2 PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER
SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
3 FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (FIG 6)
l You can fill it through the spout, which ensures better maintenance of the filter.
• Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
• Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may spill
out.
• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed properly before use.
• The kettle must always be used with its own anti-scale filter.
4 POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.

Select the temperature according to your needs :
Position for boiling water or position for the ideal temperature for drinking immediately. (fig 7)
6 TO START THE KETTLE
Press the on/off button positioned on the top or the bottom of the handle according to the model. (fig 8)
7 FOR KETTLES THAT FEATURE A TEMPERATURE SWITCH
if you move quickly from position to position after heating the water, the kettle has to reinitialise. If you think
that this is taking a long time, you can add cold water to speed up the start of heating.
8 THE KETTLE MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT, DEPENDING ON MODEL

- To remove the scale filter, remove the kettle from its base and leave it to cool down. Do not remove the filter when
the appliance is filled with hot water.
- Do not use any method to descale the kettle other than that recommended.
- Do not fill the kettle above the maximum water level, or use it if it is below the minimum level. If the kettle is
over-filled, water may splash out of it.
1 Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle.
2 Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under the base. Wedge the cord into the notch. (fig 1)
Throw away the water from the first two/three uses as it may contain dust. Rinse the kettle and the filter separately.
Before using for the first time
9 THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
as soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature. You can stop it manually, before removing it
from its base to pour the water. Depending on the model, the interior light and the indicator light will go out when
the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after boiling and that the
kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.
l Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.
Use
l Kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.
Cleaning and maintenance
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
l Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the switch
must not come into contact with water.
• Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER (ACCORDING TO THE MODEL) (FIG 9)
The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them falling into your cup when
pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the
water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it
is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will then
need descaling.
• To remove the anti-scale filter, lift the kettle off its base and allow to cool. Never remove the filter when the
appliance is full of hot water
De-scaling
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
• using white vinegar:
- fill the kettle with 1/2 l of vinegar,
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
• using citric acid:
- boil 1/2 l of water,
- add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
• using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles: follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To de-scale your filter (according to model):
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
l Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
