① In older electrical installations, the building fuse (12A) may be triggered due to the high power consumption.

Safety information

To avoid potentially fatal injury through electric shock:

• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections does not come into contact with water! If it has unintentionally come into contact with water, first allow it to dry out completely before taking it into use.
• Only use the water boiler with the supplied base.

• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.

• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.
  Always remove the plug from the power socket after use. Simply switching the appliance off is not sufficient, as the appliance is under power for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.

To avoid burns and other injuries:

Always heat water with the lid closed, otherwise the automatic cut-out may not function. Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
- Hot steam clouds may be released. The boiler also becomes very hot during operation. Wear oven mitts.
- Ensure that the appliance is standing securely and vertically before switching it on. Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.
- This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Caution

Always and only use fresh tap water in the water boiler! Do NOT consume water that is not specifically designated as drinking water. If you do, there will be a risk of damage to your health!

Before taking the appliance into use, ensure that ...
- the appliance, the plug and the power cable are in good working order and...
- all packaging materials have been removed from the device.
- Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX marking and let it come to a full boil once - as described in the next section.
After it has boiled, pour this water away.
- Rinse the water boiler out with clear water.
- Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX marking on the scale ④ and then bring it to the boil. When done, pour this water away also.

The appliance is now ready for use.

Boiling water

Danger

Never place the electrical base 3 in close proximity to water - a potentially fatal risk!

① Notice

Always use fresh tap water. Do not consume any water that has already stood in the water boiler for longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has cooled down. Always pour old water away.

Microbes could have formed in it!

• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Open the lid by drawing the unlocking button ① to the rear and, at the same time, lifting the lid up.
• Hold the kettle upright while filling it. Only in this way can you correctly read the markings on the scale 4. Fill the kettle...
• at least to the MIN mark, so that the device does not overheat,
• no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling water spills out.
• First close the lid and then place the kettle onto the base ③, ensuring that it is firmly seated on the base ③.
• Now insert the plug into the mains power socket.
• Press the ON/OFF switch ② down until it engages downwards.
• The control lamps integrated into the scale ④ now indicates that the appliance is heating up.
• The appliance switches itself off, and the control lamps goes out as soon as the water is on the boil. The ON/OFF switch 2 is released upwards.

Warning

First remove the plug from the wall power socket before you lift the kettle from the base 3. This avoids the risk that any water splashing out could come into contact with live electrical connections in the base 3, which could cause a short circuit.

Injury hazard

For safety reasons, the lid should not be opened while the water is boiling or is very hot.

There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care

Danger

Do not open any part of the housing.

There are no user-servicable elements inside.

An open housing can create the risk of a lethal electrical shock.

Never submerge any parts of the appliance in water or other liquids! This can create the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual liquid comes into contact with powered components.

Risk of personal injuries

Before cleaning the appliance, remove the plug from the mains power socket and allow the appliance to cool down.

• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cord with a slightly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the appliance well before taking it back into use.
• For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.
• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or solvents. These can damage the appliance.

In the event of scale deposits:

• Before descending, remove the pourer sieve (see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer sieve").
• Obtain any decalcifying agent suitable for kitchen utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines) from a hardware shop. Proceed as detailed in the instructions provided for the use of the decalcifying agent.

Removing/replacing the pouring sieve

• Open the lid.
• Using the finger depression of the pourer-sieve 5, draw the pourer sieve 5 forwards and, at the same time, upwards.
• Remove the pourer sieve ⑤.
• Clean the pouring sieve ⑤ with a lightly moistened dishcloth and under running water.
• After cleaning it, replace the pourer sieve ⑤. Ensure that the clasp at the lower end of the pourer sieve ⑤ wraps itself around the peg in the water boiler. Press the pourer sieve ⑤ downwards until it is firmly seated.

① Notice

Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve 5 be firmly established, lay it in a water-vinegar solution having a ratio of 6:1 for a few hours. The scale deposits will dissolve themselves. Rinse the pourer sieve 5 with lots of clear water.

Storage

Allow the appliance to cool off completely before putting it into storage.

• Wind the power cable around the cable retainer on the underside of the base ③.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.
