∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – such materials
are a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fi tted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull the
power cord, it must no longer be used:
even invisible damage may have adverse
effects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
∙ The appliance must be used only on a
heat-resistant, level surface.
∙ Do not operate the appliance below a
hanging cupboard or similar object; there
is a risk that escaping steam may be
trapped underneath.
∙ The exterior surfaces become hot during
use and will remain so for some time
afterwards.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to come into contact with open
fl ames or any hot surfaces such as hot-
plates.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free, and
keep the cord well away from hot parts of
the housing.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket,
- in case of any malfunction,
- after use,
- during cleaning.
∙ No responsibility is accepted if damage
results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating should
the appliance be erroneously switched on
without any water, or if the heating element
is calcifi ed. Once the safety cut-out has
switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to
cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled
before it is switched on again.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ To clean the kettle, boil and discard the
fi rst fi lling of water.
Boiling water

∙ Use the lid-opener lever to open the lid
and fi ll the container with water to the

Max. markings.
∙ Before closing the lid and placing the
container back on its base, ensure that
the appliance has not yet been switched
on.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and press the On/Off switch; the indicator
light comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device; the indicator light
goes out
∙ To interrupt the boiling process, set the
On/Off switch to its Off position.
∙ To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
