- Never leave the kettle unattended when in use.

- Unplug the plug from the socket when the kettle is unattended.

DANGER of electric shock

- If the device's power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service department or by a similarly qualified person in order to prevent any hazards.

• Never open the housing of the base [5], as this does not contain any parts to be maintained. If the housing is open, there is a risk of electric shock.
• If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or smells, switch off the kettle immediately and remove the plug from the socket. If this happens, you must stop using the kettle until it has been checked by a specialist. If the device catches fire, do not inhale any resulting smoke.

You can minimise the length of the cable when you are not using the kettle.

5 6

• Unwind the power cable [6] on the underside of the base [5].
• Place the base [5] on a flat, non-slip and dry surface. Make sure that the power cable [6] passes through one of the openings on the underside of the base [5]. This is to ensure that the kettle is positioned securely.

WARNING

If the power cable [6] does not pass through one of the openings on the underside of the base [5], the base [5] and kettle [4] are not positioned securely. The movement of the boiling water can make the kettle tip over and cause serious damage to property and cause injuries!

• Open the lid [10] by pressing the lid release button [9].
• Fill the kettle [4] with drinking water up to a minimum of '0.5 I MIN' and a maximum of '1.7 I MAX' on the water level gauge [3] and close the lid [10] by pressing it down.

You can freely rotate the kettle [4] by 360° around its vertical axis when you place it on the base [5]. The kettle does not need to be locked into a particular position. This way, you can turn the kettle [4] so that the water level gauge [3] is easy to see or to direct the steam from the kettle away from you.

• Plug the connector into a power socket, which is always easily accessible.
• Place the kettle (4) on the base (5) and press the ON/OFF switch (7) down in order to switch on the kettle (4). The ON/OFF switch (7) integrated into the status display lights up white. The kettle makes noise during the heating process. This is not due to a malfunction.

DANGER of burns

Only boil water with the closed lid [10] on. Otherwise the kettle [4] can tip over and cause burn injuries and damage to property.

• As soon as the water boils, the kettle [4] switches off. The ON/OFF switch [7] automatically returns to the upper position and the integrated status display goes out.
• Pull out the power cable [6] plug from the socket, remove the kettle [4] from the base [5] and pour out the water.

DANGER of burns

Never touch the housing of the kettle [4] during and immediately after operation. Only use the handle [8] to hold or carry the kettle [4].

Hot steam is released when the water boils. Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear an oven glove, if necessary. Turn the kettle (4) so that the steam is directed away from you.

DANGER of burns

Always make sure that the lid [10] is shut when pouring out the water. Hot water could otherwise flow out of the opening at the top used to fill the kettle.

7. Maintenance/cleaning

DANGER of burns

Wait until the kettle (4) has cooled down completely before cleaning it. Otherwise you could burn yourself.

DANGER of electric shock

Always remove the plug from the power socket before cleaning commences. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the base [5] or immerse it into water or any other liquids. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock and a fire hazard due to short circuits.

Do not use any scratching or abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive objects [such as a metal scourer] for cleaning purposes. Otherwise the pot [4] may be damaged.

• Rinse the inside of the kettle [4] with clear water.
• Clean the outer surfaces of the kettle [4] or base [5] with a slightly damp cloth. Use some washing up-liquid on the damp cloth for stubborn stains. Make sure to remove any detergent residue from the kettle [4] and base [5] before using the kettle again. Dry the kettle [4] and base [5] thoroughly before the next use.

You can use a cleaning or bottle brush with a long handle to remove stubborn stains from inside the kettle [4].

7.1 Descaling the kettle [4]

Limescale may build up in the kettle (4) over time. This can lead to loss of energy and shorten the kettle's service life. You should therefore remove the limescale as soon as it becomes visible.

• Use a descaling agent that is used for coffee machines and other household devices. Proceed as described in the instructions for the descaling agent.
• Rinse the kettle (4) with plenty of clear water several times after descaling it.

7.2 Cleaning the limescale filter [1]
