Before Using For The First Time; Cleaning And Maintenance - Krups BW442D Manual Del Usuario

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 unlocking system. (fig. 2)
When you press on the unlocking system, the lid will open automatically.
■ This kettle will not work when the lid is open. If the lid is lost or broken, please contact your after-sales service
centre.
2
. PLACE THE BASE ON A FLAT, STABLE, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE AWAY FROM WATER
SPLASHES AND ANY SOURCES OF HEAT.
■ Your kettle must be used with the base and anti-limescale filter specific to this product.
3
. FILL THE KETTLE WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF WATER. (fig. 3)
■ You can fill it up with water via the spout or directly into the kettle. (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.
■ Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR KETTLE.
■ Disconnect the appliance.
■ Leave it to cool and then clean it with a damp sponge.
■ Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water or any other liquid. The electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water or any other liquid.
■ Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER.
■ The filter is removable. (fig. 8)
■ 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
■ Descale your kettle regularly, preferably once per month or more often if you live in a hard water area.
