Before using Read these instructions carefully. They contain important notes for the use, safety and maintenance of the appliance. Keep them in a safe place and transfer them to a possible succeeding user. Only use the appliance for the purpose mentioned in these instructions. When using pay particular attention to the following safety advice. Safety advice

• Connect the appliance to alternating current only - with a rated voltage according to the rating plate - to a correctly installed earthed socket. Cord and plug have to be completely dry.

• Do not pull the connection cord over sharp edges or jam it, do not allow it to hang down and protect it from heat and oil.

• Only use the kettle with the corre- sponding base.

• Do not pull the plug by the cord or touch it with wet hands.

• If the following happens do not use the kettle respectively unplug it immediately: - the kettle or cord is damaged; - the appliance leaks; - any defect after a plunge or something similar is suspected. In these cases have the appliance repaired.

• Do not place the boiler on hot sur- faces, such as stove tops or such or near an open gas flame, it may melt.

• Make sure that the appliance is filled up to the water level as boiling water overflowing from the kettle could damage surfaces.

• Do not use the appliance without water.

• For filling the kettle remove it from the base.

• Only fill the kettle with pure water, not with milk, coffee etc.

• If the appliance is overfilled or ope- rated with an open lid, boiling water could splash out.

• During use do not move the appliance and do not pull the cord.

• Caution: The appliance will become hot during use. Scalding danger due to escaping steam! Only touch the hot kettle by the handle and do not open the lid when pouring out.

• Always empty the kettle completely and do not leave remaining water in the kettle for a long time.

• Keep out of reach from children.

• This appliance is not meant to be used by persons (including child- ren) with reduced physical, senso- rial or mental capacities or in ab- sence of the necessary experience and/or knowledge - unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety and from whom they get instructions on how to use the appliance.

• Unplug in the following cases: - faults during use - before cleaning and maintenance . after use

• Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.

• In case of misuse, wrong handling or incorrect repair no liability will be taken for possible damages. Claims under guarantee are also excluded in such cases.

• The appliance is not designed for commercial purposes.

• Packaging material such as plastic bags keep out of reach of children.

• In case the cord of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by an authorised service agent of the manufacturer or a person having similar qualifications. Considerable risks may be incurred by the user due to improper repairs. Putting into operation Before first use clean the inside of the kettle carefully. In order to do so, open the lid by pressing the button on the upper part of the handle. In the spout there is a detachable sieve that makes sure that calcium par- ticles will be held back. The length of the cord which is not required can be rolled up at the bot- tom of the base. Put the plug into an earthed socket. Fill with 0.5 liters of water, however, only up to the max mark. Close the lid until it snaps into the opening for pouring. The automatic CookStop only operates reliably by this method. Put the kettle on the base in any position you like. Only now press the button below the.handle downwards, the control lamp indicates that the appliance starts to heat. The button engages only if the kettle is not on the base. Because of the high power consumption a higher noise level during boiling is to be taken into consideration. The water of the first boilling process do not use for preparation of food. Automatic boil stop Shortly after the water has started boiling the automatic boil stop switches off the appliance and the control lamp extinguishes. If there is only little water in the kettle the boiling period until boil stop will be extended. If only warm water is desired, the heating process can be stopped at any time by pressing the button. The automatic boil stop also works when the kettle is lifted from the base. If you want to boil hot water again after some time the appliance can be switched on once again. Some condensate may drain on the edge of the base on the bottom of the6 appliance based on the function of the drainage holes. This is normal and nothing to worry about. Safety system When by mistake switching on the water kettle without water, a thermostat protects the appliance from overheating by switching it off. Before refilling with water wait another 5 - 10 minutes until the appliance has cooled down. If by chance the boil-dry cut-out fails to work an additional thermal fuse will cut off power to the unit. Descaling Calcium deposits on the bottom of the pot result in energy losses and reduce the service life of the appliance. If the lime scale is too thick the appliance switches off before the water is boiling. In this case it is very difficult to remove the lime scale. The boiler should therefore be routi- nely treated with a conventional decalcifying agent that is suitable for stainless steel. Please consider the user instructions of the manufacturer. Never allow the substance to boil, otherwise it will foam over the top of the kettle. We recommend the use of durgol

express. This is higly efficient and yet gentle. Unplug the appliance prior to decalcification and let cool. Do not heat the solution during the decalcifi- cation process.After descaling rinse the kettle carefully with water. The guarantee does not cover damages resulting from non-keeping of the manufacturer’s instructions. Cleaning and maintenance Before cleaning unplug the appliance. Never immerse the kettle or the base into water. Clean the inside of the kettle occasionally. Clean the outside with a damp cloth only. Do not use caustic or scouring cleaning agents. The heated bottom consists of stain- less steel. If rust spots are seen regardless, these are initially only corroding deposits adhering to the surface. Since they may become the starting point for rusting through of the material, they must be removed with a stainless steel cleaner. Causes for failures

• Appliance switches off before the water is boiling: The built up lime scale at the bottom of the kettle is too thick or the electric circuit of the socket is overloaded.

• The appliance does not switch off: Close the lid until it snaps in.

• Pouring the water out of the kettle is difficult: Descale the sieve.

• Appliance cannot be switched on: After having used the appliance without or too little water the appliance has not yet cooled down sufficiently. If the failure cannot be removed let the appliance have repaired. For UK use only

• This product is supplied with a 13 A plug conforming to BS 1363 fitted to the mains lead. If the plug is unsuitable for your socket outlets or needs to be replaced, please note the following. If the plug is a non-rewireable one, cu immediately dispose of it. Never insert it into a socket outlet as there is a very great risk of an electric shock.

• The replacement of the plug at the mains lead has to be done according to the following instructions: Warning - This appliance must be earthed Important: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: green / yellow: Earth blue: Neutral brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: - the wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol , or coloured green or green and yellow, - the wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black, - the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If any other type of plug is used, the appliance must be protected by a 15 A fuse either in the plug or adapter or at the distribution board. If in doubt - consult a qualified electrician.
