Using for the first time
• Before use, check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
• Remove any labels from the outer surfaces except the rating label.
• Remove the filter (fig. 1) and wash it with water (fig. 2) (refer to page 5 “Removing the
scale filter”).
• Fill the kettle to the max level and boil.
• The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed out with cold water. This pro-
cedure should be carried out twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.
• After the kettle has been rinsed out, refit the filter (fig. 3).
Using the kettle
With the specially designed power base and central connector, you can now set the kettle
on the base at any angle, from any position.
• Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding around the base to give the
correct cord length to reach the plug socket to be used (fig. 4).
• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work surfaces.
Filling
• Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.
• Remove the lid and fill the kettle to the desired level.
Do not fill with less than 0,3 litre of water (min level) to prevent the kettle run-
ning dry while in use; misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
Do not fill with more than 1,7 litres of water (max. level).
If the kettle is overfilled, there is a
risk that boiling water may overflow
and cause burns.
• To close the lid, push it onto the kettle body until it clicks firmly into place.
• The water level indicator enables you to see the quantity of water in the kettle.
Switching on
• Plug the power base into the mains socket.
• Place the kettle on the power base.
• Press the ON/OFF switch down (fig.5) to switch the kettle on.
• The power-on indicator lights will illuminate.
• The kettle will automatically switch off once the water is boiled (the ON/OFF switch will
click upwards and the lights will switch off ).
• To turn the kettle off before the water boils, you may move the ON/OFF switch up to the
OFF position, or simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch off and the switch will return to the
OFF position automatically.
Pouring
• Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully pour out the water. Do not tilt the
kettle suddenly or pour water out at too sharp an angle.
• When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the top surface of the
base. Condensation on the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a cause for alarm.
