IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following : Always read the instructions before first use and keep them handy for future reference. Only use the kettle to heat water. Never heat other liquids in the kettle. Only plug the kettle into a grounded power outlet. Check that the voltage on the rating plate of the appliance corresponds to that of your electrical installation. Keep the kettle and its power cord away from any source of heat, any wet or slippery surface and away from sharp angles. Your kettle should only be used with its lid locked, with the base and the anti-scale filter installed. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plug, or machine in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not use outdoors. Never immerse the kettle, its base or the power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.

Do not place the kettle or its base on or near a hot gas or electric burner or a hot surface such as a hot plate or in a heated oven or use it near an open flame. Place the kettle and its power cord to the back of the work surface. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to the off position, then remove plug from wall outlet. Always unplug the power cord immediately if you observe any anomaly during operation. Never pull on the power cord to remove it from the wall outlet. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Do not let cord hang over edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Always remain vigilant when the appliance is on, and in particular be careful of the steam coming out of the spout which is very hot.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A. A short power cord or a detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord accidentally. KR_BOUILLOIRE_PERFORMA_NAFTA_NC00123439_Mise en page 1 18/04/14 10:14 Page45

B. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If a long detachable power cord or an extension cord is used:

1) the marked electrical rating of the detachable power cord or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding

3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter where

it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in anyway. KRUPS reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components at any time in the interests of the consumer. CAUTION: the safety precautions are part of the appliance. Read them carefully before using your new appliance for the first time. Keep them in a place where you can find and refer to them later on.

Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle.

Adjust the length of the cord by unwinding it under the base. Wedge the cord into the notch. (fig. 1)

Throw away the water from the first two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately. USE

Lid opens automatically: press the button at the top of the handle. (fig. 2)

Do not use your kettle without its lid. In case the lid is lost or broken, please contact your after-sales service center.

2. PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER

SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.

Kettle is only to be used with the base provided.

Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.

Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may spill out. (fig. 4)

Do not use without water.

Check that the lid is closed properly before use. (fig. 5)

Press the on/off button at the bottom of the handle. The on/off button will light up. (fig. 6)

The light will turn off when the on/off switch returns to the upper position after boiling.

You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. Adjust the on/off button (located at the bottom of the handle) upwards. The light will turn off. (fig. 7)

Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.

Do not use scouring pads. CLEANING THE FILTER.

The filter can be removed. (fig. 8)

The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then need descaling. DE-SCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard. TO DE-SCALE YOUR KETTLE.

• Using white vinegar: - Fill the kettle with 19 Oz of vinegar,, - Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

• Using citric acid: - Boil 19 Oz of water, - Add 2 tablespoons of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.

• Use a de-scaler specificaly for stainless steel kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil: - Check that your kettle is properly connected. - The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated. Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.

The water tastes of plastic: - Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of baking soda. Bring to the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle. IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE

Do not use the kettle. No attempt must be made to dismantle the kettle or its safety devices.

Return your kettle to your After-Sales Service Centre, only they are authorized to carry out repairs. See the warranty conditions and list of centers in the booklet supplied with your kettle. The type and serial number are shown on the bottom of your kettle.
