3. Using the Kettle
Before you use the kettle, satisfy yourself
that...
– the kettle, plug and power cable are in
good working order...
– and all packaging material has been
removed from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with water to the MAX mark
and let it come to a boil once as described
in the next number. Then pour off this water.
4. Boiling Water
Danger: Never place the electrical base
near water – life-threatening danger!
Only boil as much water as you need. This
saves electricity, water and time.
• Remove the pot to fill it.
Open the cover by pressing the release
button.
Hold the pot vertically when filling it to
ensure that the level indicator on the side
properly indicates the water level.
Fill the pot ...
– at least to the MIN mark to ensure that
the kettle does not overheat,
– no more than to the MAX mark to ensure
that boiling water does not spill over.
• Close the cover ...
• and place the pot on the base until it is
set on its base completely straight.
• Now put the plug into the socket...
and press the ON switch downward until
it locks into place.
A lamp in the window of the level
indicator indicates that the kettle is now
heating up.
• The kettle switches itself off when the
water is boiling properly. The ON switch
pops out again and the lamp goes out.
In order to interrupt heating, push the
ON switch up again (the lamp also goes
out in this case).
Warning:
Please pull the plug out of the socket
before you lift the pot from the base.
This prevents water from spilling onto the
electrical connections in the base and
causing a short-circuit.
For safety reasons and to avoid injuries
do not open the lid when the water is
boiling or very hot.
