CAUTION: the safety precautions are part of the appliance. Read them carefully before using your new
appliance for the first time. Keep them in a place where you can find and refer to them later on.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

■ Remove all of the various packaging, stickers or accessories from both the inside and outside of the kettle.
■ 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.
USE
1
. TO OPEN THE LID.
■ Press on the two central parts of the lid and remove it. (fig. 2)
■ Do not use your kettle without its lid. In case the lid is lost or broken, please contact your after-sales service center.
2
. PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER
SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
■ Kettle is only to be used with the stand provided.
3
. FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (fig. 3)
■ 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.
(fig. 4)
■ Do not use without water.
■ Check that the lid is closed properly before use. (fig. 5)
4
. POSITION THE KETTLE ON ITS BASE. PLUG IT INTO THE MAINS SOCKET.
5
. TO START THE KETTLE.
■ Press the on/off button at the bottom of the handle. The on/off button will light up. (fig. 6)
6
. AS SOON AS THE WATER REACHES BOILING POINT, THE KETTLE WILL TURN OFF
AUTOMATICALLY.
■ The light will turn off when the on/off switch returns to the upper position after boiling.
■ You can stop it manually, before removing it from its base to pour the water. Adjust the on/off button (located at the
bottom of the handle) upwards. (fig. 7)
■ 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.
■ When pouring, the dust cover of the spout will open automatically. (fig. 8)
■ Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.
■ Unplug it.
■ Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
■ 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.
■ The filter can be removed. (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.
DE-SCALING
■ De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
