6. Initial operation and use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please proceed as follows: Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz mains socket. In order to remove any possible residue from the manufacturing process, fill the appliance once with water up to the maximum filling level ("MAX" mark), boil the water and then pour it away before using the appliance for the first time. 6.1. Operating the kettle CAUTION! Risk of injury through burning. Do not overfill the kettle because otherwise boiling water could spray out. Do not open the lid of the kettle while the water is boiling. Do not operate the device without the filter inserted because otherwise boiling water could spray out. To boil water, proceed as follows: Open the lid by pressing on the lid opener. Add the desired volume of water to the water container. Add at least enough water to reach the "MIN" mark on the gauge. Do not exceed the maximum fill- ing level marked with "MAX" on the gauge. Place the water container onto the base plate so that it clicks firmly into place. Close the lid again. Connect the mains cable from the base plate to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz mains socket. Switch on the kettle by setting the On/Off switch to position 1. Wait until the water boils. The appliance switches off automatically when boil- ing point is reached. However, you can also switch off the appliance before this point by setting the On/Off switch to position 0. 17022 eCommerce MSN50053371 2 Content RC1.indb 6217022 eCommerce MSN50053371 2 Content RC1.indb 62 20.05.2016 10:15:5820.05.2016 10:15:5863 of 68

7. Cleaning and descaling

CAUTION! Risk of injury through burning. Empty the kettle before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning. WARNING! Risk of injury from electric shock/short circuit. Pull the mains plug from the socket and allow the appliance to cool down completely. Do not clean the base plate. Never use hard objects on the base plate and do not immerse it in water. You can clean the exterior of the water container using a damp cloth. Just rinse the inside with clean water. Rinse the removable filter in the spout by hand. To do this, reach into the spout from the outside and press the locking mechanism and then carefully push the filter into the kettle to remove it. When inserting the filter again, ensure that the lower retaining lug is sitting on the guide rail. 7.1. Descaling To prolong the appliance’s service life and to keep boiling times short, the kettle must be regularly descaled. We recommend an environmentally friendly descaling process using vinegar or citric acid:

1. Add a dose of vinegar (ratio of 1:3) or citric acid (2 heaped tablespoons to 1 litre

of water) to the water.

2. Allow the liquid to stand in the appliance for approx. 1 hour.

3. Now boil the liquid in the kettle.

4. Then rinse the water container thoroughly with clean water.

5. If you want to use a commercial descaler (chemical product), observe the in-
