Children should be kept away from the appliance and the mains cable.

Setting up

• Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, sturdy and level surface.
• Only operate this appliance with the supplied base plate.
• Avoid the use of extension cables in order to prevent tripping.
• Never place the appliance on the edge of a table – it could tip over and fall.
• Do not set up the appliance over a hotplate or other heat-generating appliances (grill, deep fat fryer); this applies even if an extraction fan is installed above it.
• Do not use the appliance in a damp environment or near to a sink or if your hands or the outer parts of the appliance are wet.

- Leave a little space between this appliance and other appliances or the wall to allow the air to circulate freely. Do not cover the appliance during operation.

Mains connection

- Only connect the appliance to a properly installed 230 V\~ 50 Hz safety plug socket that is located close to the place where you have set up the appliance. The socket outlet must be freely accessible so that you can unplug the appliance from the mains quickly if necessary.

- Never connect the appliance to a power inverter or similar power devices that deliver a modified sine wave! This can lead to serious damage on the appliance.

- Only connect the appliance if the supply voltage corresponds to the information given on the appliance rating plate.

- Ensure that the mains cable has been completely unwound during operation.

Handling the appliance safely

Live components. There is a risk of electric shock.

- Never immerse any part of the appliance in liquids!

- Do not use the appliance outdoors.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.
• Do not use the appliance under any circumstances when there is visible damage to the appliance, the mains cable or the plug.

NOTICE!

Property damage due to improper use.

- Do not boil any liquid other than clean water. The appliance could be irrevocably damaged.

- Do not boil any remaining water in the kettle a second time.

- Always remove any remaining water in order to avoid the formation of limescale or algae.

Caution due to heat generation

CAUTION!

There is a risk of scalding due to the hot surfaces and the steam rising from the kettle.

- When the water boils, hot steam will rise from the kettle. Do not reach into or over the steam.

- Do not fill the appliance above the max. mark and do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

- The housing of the appliance will become hot during operation. Therefore, only touch the appliance during operation on the handle provided for this purpose.

- The heating element remains hot for a long time even after the kettle has been switched off. Ensure that nobody touches the interior of the kettle body.

- The appliance has a “boil dry” shut-off function (if the kettle has been accidentally switched on without water, it will not overheat). Nevertheless, ensure that you switch off the appliance after use. If the “boil dry” function has activated, you will need to leave the kettle to cool before it can be operated again.

Faults

WARNING!

Live components. There is a risk of electric shock.

- If the plug, mains cable or appliance is damaged, immediately remove the plug from the power supply.

- To avoid risks, never try to open and/or repair the appliance yourself. In the event of a fault, contact our Service Centre or another suitable professional repair workshop.

- If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service department or other suitably qualified person. This is to avoid hazards.

Initial operation and use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please proceed as follows:

- Connect the mains cable from the base plate 6 to a 230 V 50 Hz mains socket.

- In order to remove any possible residue from the manufacturing process, fi ll the appliance once with water up to the maximum fi lling level ("MAX" mark), boil the water and then pour it away before using the appliance for the fi rst time.

Operating the caravan kettle

CAUTION!

Risk of injury through burning.

• Do not overfill the kettle because otherwise boiling water could spray out.
• Do not open the lid 1 of the kettle while the water is boiling.
• Do not operate the appliance without the filter inserted 7 as this could damage the appliance!

To boil water, proceed as follows:

1. Open the lid 1 by pressing on the lid opener 2.

2. Add the desired volume of water to the kettle. Add at least enough water to reach the "MIN" mark on the gauge. Do not exceed the maximum filling level marked with "MAX" 4 on the gauge.

3. Place the kettle body onto the base plate 6 so that it clicks firmly into place.

4. Close the lid 1 again.

5. Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 230 V \~ 50 Hz mains socket.

6. Switch on the kettle by setting the On/Off switch

5 to position 1.

The water level gauge lights up blue.

1. Wait until the water boils. The appliance will automatically switch off once the boiling point has been reached. However, you can also switch off the appliance before this point by setting the On/Off switch to position 0.

2. As soon as the kettle is removed from the base plate, the appliance will automatically switch itself off.

3. Unplug the mains power supply.

Cleaning and descaling

CAUTION!

Risk of injury through burning.

• Empty the kettle before cleaning.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

! DANGER!

Risk of injury from electric shock/short circuit.

- Pull the plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down completely.

- Do not clean the base plate. Never use hard objects on the base plate and do not immerse it in water.

- You can clean the exterior of the kettle body using a damp cloth. The interior of the appliance only requires rinsing with clean water.

- Rinse the removable filter in the spout 7 by hand.

- To do this, reach into the spout from the outside and press the locking mechanism and then carefully push the filter into the kettle to remove it.

- When inserting the filter again, ensure that the lower retaining lug is sitting on the guide rail.

Descaling

In order to prolong the appliance's service life and to keep boiling times short, the caravan kettle must be regularly descaled. We recommend an environmentally friendly descaling process using vinegar or citric acid:

1. Add a dose of vinegar (ratio of 1:3) or citric acid (2 heaped tablespoons to 1 litre of water) to the water.
2. Allow the liquid to stand in the appliance for approx. 1 hour.
3. Now boil the liquid in the kettle.
4. Then rinse the kettle thoroughly with clean water.
5. If you want to use a commercial descaler (chemical product), observe the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the product.

Disposal

Disposal of packaging

Sort packaging before disposal. Dispose of card and cardboard with waste paper and dispose of film with recyclable materials.

Disposal of old appliances

(Applicable in the European Union and other European states with systems for separate collection of recyclable materials)

Do not dispose of old appliances in normal household waste!

If the kettle can no longer be used, the consumer is obliged by law to dispose of the old appliance separately from household waste, e.g. at a local authority/district collection point. This guarantees that old appliances are recycled correctly and avoids negative effects on the environment. For this reason, electrical appliances are marked with the above symbol.
