This appliance generates heat.
The kettle switches off automatically when water boils. You can
switch the kettle off before water boils using a switch. When the
kettle switches off automatically (or when it was switched off man-
ually), it may take some time (approximately 15 ­ 20 seconds to cool
down) to be ready for re­use.
The kettle must only be used with the supplied base.
Do not touch the surface marked with this symbol. Do not
touch the surfaces during or after operation of the appliance.
These surfaces are hot.
Unplug the kettle from the power outlet and wait until it cools down
before cleaning.
When boiling the water, parts of the kettle made of stainless steel
become very hot.
Do not switch on the kettle without an adequate amount of water
(level marked as "min" on the scale).
Do not leave the kettle unattended, and when not completely
cooled down.
Use only the handle to move the kettle, other external parts may
be hot.
Use the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate corresponds
to that of your home electrical mains. Alternating current must be
used, typically marked ~.

OPERATE THE APPLIANCE:
Before using the appliance for consumption, boil clean water in
it several times by filling the kettle to the maximum position. Use
fresh, cold water for each boil cycle.
USE:
Remove the kettle from the base, press the button on the handle to
open the lid and fill the kettle with water as needed between the
min­max level. Close the lid and put the kettle back on the base.
Depending on the model, use the button on the handle or at the
bottom of the kettle to turn on the appliance. This will be indicated
by the LED lighting up. When the water has boiled, the appliance will
turn off and you will hear the switch click. Use the hot water from
the kettle and put the appliance back on its base.
Note! Only use the kettle with its lid closed.
If you accidentally turn on the kettle without water, or when the
water boils off, the safety device will operate and the kettle will turn
off automatically. You will be able to use the kettle again when the
heating element has cooled down and you fill the kettle with water.
CLEANING:
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
and allow it to cool down completely.
1. Do not immerse the kettle, cord and power base in water and
protect against contact with moisture.
2. Wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth or mild
cleaning agent; never use any poisonous cleaning agents.
3. Remember to clean the filter regularly. To facilitate cleaning,
remove the filter by pressing the filter tab inside the kettle,
and reinstall it after cleaning.
NOTE: To prevent matting, do not use any abrasive cleaners, harsh
chemicals, steel or wood to clean the outside of the kettle.

DESCALE YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it means des-
caling is required. Descale your kettle periodically, as minerals dis-
solved in the tap water can form limescale on the bottom of the
kettle, which reduces the water heating efficiency. You can use a
commercially available descaler and follow the instructions on its
packaging. You can also use white vinegar and follow the instruc-
tions below.
1. Fill the kettle with 3 cups of white vinegar and then add water
until it completely covers the limescale. Leave the solution in
the kettle overnight.
2. Then pour the mixture out of the kettle, fill the kettle with
clean water to the maximum level, bring it to a boil and then
pour out the water. Repeat several times until the smell of
vinegar disappears. Any limescale residue inside the spout
can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth.
