The previously selected temperature is stored in memory.
Button to start the boil cycle

Keep warm is activated by a long press on (The ‘Keep Warm’ pictogram lights up).

Keep warm function remains on for 30 minutes.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle.
2. Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under the base. Wedge the cord into the notch. (fig 1)
   Throw away the water from the two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle.

1. TO OPEN THE LID
––Press on the locking system and the lid lifts automatically. (fig 2)
To close, press down firmly on the lid.

2. PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM
WATER SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
Kettle is only to be used with the base provided.

3. FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (fig 3)
Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full,
boiling water may spill out.

• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed properly before use.

4. POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.

5. TO START THE KETTLE
When the kettle is placed on the base, all the lights illuminate. The water temperature in the
kettle is displayed on-screen.
TO HEAT WATER:
2 options:

• If you wish to start a boil cycle, press the button
  100°C appears directly on the screen, the kettle bips and starts heating the water.
  The kettle bips twice once water temperature reaches 100°C.

• If you wish to select the temperature – 5 possible settings: 40°C – 70°C – 80°C – 90°C –
  100°C – press the key until it displays the temperature you wish to select. The selected
  temperature blinks twice, then stays still. The kettle bips and the kettle starts heating the
  water.

You can monitor the live temperature of the water on the screen.
Once the selected temperature is reached, the kettle bips twice and stops heating.

KEEP WARM MODE
You can use the keep warm mode to keep the water at a selected temperature during 30 minutes.
Once the temperature has been selected, a long push on will activate the keep warm mode.
The logo appears at the top of the screen.
You can also start the keep warm mode once the temperature has been reached. Do a long push on the key. The logo will appear at the top of the screen.
If you wish to turn off the keep warm mode, just press the key.

PLEASE NOTE
The long push will activate the keep warm only if you push the button less than 25 seconds after the end of the boiling cycle, otherwise the screen will switch off.

PLEASE NOTE
The screen automatically switches off after 25 seconds – unless you have selected the keep warm mode – but pressing any key will turn the screen on again anytime.
If you select 100°C and activate the keep warm function, the kettle keeps the temperature to 95°C during 30mn.
If the temperature of the water in the kettle is higher than the temperature you select when pressing , the heating won’t start.
For instance, if the water temperature is 90°C, you won’t be able to launch the heating by selecting 40°C, 70°C or 80°C

Recommended temperatures:
70°C : white tea
80-85°C : green tea
90°C : freshly ground coffee
95°C : black tea
100°C : boiling water/infusions

6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.

• Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting, and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves, fannings and dust).

– Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas are subtle- flavoured, often bitter, and very pale in colour.
– Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste and a superb coppery colour.
– Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes. Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.

Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and then lemon (with green or flavoured teas).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

• Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.

**CLEANING THE FILTER***
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling.

DE-SCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.

To de-scale your kettle:

• Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores: – Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,
  – Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

• Using citric acid:
  – Boil ½ litre of water,
  – Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.

• Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
  To de-scale your filter*
  Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

• Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

• The kettle does not work
  – Check that your kettle is properly connected.
  – The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
  Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
  IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE
  Return your kettle to your After-Sales Service Centre, only they are authorised to carry out repairs. See the guarantee conditions and list of centres in the booklet supplied with your kettle. The type and serial number are shown on the bottom of your kettle. This guarantee covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only. Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions for use is not covered by the guarantee.

• The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time in the interests of the consumer.

• Do not use the kettle if damaged. No attempt must be made to dismantle the kettle or its safety devices.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service centre or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children.

If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.

• In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Your appliance contains many recoverable or recyclable materials.

Take it to a local, civic waste collection point.

The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires that all used household appliances are not disposed of along with ordinary household waste. Used appliances must be collected separately in order to maximise recovery and recycling of their constituent parts and thus reduce their impact on health and the environment.
