Safety instructions

• Read carefully the instructions for use before using your appliance for the first time and keep them: Tefal may not be held responsible for any incorrect use.
• Attention! Your appliance may be used in 120 Volts (100 to 127 V) or 240 Volts (220 to 240 V). Before using it, check that the voltage selected matches that of the system where you are. Any incorrect connection may cause irreversible damage to the kettle and invalidate the warranty.
• Only use your kettle to heat drinking water.
• Only plug in your kettle to a mains socket with an earth pin, or to an electrical extension with an earth pin. Check that the supply voltage indicated on the rating plate of the appliance matches that of the system. The use of multi-plug adapter is not recommended.
• Do not use the kettle if your hands are wet or if you have bare feet.
• Do not place the kettle on a hot surface such as a hob, or use it close to a naked flame.
• Unplug it from the mains socket immediately if you notice any anomalies during operation.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the appliance.
• Do not let the power cord dangle over the edge of a table or work top in order to avoid risks of the kettle falling.
• Be careful when the appliance is operating, especially to the steam from the spout which is very hot.
• Be careful also of the stainless steel body, which becomes very hot when the kettle is operating. Only touch the handle of the kettle.
• Do not touch the filter or the lid when the water is boiling.
• Do not move the kettle when it is operating.

• Our warranty does not cover kettles which no longer operate or operate incorrectly due to a lack of descaling.

• Protect the appliance from humidity and frost.

• If your appliance has been damaged, or if it is not operating correctly, or if the power cord or plug have been damaged: we recommend that you have the appliance examined. Except for the cleaning and descaling procedures described in the instructions for the appliance, all other work on the appliance must only be carried out by a TEFAL approved service centre.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use for long periods and when you are cleaning it.
• All of our appliances are subjected to strict quality checks. Operating checks are carried out randomly on appliances, which explains why certain appliances may appear to have been used.
• This appliance is not designed to be used by persons (including children) with impaired physical, sensorial or mental capacities or persons with no experience or knowledge, unless they are monitored or trained by a person responsible for their safety prior to any use of the appliance.
• Children should be watched to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Before first use

1 Remove all packaging, stickers and accessories from the inside and outside of the kettle.
2 Unwind the power cord completely (fig 1).
3 Set the voltage selector (6) (located under the base) (fig. 2).

Set the kettle to the same voltage as that of the system where you are using a coin, for example. If the voltage selected is 120 V, the kettle operates between 100 and 127 V. If 240 V is selected, the kettle operates between 220 and 240 V.

ATTENTION!

Check, if necessary, that you have an adapter which complies with the safety standards of the country.

Using the kettle

1 TO OPEN THE LID.

• Pull the lid in a vertical direction (fig. 3).
• To close it, press down on the lid.

2 PLACE THE KETTLE ON A SMOOTH, CLEAN AND COOL SURFACE.

- Your kettle must only be used with its own scale filter.

3 FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE REQUIRED QUANTITY OF WATER. (fig 4)

• You can fill the kettle by the spout, which helps to keep the filter in good condition. Otherwise, at least cover the heating coil (or the bottom of the kettle).
• Do not fill the kettle when it is plugged into the mains.
• Do not fill the kettle above the maximum level. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spill over the top.
• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed correctly before use.

4 PLUG INTO THE MAINS.

5 TO START THE KETTLE.

- Press the ON/OFF button at the top or the bottom of the handle, depending on the model. (fig 5)

6 THE KETTLE MAY LIGHT UP, DEPENDING ON MODEL.

7 THE KETTLE WILL STOP AUTOMATICALLY.

• As soon as the water boils, you can stop the kettle manually by pressing the ON/OFF button. Depending on the model, the light inside the kettle or the indicator light will be extinguished when the water boils. Check that the ON/OFF button is in the OFF position after the water has boiled and that the kettle is not operating before unplugging it.
• Do not use the water from the first two or three uses of the kettle, as it could contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.

8 STORAGE OF THE KETTLE.

• Empty the water from the kettle, and leave it to cool down before wiping it dry. Wind the power cord around the appliance and place it in the storage bag along with its cups and spoons.
• If necessary, the bag may be washed by hand.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the kettle

• Unplug it.
• Leave it to cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
• Do not immerse the kettle, the power cord or the plug in water: the electrical connections and switch must not be brought into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.

Cleaning the filter (depending on model)

(fig. 6)

- The removable filter is made of mesh which traps particles of scale and prevents them from dropping into your cup when the water is poured. This filter does not treat and does not eliminate scale in the water. It simply preserves all of the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter will become saturated very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is damp, pass it under running water, and if it is dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale may not come loose: descaling must then be carried out.

Descaling

- Descale the kettle regularly, preferably at least once a month, or more often if your water is very hard.

Descaling the kettle:

- use 8 % distilled vinegar that you can buy from most stores:

• fill the kettle with 20 cl of vinegar,
• leave it to act for 1 hour without heating.

- use citric acid:

• boil 1/4 l of water,

• add 12 g of citric acid and leave to act for 15 min.

• use a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer's instructions.

• Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times. Repeat the operation if necessary.

Descaling the filter (depending on model):

• Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
• Do not use other descaling methods than that recommended.

Troubleshooting

THE KETTLE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DAMAGED.

- The kettle will not operate, or stops before the water boils:

• Check that your kettle is plugged in correctly.
• The kettle has been used without water, or scale has accumulated, causing the dry operation safety system to be triggered: leave the kettle to cool down, and fill with water.

Switch on with the ON/OFF button: the kettle will start to operate after approximately 15 minutes.

• The water tastes of plastic:

Generally this happens when the kettle is new, throw away the water from the first few uses. If the problem continues, fill the kettle to the maximum level, and add two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Boil the water and throw it away. Rinse the kettle.

IF THE KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS, IF THE POWER CORD OR THE PLUG OF THE KETTLE ARE VISIBLY DAMAGED.

- Return your kettle to your Tefal After Sales Service Centre, do not have it repaired by anyone else. See the warranty conditions and the list of service centres in the booklet provided with your kettle. The type and serial number are indicated on the bottom of your kettle. This warranty only covers manufacturing defects and domestic use. Any breakage or damage resulting from failure to respect the instructions for use are not covered by the warranty.

Tefal reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components of its kettles at any time, in the consumer's interest.

• Do not use the kettle. Do not attempt to dismantle the appliance or the safety devices.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the After Sales service or a similarly qualified person so as to avoid danger.

Prevention of domestic accidents:

For children, even slight burns can sometimes be serious.

As your children grow older, teach them to be careful with hot liquids that may especially be found in kitchens. Keep the kettle and power cord at the back of the work top, out of the reach of children.

If an accident occurs, run cold water immediately on the burn and call a doctor if necessary.

- In order to avoid any accidents: do not carry your child or baby when drinking or carrying hot drinks.
