Thermal safety cut-out

The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects the heating element from overheating should the appliance be erroneously switched on without any water, or if the heating plate is calcified. Once the safety cut-out has switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to cool down sufficiently, or must be descaled before it is switched on again.

Before using for the first time

To clean the kettle, boil and discard the first filling of water.
