in domestic households. It is not intended for use

with other liquids or for commercial applications.

Safety information



To avoid potentially fatal injury

through electric shock:

• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections

does not come into contact with water! If it has

unintentionally come into contact with water, first

allow it to dry out completely before taking it

into use.

• Only use the water boiler with the supplied base.

• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet

or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that

it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.

• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables

to be replaced at once by qualified technicians

or our Customer Service Department.

• Always remove the plug from the power socket

after use. Simply switching the appliance off is

not sufficient, as the appliance is under power

for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.



To avoid burns and other injuries:

• Always heat water with the lid closed, otherwise

the automatic cut-out may not function. Boiling

water could then spray out over the rim.

• Hot steam clouds may be released. The boiler

also becomes very hot during operation.

Wear oven mitts.

• Ensure that the appliance is standing securely and

vertically before switching it on. Boiling water

can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals

(including children) with restricted physical, physio-

logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in

experience and/or knowledge unless they are

supervised by a person responsible for their safety

or receive from this person instruction in how the

appliance is to be used.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an external timing switch or a

separate remote control system to operate the

appliance.

• Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst

in use.

to water – a potentially fatal risk!



Caution

Always use fresh tap water. Do not consume any

water that has already stood in the water boiler for

longer than one hour. Do not reboil water that has

cooled down. Always pour old water away.

Microbes could have formed in it!

• Open the lid by pressing the unlocking button

• Hold the kettle upright while filling it. Only in this

way can you correctly read the markings

on the scale 4. Fill the kettle...

– at least to the MIN mark, so that the device does

not overheat,

– no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling

water spills out.

the base 3, ensuring that it is is firmly seated on

the base 3.

• Now insert the plug into the mains power socket.

• Press the ON/OFF switch 2down until it engages

lamps go out, as soon as the water is on the boil.

The ON/OFF switch 2is released upwards.

Warning

First remove the plug from the wall power socket before

you lift the kettle from the base 3. This avoids the

risk that any water splashing out could come into

contact with live electrical connections in the base 3,

which could cause a short circuit.



Injury hazard

For safety reasons, the lid should not be opened

while the water is boiling or is very hot.

There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care



Danger

Do not open any part of the housing.

There are no user-servicable elements inside.

An open housing can create the risk of a lethal

electrical shock.

Never submerse any parts of the appliance in

water or other liquids! This can create the risk

of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual

liquid comes into contact with powered

components.



Risk of personal injuries

Before cleaning the appliance, remove the plug

from the mains power socket and allow the appliance

to cool down.

• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cord

with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the

appliance well before taking it back into use.

• For stainless steel surfaces, you can use appropriate

cleaning agents from a specialized dealer.

• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or solvents.

These can damage the appliance.

In the event of scale deposits:

• Before descaling, remove the pourer sieve 5

(see chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer

sieve").

• Obtain any decalcifying agent suitable for kitchen

utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines)

from a hardware shop. Proceed as detailed in

the instructions provided for the use of the

decalcfying agent.

Removing/replacing the pouring sieve

• Open the lid.

• Press the retainer at the top of the pourer sieve

5down and, at the same time, pull the pourer

sieve 5inwards.

• Remove the pourer sieve 5.

• Clean the pouring sieve 5with a lightly

moistened dishcloth and under running water.

• Replace the pourer sieve 5after cleaning it.

Ensure that the retainer engages and that the

pourer sieve 5is firmly seated.

Notice

Should the scale deposits in the pourer sieve 5be

firmly established, lay it in a water-vinegar solution

having a ratio of 6:1 for a few hours. The scale

deposits will dissolve themselves. Rinse the pourer

sieve 5with lots of clear water.

Storage

Allow the appliance to cool off completely before

putting it into storage.

• Wind the power cable around the cable retainer on

the underside of the base 3.

• Store the appliance in a dry place.
