turn off
the kettle before reaching boiling point, let the solution work for 10
minutes and then pour it out. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with clean water. In
case of very thick sediments, you can repeat the process. Clean the kettle
regularly!
