3. IMPORTANT ADVICE

• Before using your appliance for the first time, read the following instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. Keep this manual throughout the entire working life of the appliance.
• Make sure that the mains voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the appliance. Only connect the appliance to an AC power supply.
• The electrical safety of your appliance is only guaranteed if it is connected to an efficient earth installation. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• The appliance is designed for domestic use only. Any other use is considered unsuitable and therefore dangerous.

• In order to avoid electric shocks, do not submerge the connection base, cable or plug in water or any other liquid.

• Only use the kettle with the connection base provided. Do not use any other type of connection.

4. BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE

Before using your kettle for the first time or after a long period of disuse, fill to the maximum, boil and then pour the water away.

5. HOW TO USE YOUR AUTOMATIC KETTLE

• Place the appliance on a dry, flat, stable surface.
• Open the lid by pressing the corresponding button (2) and fill with the required quantity of water. The water level should be between the 'MAX' and 'MIN' marks.
• Replace the lid and make sure it is properly fitted, otherwise the kettle will not switch itself off when the water boils.
• Place the kettle on the base, plug into the mains.
• To turn on the appliance, if you first press the "+" or "-" button, the screen will show the temperature of the water that is in the kettle. After 10 seconds, if you do not set anything, nothing will be displayed on the screen, the kettle will return to standby mode. If you continue pressing one of these (+) "(-)" the temperature will rise or fall. Then press the O/I button, the screen will flash continuously and the kettle will go into water boiling mode. If you press O/I again, the LED screen will display nothing, the kettle will return to standby mode.
• Otherwise, if in the first instance you press 0/1 and then the "+" or "-" button to select the desired temperature, the kettle will go into water boiling mode. If you only press the 0/1 button, the appliance will reach the

pre-established temperature, i.e. 100^ , showing 99^ on the LED screen.

• While the water is boiling, you can readjust the temperature to boil the water with the "+" or "-" keys. If the temperature is higher than the previous temperature, the kettle will continue boiling the water. Otherwise, if the temperature is lower, the element will not function.
• While the kettle is heating the water, the digits on the screen will flash. When the temperature of the water to be boiled reaches the preselected temperature, these digits will stop flashing.
• The kettle will count two minutes and then go into standby mode. You can do this yourself by pressing 0 / 1 before these two minutes pass. When the water inside reaches boiling point.
• Do not add more water to the kettle while it is switched on.
• Do not leave water in the kettle for long periods or overnight.

6. KEEP HOT FUNCTION

This appliance also has a function for keeping the water hot.

Once you have turned on the kettle, you can select the temperature you wish with the "+" or "-" buttons. Then press the 'button and then press 0/1. The kettle will start the process of keeping the water hot, and this process will continue for a maximum period of one hour. As the process continues, the screen will show a dot at the bottom right.

During the keep hot process, if you press the _i = 1^n button, it will come out of the keep hot function and return to the water boiling mode.

When the kettle goes into the keep hot mode, the circuit begins to count the time, and after one hour nothing will be displayed on the screen; the kettle will return to standby mode. During the one-hour period, if you press the 0/1 button, nothing will be displayed on the screen and the kettle will return to standby mode.

7. AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF

The kettle is fitted with an automatic safety protection device in case of overheating and for when there is no water in the kettle. It is activated if the kettle is turned on when there is not enough water inside, i.e. when the water level is below the MIN mark. If this happens, switch the kettle off at the mains and unplug the cable. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then refill with cold water and plug the appliance back in.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After use, unplug the appliance from the mains and leave to cool.

Clean the base and the outside of the kettle with a damp (not cloth) and dry thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth before storing or plugging back into the mains. Remove the stubborn marks with a cloth dampened (not wet) with soap and water or a gentle, non-abrasive, cleaner.

Do not use chemical products or abrasive detergents that may scratch the plastic coating.

Protect the connection base, cable and plug against humidity.

After repeated use, lime deposits may form on the inside of the kettle and interfere with its correct working. These deposits can be removed using any kettle decalcifying products available on the market. If you prefer, you can also decalcify your kettle with white vinegar. To do so, follow the instructions outlined below:

• Place three cups of vinegar in the kettle and then fill with water. Leave the water-vinegar mixture to soak overnight (without boiling).
• The next morning, pour away the water-vinegar mixture, fill the kettle with fresh water and then empty once again. Repeat this operation. The kettle is now ready for use.
• We recommend that you decalcify your kettle once every 4 weeks if used on a daily basis.
