Parts and controls

Jug (with water level indicator)
Lid with lock
Button to open lid
O On/Off switch, illuminated
Limescale filter (removable)
Base
Cord tidy

Important: The jug should only be used with the base supplied.

The kettle should only ever be filled with water. Milk or instant products will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate the kettle without water or overfill: observe the 0.3L and 1.7L (max) markings. If the kettle is too full, the water will boil over!

Before using it for the first time

Remove any stickers or film.
Unwind the cord to the required length and plug in.
Fill the jug with water and bring to a boil twice to clean it thoroughly.
When the water comes to a boil for the first time, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

Boiling water

Fill the jug with fresh water through the spout or the opened lid (press the button to open lid).
Read the quantity off the water level indicator. Do not fill with less than 0.3 liters or more than 1.7 liters of water!
Press down on the lid to close and place the jug on the base.
Press down the switch and it will light up. The water is heated.
The kettle switches off automatically once the water has boiled.

The appliance can also be switched off at any time by moving up the O On/Off switch.
Attention: If you lift the jug from the base and replace it before the water has boiled, the kettle will not continue heating.

Notes:

Only operate the kettle with the lid closed and the limescale filter inserted or the kettle will not switch off.
For reasons of physics, condensation may form on the base. This is normal, and the jug is not leaking.
After boiling, let the kettle cool down for 5 minutes before refilling.
Do not turn on the appliance if the jug is empty. Otherwise, the overheating protection will trip and the appliance will switch off automatically.

Cleaning and maintenance

Risk of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or place it in the dishwasher!
Do not steam-clean the appliance.

Pull out the mains plug.
The jug and base should only be wiped down on the outside with a damp cloth.
Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.
Remove the limescale filter and place in a little vinegar with clean water.
Rinse the jug and limescale filter with clean water.

Descaling

Regular descaling:

prolongs the life of the appliance.
ensures that it functions properly.
avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled pouring if the filter is covered with limescale.
saves energy. Descale the jug with vinegar or a commercially available descaling agent.
Fill the jug up to the 1.7L (max) mark with water without vinegar or descaling agent and bring to a boil.
Then add a small amount of white vinegar to the hot water and let the kettle stand for several hours. You can also use a descaling agent instead according to the manufacturer’s instructions (observe safety instructions).
Then rinse the jug and limescale filter with clean water.
Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale more frequently.

Troubleshooting

The appliance does not heat, and the O On/Off switch does not light up.

The overheating protection has tripped.
Let the kettle cool down for a while so that the appliance can be switched on again.
The appliance switches off before the boiling process ends.
The build-up of limescale in the appliance.
