If the appliance, for instance, has been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on its operational safety. ● This appliance is not intended for use by any persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ● Do not leave the kettle unattended during operation. Use only pure water and always observe the minimum and maximum level marks on the inside container when filling. Overfilling the container is potentially dangerous with boiling water being forced out. Also beware of the danger of scalding from steam being emitted. Therefore, do not touch any part of the appliance except the handle during use. ● The housing becomes hot during use. ● Caution: the lid must be kept closed at all times, both during the boiling process and when pouring out hot water. ● The appliance must be placed only on a heat-resistant, level surface. ● Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to come into contact with open flames or any hot surfaces such as hot- plates. ● Do not let the power cord hang free, and keep the cord well away from hot parts of the housing. ● Always remove the plug from the wall socket, - in case of any malfunction, - after use, - during cleaning. ● No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. ● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. ● In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual. Thermal safety cut-out The preset thermal safety cut-out protects the heating element from overheating

Electric travel kettle should the appliance be erroneously switched on without containing any water, or if the heating element is calcified.

Always remove the plug from the wall socket before pouring hot water.

To prevent hot steam from being emitted, ensure that the lid remains closed while pouring. Descaling Depending on the water quality in your area, lime deposits may build up on the heating element. It is advisable to remove any such deposits at regular intervals. When descaling, a mixture of 0.5 litres of water to two tablespoons of vinegar is suitable.

Leave it to take effect for a short period.

To clean the container after descaling, rinse thoroughly with fresh water. ● Do not pour descalers down enamel- coated sinks. General cleaning and care ● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely. ● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the kettle in liquid and do not clean it under running water. ● For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free cloth may be used. ● Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning solutions or stiff brushes for cleaning.

The cups may be cleaned in warm soapy water or in a dish-washer. Storage To save space, the cups can be put inside each other and then stored in the water container.
