OPERATION, CLEANING, AND MAINTENANCE
Before using for the first time:
Before first use, remove possible manufacturing process residues by boiling 3 full kettles of water.

Release the button to open the lid.
Place the jug on the base, and insert the plug in the wall socket. Push down the on/off switch. The on/off pilot light will illuminate.

Remove the jug from the base by the handle, and pour the water out.
ATTENTION:
Be careful you do not contact the hot water. It can cause serious burning wounds
When you wish to heat the water without it coming to a boil you can switch off the jug kettle at any time you require.
Remove the plug from the wall socket when you have finished using the jug kettle.
Overheating safeguard:
The jug kettle is fitted with an overheating safeguard. This will switch off the jug kettle if it is operated without (sufficient) water. Allow the jug kettle to cool down for at least 10 minutes before using it again.

OPERATION, CLEANING, AND MAINTENANCE

Descaling:
If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it means descaling is required.
You can use standard descaling agents, provided that appropriate instructions are followed. Do not fill the kettle up to the top mark to prevent spillage, if the descaling agent causes water foaming.
To thoroughly remove any deposits after descaling, boil clean water several times, then rinse the kettle with clean water.
Cleaning:
Before cleaning, make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power source. Furthermore, it must cool down completely.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning agents.
Do not immerse the base or the kettle in any liquid. Use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the inside of the kettle.
It is recommended to regularly remove limescale deposits from the kettle.
Descaling:
Fill the kettle half-full with tap water and add lemon juice of one lemon.
Bring to a boil and wait 15 minutes. Bring to the boil again and wait further 15 minutes. Bring to the boil for the third time, empty the kettle and rinse well.
Boiling water in the kettle is accompanied by noise. This is normal during rapid heating of the liquid and does not constitute grounds for complaint.
