Do not let the power cord hang loosely over the edge of a table. Make sure the power cord does not touch hot surfaces.
The appliance may only be installed on a stable surface resistant to high temperature, away from other heat sources, such as radiators, ovens, etc. Protect it against direct sunlight and humidity.
Pour water into the kettle before connecting it to the wall outlet.
Do not replenish water when the appliance is on its base!
Prior to filling the appliance with water, make sure its bottom is dry. Wipe off any remaining droplets from the bottom prior to putting the appliance on its base!

Extra care should be taken while opening the lid when refilling the hot kettle with water.
Take precautions to avoid scalding with hot water while handling the kettle. Always hold the kettle by the handle, as the vessel can be hot and may burn you.
Pour the hot water slowly – excessive tilting may cause the water to flow through the lid – RISK OF SCALDING!

ACCESSORIES

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

Remove the kettle from the base (5), open the lid (1), and fill the appliance with cold water within the permitted maximum only (MAX marking on the cover of steam pipe inside the kettle). If the water level in the kettle is under the recommended minimum (0,3 l), 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
Place the kettle on the base (5); 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.
Connect the base to the mains.
Turn the kettle on by pressing the switch (4). A control light on the switch (2) 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!
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 (4) to the off position.
Remove the kettle from the base (5) and use the hot water.
If you want to reheat the water you have just finished boiling, wait for approximately 30 seconds before reactivating the switch (4).

Note:
It is not a sign of a defect when a small amount of water droplets appear on the kettle base (5). It is a small amount of condensed steam, which deactivates the kettle thermostat.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning!

Prior to each cleaning operation disconnect the lead-in cable of the appliance from el. socket!

Scale removal
During common use water impurities are deposited. Use commercially available agents for scale removal (observe manufacturer’s instructions).

Note:
Remove the deposits regularly, once a week as a rule – periodicity depends on water hardness and on frequency of kettle use. The deposits reduce efficiency and service life of the appliance materially.
Lack of maintenance can cause appliance seal or heating element damage. Defects caused by lack of maintenance are not covered by warranty.
