Switching the Appliance On / Off
• Switch on (switch position: I):
Switch on the appliance with the switch. The control
lamp lights up.
• Switching off (switch position: O):
Switch off the appliance with the switch. The control lamp
goes out.
Preparation
Before using the appliance for the first time, boil it 3 times
with fresh water. Use only clear water without additives.
Operation
1. Place the appliance on a flat surface.
2. Close the appliance with the lid. It must audibly click into
place. Always make sure that the lid is firmly closed.
3. Fill in clear water through the filler opening (maximum
1 litre). You can read the fill level on the appliance's
water level indicator.
- Always use fresh, cold water.
- The water level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
- You do not need to remove the lid to fill in water. There
is a self-closing filler opening in the lid. The flap opens
automatically when water pressure is applied.
WARNING:
• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug
from the socket before cleaning. Wait until the appliance has
cooled down.
• Do not immerse the appliance or the base in water or other liq-
uids. It could cause an electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Clean the perforated surface of the spout from the inside
with a nylon brush.
• Rinse the water reservoir with clean water. Dry it with a
cloth.
• Clean the lid and the housing after use with a slightly
damp cloth.

5. Switch on the appliance with the switch. The control
lamp lights up.
Interrupting / Ending Operation
There are two ways to interrupt or end the cooking process:
1. The appliance switches off automatically after the cook-
ing process. The control lamp goes out.
2. To end or interrupt the cooking cycle prematurely, set the
switch to the O position.
- Always switch off the appliance before removing
it from the base! The contacts on the base are not
suitable for disconnecting the power supply.
- Make sure that the appliance is switched off when you
put it back on the base!
• Unplug the mains plug from the socket.
• Empty the water container.
- Only hold the appliance by the handle.
- Keep the lid closed when pouring out.
- Open and close the lid only with the handle on the lid.
• The appliance becomes hot during operation, do not
touch it and allow the appliance to cool down before
putting it away.
Cleaning
• The intervals for descaling depend on the hardness of
the water and the frequency of use.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils,
descaling is necessary.
• Do not use vinegar, but a commercially available des-
caling agent based on citric acid. Dose according to the
instructions.
• After descaling, boil fresh water several times (approx.
3 to 4 times) to remove residues. Do not use this water
for consumption.
