The maximum capacity is 0.5 liters, with a minimum of 0.1 liters. Do not exceed the MAX mark to avoid burns.

How do I descale the kettle?

Use a commercial descaling product based on citric acid. Follow the recommended doses, then boil fresh water 3 to 4 times to rinse. Do not consume this water.

Why does the kettle shut off before the water boils?

This may be due to needed descaling or an overload of the electrical circuit. Perform descaling and check the outlet.

The kettle does not turn on, what should I do?

First check the power supply: try a different outlet, check the circuit breaker. If nothing works, contact customer service.

Can I heat milk or other liquids?

How do I clean the exterior of the kettle?

Use a slightly damp cloth without abrasive detergent. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Which voltage to select on the selector?

In Europe, select 230 V AC. Elsewhere, set according to local voltage (120 V or 230 V) to avoid damaging the appliance.

The kettle continues to heat after boiling, is this normal?

No, the automatic shut-off should cut the heating. If not, check that the lid is properly closed (handle inserted). Otherwise, contact customer service.

Can I use the kettle without water?

No, this would damage the appliance. The dry boil protection will shut it off, but allow it to cool for 10 minutes before refilling.

What to do if the water takes a long time to boil?

Check the voltage selector: it must match your network. If the voltage is correct, descaling may be necessary.
