PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1. Lid
2. Kettle body
3. Watermark
4. Button to open the lid
5. Handle
6. Switch with power indicator
7. Supply cable base

CAUTION
Prior to first use, we recommend boiling the maximum volume of water in the kettle at least 3 times, then pouring it out. The kettle is then ready for operation. The kettle may only be used with the supplied base.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the kettle from the base (7), press the button for opening the lid (4), open the lid (1), and fill the appliance with cold water within the permitted maximum only. If the water level in the kettle is under the recommended minimum, the kettle will keep overheating and turning off prematurely.
   Note: Make sure that the lid (1) is closed properly, otherwise the kettle can not turn off automatically

2. Place the kettle on the base (7); electric contacts will get connected automatically. Thanks to the central connector design, the kettle can turn around 360° and be put on the base from any side.

3. Connect the base to the mains.

4. Turn the kettle on by pressing the switch (6).
   A control light on the switch (6) signals the kettle is in operation. The kettle lid (1) must be properly closed when water is being heated.
   WARNING! Do not open the lid during heating or immediately after heating is completed. Hot steam could scald you!

5. After the boiling point has been reached, the kettle will turn off automatically, and the operating light will go out. Water heating can be terminated prematurely by moving the switch (6) to the off position.

6. Remove the kettle from the base (7) and use the hot water.

7. If you want to reheat the water you have just finished boiling, wait for approximately 30 seconds before reactivating the switch (6).

8. The kettle filter captures all potential impurities while pouring water.

Note: It is not a sign of a defect when a small number of water droplets appear on the kettle base (7). It is a small amount of condensed steam, which deactivates the kettle thermostat.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning!
Always disconnect the power supply cable from the main outlet before cleaning the appliance.
Make sure the appliance has cooled down before handling it.
Only use a wet cloth for cleaning the surface; never use detergents or hard objects, as they may damage it.
Never clean the unit under running water; do not rinse it or submerge in water.
Limescale removal Impurities from water build-up during normal use. These sediments can be removed perfectly from the kettle using preparations designed for removing limescale (observe the producer’s instructions) or using the following procedure:

1. Pour 0.5 liter of vinegar into the kettle and top up with water. Leave the solution in the kettle overnight. Do not boil!
2. Pour out the contents, and clean the remaining sediment using a wet cloth. Fill the kettle with clean water, boil it and pour it out again. Repeat the procedure once more. The kettle is then ready for continuous operation.

Note: Remove the sediment inside the kettle regularly, about once a week, depending on the water hardness and frequency of use. Deposits reduce the heating effect and the service life of the kettle considerably.
