FIRSTUSE

• Remove all packaging from the appliance.
• Boil at first twice a full jug of water.
  Discard the boiled water. If you fill the kettle again with water, it cools off the boil-dry protection so you can normally use the kettle again.

USE

The kettle can be used only with the supplied base.
- Remove the kettle from the base, so that during the filling no water will be spilled on the base.
- Open the cover by pressing the button [1] to open the lid.
- Fill the kettle with a volume of water between the minimum and maximum-filling marks. Too little water will cause the kettle to shut off too early, too much water will cause spilling boiling water.

Note: This water kettle is equipped with an overfill safety feature. This will make sure that in case of overfilling the kettle the water will not come in contact with electrical components of the kettle ensuring no unsafe situations can occur. In case of overfill the water will be lead through the inner side of the kettle and will exit the kettle at the bottom, away from the electrical element.

• Close the cover securely.
  Put the kettle on the base (5).
• Insert the plug into the socket

• Boil the water, if desired, one more time. But wait at least 30 seconds after the kettle has been automatically switched off.
• Take the kettle from the base and pour the water slowly and carefully without tilting too quickly. If the kettle is accidentally switched on without water, the boil-dry protection switches it off automatically. If this happens, let the kettle to cool and fill it with cold water and resume.
