Thank you for buying a Tefal kettle. Read the following instructions carefully, common to all our models, and keep them in a safe place.

Use

1

Open the lid: while pressing on the locking system (depending on model), pull from the front towards the rear. Toclose, press the lid down firmly.

2

Remove all packaging, stickers or other accessories from the inside and outside of the kettle.

3

Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under the base. Wedge the cord in the slot.

4

Place the base on a smooth surface which is clean and cool.

- Only boil water in the kettle

Place the kettle and its base towards the back of the working surface.

- D o not place the kettle on or near surfaces which are slippery or hot and do not let the cord hang over a source of heat (hot plates, gas cookers). Keep away from children - The kettle must only be used with its original base.

5

Fill the kettle with the required amount of water.

6

Place the kettle on its base. Connect to the mains.

7

Turn it on using the switch or the trigger handle. The kettle will turn itself off automatically when the water is boiling.

8

Check that the kettle has stopped automatically or turn it off manually before removing it from the base to pour the water.

You can fill the kettle through the spout to keep the filter in good condition.

At the very least, cover the heating element (or the bottom of the kettle) with water.

• Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
• Do not fill it above the max. level or below the min. level. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may escape.
• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed properly to avoid steam near the handle.

Check that the electrical supply is compatible with the power and voltage indicated beneath your model.

• Only plug the kettle into a socket with a built-in earth connection.
• Never lift the lid whilst the water is boiling.

The first two or three times that you use the kettle, throw the water away because it may contain foreign particles.

Rinse the kettle and filter separately.

We recommend that you do not leave any water in the kettle after use

To clean your kettle

Unplug it.

Leave it to cool and then clean with a soft damp sponge.

Certain models are equipped with a bottom surface or a heating element which is gold-plated to limit scale deposits and facilitate cleaning.

To clean the filter (depending on model)

The removable filter is made up of fabric which retains the particles of scale and stops them from falling into your cup when you pour. This filter does not treat the water or remove the scale from it. It therefore preserves all the qualities of the water.

With very hard water, the filter becomes clogged with scale very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly.

If it is wet, rinse it with water, and if it is dry, scrub it gently. Sometimes the scale does not come away; if so, descaling is necessary.

- Never immerse the kettle or its base in water, as the electrical connections and the switch must not be allowed to come into contact with water.

- Never use abrasive cleaning pads.

- Never rub the "gold" coating as this will damage its surface.

Descaling

Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month and more frequently if your water is very hard.

To descale your kettle, use:

• white vinegar
• fill the kettle with half a litre of vinegar
• leave to stand for 1 hour without heating
• citric acid:
• boil half a litre of water
• add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
• a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles:
• follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times.

Repeat if necessary.

To descale your filter (depending on model):

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

Rinse thoroughly with water before putting back in the kettle.

- Never use descaling methods other than those recommended

There is no visible damage to your kettle

The kettle does not work or stops before boiling.

• Check that the kettle is plugged in properly.
• The kettle has been operated without water or scale has accumulated, triggering the safety system to prevent dry operation: leave the kettle to cool and then fill with water. Use the switch to turn it on: the kettle starts working again after about 15 minutes.

The water tastes of plastic

This usually occurs when the kettle is new. Throw away the water the first few times you use it. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum, add two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Boil and throw away the water. Rinse the kettle thoroughly.

If your kettle has fallen, if it leaks, or if the cord, the plug or the base of the kettle are visibly damaged

Prevention

of accidents in the home

For a child, even a slight burn may sometimes be serious.

As they grow up, teach your children to be careful with hot fluids in the kitchen.
