• Place the appliance in a way that makes the connections easily accessible, so that they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
• The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
  • even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant to high temperatures;
  • sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no problems;
  • easily accessible;
  • well ventilated.
• Maintain sufficient clearance from table edges. The appliance might turn over and fall.
• Position the appliance so that water does not get into the plug.
• Leave at least 10 cm clearance from flammable walls and items.

Power supply connection

• Verify if the technical data of the appliance (see rating plate) corresponds with the local electric power grid specification.
• Connect the appliance to a single, properly grounded mains socket with protective contact. Do not connect the appliance to a multi-socket.
• The power cord should be laid in a way that prevents anyone from threading on it or tripping against it.

Operation

WARNING Risk of scalding!

• Do not touch the hot appliance.

Risk of scalding!

• 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 volume!

1. Before use, clean the appliance observing instructions in section 6.2 ‘Cleaning’.

2. Open the appliance cover by pressing the lock and lifting the lid.
3. Pour the required amount of freshwater into the appliance (only up to the ‘MAX’ mark).
   • The water level in the water tank may be read from the fill level indicator.
   • ATTENTION! Never use the appliance without water. Consider the minimum required amount for boiling (‘MIN’ marking).
4. Place the appliance on the base.
5. Plug the appliance into a suitable single socket.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch to the I position.
   • The operation indicator light is on as long as the kettle is operating.
   • The appliance needs approx. 4 minutes to boil water and when it reaches boiling point, it switches off automatically.
   • The switch-off is signalled with a click sound.
   • The heating-up process may be interrupted manually, by pressing the ON/OFF switch to the ‘O’ position.
7. As needed, pour the boiled or warm water from the water tank through the spout into a cup/mug/glass. In the spout, there is the limescale filter that may be removed and cleaned, if needed.

• Remove the appliance from the base.
• Wait for the appliance to cool down.
• Top up with fresh water after cooling down.
• Switch the appliance on 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 or corrosive cleaning agents. They may damage the surface.

Cleaning

1. Clean the appliance daily.
2. Rinse the water tank inside thoroughly with clean water.
3. Wipe the exterior of the water tank and the base with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Using the ‘click’ system, take out the limescale filter.
5. Wash the limescale filter with water and reinstall the appliance.
6. After cleaning, dry the water tank, lid and base 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 outlined in the instruction manual, may constitute a ground for rejecting warranty claims. Such claims are not covered by the warranty! Describe 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 several times.
6. To completely remove the descaling solution, pour some clean water through the spout, too.
