BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

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) Throw away the water from the first two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.

USE

TO OPEN THE LID
– Automatic opening lid: press the button at the top of the handle. (fig 2)
To close the lid, press it down firmly.
PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
• Your kettle must only be used with the base that matches it and its own anti-scale filter.

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.
POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.
TO START THE KETTLE
Press the on/off button positioned on the bottom of the handle. (fig 4)

THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
as soon as the water reaches boiling point. You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. The indicator light will go out when the water reaches boiling point. 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.

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 or any other liquid: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water or any other liquid.

Do not use scouring pads.

DE-SCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:

Using white vinegar:
– Fill the kettle with ½ l of vinegar,
– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
– Boil ½ l of water,
– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
Using a de-scaler specifically for kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
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 or stops before coming to the 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.
The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boiling’s. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
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
