Electrical connection requirements
- Before connecting the appliance to the mains, make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the information on the rating plate located on the mains base and the base of the kettle.
- The device may only be connected to a 230 V \~, 50 Hz electrical socket.
Before using boiled water from the kettle for the first time, boil the water at least for 3 times in a kettle filled with water to the maximum level mark, pour it out and rinse the kettle thoroughly.
1 Unwind the power cord from the base. Place the device on a level and stable surface.
2 Fill it full with the water. Please observe the MAX water indicators (the MAX mark is on the end of the steam pipe inside the channel). Close the lid, otherwise the kettle will not switch off automatically when the water closes and the water may boil out of the kettle.
Warning! The water level must be at the maximum of the MAX. indicator (1.5 l), minimum 0.5 l. Too little water can damage the heater and too much water can cause water to leak during boiling.
3 Use the base for the mains. Place the kettle on the base with the power supply. Place the kettle with the output for water facing away from you.
After placing the kettle on the base, the kettle is ready for operation.
4 To operate the kettle, set switch 5 0/I to position I (on).
WARNING!
Never fill the kettle when it is placed on the base. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may splash out.
Do not run the kettle abruptly. Improper use of the kettle may adversely affect its service life.
If you accidentally switch on the kettle without water, the thermostat will automatically switch off the kettle when a certain temperature is reached. Switch 5 switche to position 0 (off) and the light goes out. The kettle can be restarted after a few minutes as soon as the stainless steel bottom cools down.
The body of the kettle with spout and cover is made of fragile material therefore, it requires very careful handling. It can be severely damaged in the event of an impact – the kettle can be broke.
Switching off
To switch off the kettle before boiling, switch the switch (5) to 0 (Off).
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when it is finished.
Do not open the cover when splashing.
PROTECTION FROM HEATING WITHOUT WATER
If you accidentally turn on the kettle when it is empty, the power-on protection without water turns it off automatically.
Allow the kettle to cool down for a short time.
After a short break, you can use the kettle in the normal way.
NOTIFICATIONS!
- Never use the appliance empty. If this happened accidentally, the thermal fuse switches the device off automatically. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool completely.
- Do not touch the metal bottom during operation. There may be burns.
Care, maintenance and cleaning
1 Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down completely.

3 Do not use solvents or harsh detergents to make the surface smooth and glossy. They could damage the glazed surface of the kettle.
The outer surface of the kettle can be wiped with a damp cloth, then polished with a soft and dry cloth.
WARNING!
THE KETTLE, THE POWER SUPPLY, THE NETWORK CABLE OR ITS PENDANT DO NOT IMMERSE IN THE WATER!
4 Regular cleaning is required from the deposition of the stones. The interval of such cleaning depends on the water hardness in your area and on the frequency of use of the kettle
5 For easier storage, the power cord can be clamped around the base.
Before storing the kettle, ensure it is turned off, clean and dry. Ensure that the lid is securely seated in the closed position. Wipe the network cord around the bracket at the bottom of the stand. Place the kettle vertically on the base.
Do not remove any objects on the lid.
6 Do not disassemble! Repair your authorized service.

- once a month in areas with hard and very hard water;
- 1 to 2 to 3 months in areas with soft and medium hard water.
For cleaning, use a diluted vinegar or lime acid remover. Remove the lime salt and use only according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Mineral deposits can cause unwanted staining of the interior of the kettle and watermark after a certain time. Remove these deposits with a special mineral disposal agent available in most supermarkets or department stores.
An alternative procedure
1 Fill the kettle with 2/3 of a solution of one part of vinegar and two parts of water, bring the solution to boil and leave to stand for the next day.
