Important safety instructions

∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the kettle and the base with water and do not immerse them in water. Do not clean under running water.

∙ This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

∙ Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age.

∙ The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

∙ The appliance may only be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

∙ Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.

∙ Caution: keep any packaging materials well away from children, as such materials are a potential source of danger e.g. from suffocation.

∙ Before the appliance is used, the main

unit as well as any attachment fi tted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

∙ The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.

∙ Do not operate the appliance if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualifi ed technician before it is used again.

∙ Do not leave the water kettle unattended during operation. Use only pure water when fi lling the container to the desired level, observing the Min. and Max. markings. Overfi lling the container may cause danger from boiling water being forced out.

∙ Also beware of the danger of scalding

from hot steam being emitted.

Therefore, do not touch any parts of the appliance except the handle during use.

∙ Caution! During the boiling process and when pouring out hot water, the lid must be kept closed at all times.

∙ The kettle may only be operated with the base provided with the appliance.

∙ Do not operate the appliance below a hanging cupboard or similar object; there is a risk that escaping steam may be trapped underneath.

∙ The appliance must be used only on a heat-resistant, level surface.

∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to come into contact with open fl ames or any hot surfaces such as hotplates.

∙ Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep the cord well away from hot parts of the housing.

∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket,

- in case of any malfunction,

- after use,

- during cleaning.

∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

∙ No responsibility is accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

∙ This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as

- in shops, offi ces and other similar working environments,

- in agricultural working environments,

- by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments,

- in bed-and breakfast type environments.

∙ In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments.

The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Thermal safety cut-out

The preset thermal safety cut-out protects the heating element from overheating should the appliance be erroneously switched on without any water, or if the heating element is calcifi ed. Once the safety cut-out has

9

switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled before it is switched on again.

Safety lid

The safety lid greatly reduces the risk of hot water escaping if the container is accidentally knocked over on the work surface. In the event of it falling from a certain height, however, it is possible hot water might escape from the lid. After any accident of this kind, be sure to check for any signs of damage. The appliance must always be supervised when in use.

Before using for the fi rst time

To clean the kettle, boil and discard the fi rst fi lling of water.

Boiling water

∙ Remove the water container from its base.

∙ Push the locking tabs together and remove the water container lid.

∙ Fill the container with water to the desired level, observing the Min. and Max. markings.

∙ Push the locking tabs together again and replace the lid, ensuring that it is properly fi tted.

∙ Place the container back on its base.

∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket and press the On/Off switch; the indicator light comes on.

∙ The boiling process begins. After reaching the boiling point, the appliance is automatically switched off by the integral steam cut-off device. The pilot light goes out.

∙ To interrupt the boiling process, set the

On/Off switch to its Off position.

10

∙ To pour hot water, remove the container from its base.

∙ To prevent hot steam from being emitted, ensure that the lid remains closed while pouring out the water.

∙ Remove the plug from the wall outlet after use.

∙ Do not leave any residual water in the container.

Power cord wind-up storage

The wind-up power cord storage under the base facilitates limiting the length of the power cord during use and makes it easy to store the appliance.

Descaling

Depending on the water quality in your area, lime deposits may build up inside the water container. It is advisable to remove any such deposits at regular intervals. Any warranty claim will be null and void if the kettle malfunctions because of insuffi cient

descaling. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water to two tablespoons of vinegar essence is suitable.

∙ Pour the descaler in.

∙ Switch the appliance on and let the solution reach boiling point.

∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.

∙ To clean the container after descaling, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

∙ Do not pour descalers down enamelcoated sinks.

General cleaning and care

∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the kettle and the base with water

and do not immerse them in water. Do not clean under running water.

∙ For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free cloth may be used.

∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions, and do not use hard brushes for cleaning.
