BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle.
• Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under the base. Wedge the cord into the notch.(fig. 1)

• PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
  Your kettle must be used with the base specific to this product.

• 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. (fig. 4)

• POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE SOCKET.

• TO START THE KETTLE. Press the on/off button at the bottom of the handle. The on/off button will light up. (fig. 5)

• AS SOON AS THE WATER REACHES BOILING POINT, THE KETTLE WILL TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. The light will turn off when the on/off switch returns to the upper position after boiling.

• You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. Adjust the on/off button (located at the bottom of the handle) upwards. (fig. 6)

• Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.

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

To de-scale your kettle.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

• The kettle does not work or stops before coming to a boil:
• 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any rubber or plastic bits inside or in water contact?

Unit has a plastic hinged cover and a stainless steel interior. The top of the lid is joined to the SS body. I don’t see how water will interact with the plastic lid, but steam will come into contact with it. Long-lasting and excellent unit.

Does the keep warm feature on this kettle work?

NO, once the water boils and shuts off, the Krups BW260850 doesn’t keep warming it in any way. Simply put, it is well insulated. (Amazon may combine customer reviews and question-and-answer sessions for related products. There might be a keep warm feature on some of those.)

Can I choose my own temperature goal? 130, for instance?

You are unable to control the temperature. All you have to do is pull a lever until the water boils!.

Does it include a filter?

No. It only boils water. We filled it with clean water.

Is there plastic inside the lid?

The KRUPS Smart Temp Digital Kettle’s inside and lid are both composed of seamless quality stainless steel.

Is it 110 or 220 volts?

110, but I’m using 100v for this.

Does the kettle have to remain with the display sticker on it?

This is not covered in the kettle’s accompanying instructions. However, these light up behind the sticker when you click the button to choose the temperature and “hold” features. Therefore, the sticker is not necessary for the display of the temperature. It would have to be taken off carefully to avoid scratching the wonderfully smooth black surface.

How long is the power cord at the base?

32 inches are the whole length from plug to base. If excessively lengthy, it may wrap extra around the interior of the base.

Can you cover this with milk?

Wouldn’t since it is completely dark and you cannot see the milk or the water within. Before it reaches temperature, it may scorch on the bottom.

Are there constant lights on the display?

No. When you lift and set the kettle back on its base or when you click one of the buttons on top of the handle, they light up.
