IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that stated on the rating label of the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the base, cord, plug, or the jug kettle in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not drape the cord over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
To disconnect, put the switch in the off position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use appliances for other than intended use.
Scalding may occur if the lid of the jug kettle is removed during the heating cycles.
Make sure the appliance never comes into contact with inflammable materials such as curtains, or textiles …, or when it is in use as they might catch fire.
When removing mineral deposits, only use special products formulated for the removal of mineral deposits (decalcifying solutions). Never use ammonia or any other substance that might damage your health.
Do NOT use abrasive cleaners to clean the inside or outside of the kettle, to avoid permanent damage to the surface.
Ensure that the kettle is properly positioned on the power base before switching on.
Do NOT refill with water while the appliance is switched on.
Remove the kettle from the power base before filling or pouring. If the base becomes wet, unplug the kettle from the power outlet and switch it off. After it has become dry, you may replace the kettle on the base, after ensuring that the kettle is switched off.
Use the kettle only with the power base supplied and vice versa.
Use on a hard, flat-level surface only.
Do not place the base of your kettle in a metal tray. If water spills over into the tray, and a build-up occurs, it could become dangerous to touch.
If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected.
Extreme caution must be used when handling or moving the kettle and pouring from the kettle containing boiling water.
Before pouring, wait until the kettle has stopped boiling, and then pour steadily. If the kettle is tipped too much, the lid may fall off or open.
Make sure that the lid and the filter are correctly and securely fitted before switching on the appliance. Failure to do so will cause the kettle not to switch off, and boiling water might eject through the spout causing scalding or injuries.
When pouring a large quantity of hot water, pour slowly and do not incline the kettle past the horizontal line to avoid burns and injuries.
When you are done using the appliance, switch it off and unplug the power cord from the wall socket.
WARNING: a cordless kettle must never be filled on its base.
NEVER use the appliance to boil anything other than water.
NEVER use near a flame or hot surface.
NEVER put any part of the hand or body near the appliance when switched on. Steam is invisible and will cause scalding or injury.
NEVER use the appliance if it has been dropped on the floor or damaged in any way.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

3-PRONG PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazards, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3 prong, grounding type, wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong, wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PARTS DESCRIPTION

See pages 2-3.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

For the perfect taste, operate the Kalorik retro electric kettle with fresh water to the MAX mark in order to clean any residue left from the manufacturing process. When the appliance has cooled down, repeat the process 3 times with fresh water, before rinsing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Always remove the kettle from the power base before filling it or before any operation.
Open the lid by pulling the lid handle out and fill the tank with water, paying attention not to fill under the minimum mark or above the maximum mark indicated on the water gauge of the kettle.
Note: do not use hot water to fill the kettle. Use only cold or room temperature water.
Close the lid by placing it back on and pressing down until it you hear a click. Make sure it closes correctly.
Make sure the spout filter is well in position, as else the auto-shutoff feature might not work.
Put the kettle onto the power base, plug it into the wall socket, and turn the kettle on. To switch on, place the On/Off switch to the “I” position (switch down). The power On indicator light will illuminate.
Do not open the lid while the water is heating or boiling.
When the water has boiled, the kettle will switch to Stand-by-Mode. If required, the water can be boiled again by changing the On/Off switch to the “I” position (switch down). The power-on indicator light will illuminate again and the water will re-boil.
The kettle may be switched to Stand-by-Mode at any time by switching the On/Off switch to the Off position (switch up).
IMPORTANT: Place the power switch into the Off position and remove the plug from the outlet when the kettle is not in use.

CAUTION: Make sure that the lid is closed, and the filter is correctly and securely fitted before switching on the appliance. Failure to do so will cause the kettle not to switch off!

For instant re-boiling, wait until the water has cooled down and switch on the appliance again.
The kettle will not re-boil until the kettle is switched on again.
The kettle may be stored on the power base when not in use.
Always disconnect the power supply when not in use.
When pouring a large quantity of hot water, pour slowly and do not incline the kettle past the horizontal line to avoid burns and injuries.

SAFETY CUT-OUT

This cordless water kettle is protected with an automatic safety device if accidentally switched on without water in the kettle.
If this happens, switch off the appliance by putting the switch in the OFF position and wait about 10 minutes for the element to cool. Then pour in enough cold water to cover the element. This will reset the safety device.
The kettle may then be used as normal.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before attempting any cleaning operation, make sure the appliance is switched off, unplugged from the supply socket, and fully cooled down.
To clean the exterior surfaces, simply wipe them over with a soft, damp cloth and dry them thoroughly.
Never use abrasive products, powders, or scouring pads.
Under no circumstances shall the jug kettle or its power base be immersed in water.
To remove mineral deposits from the water kettle, use products (decalcifying solutions) made especially available for this purpose. Make sure to use a type recommended for kettles or coffee makers. Follow the guidelines as recommended by the manufacturer of the de-calcifying solution. Rinse well.

FILTER

Your appliance is provided with a mesh filter. This filter is factory preinstalled before the spout.
The filter is placed in front of the spout and should be rinsed clean regularly.
The filter can be removed by lifting it out of the guides.
Use a soft brush and gently brush away the deposits of the filter.
Replace it by sliding it back into the guides.
Please clean the filter on a regular basis, to avoid the mineral deposits.
