Remember if you wish to re-boil, put the main switch of the kettle to the “ON” position. 

The kettle may be switch off at any time by either pushing the main switch of the kettle to the 

“OFF” position.   

When water boils, the steam passes through the steam channel and then switches off the 

kettle. To pour water, lift the kettle from the power base and pour. 

When pouring out the water incline the kettle slightly and gradually. Do not forget that hot 

water is inside.   

An automatic safety boil-dry cut-out has been fitted for protection against overheating: It will 

also operate if the kettle is switched on when containing insufficient water. Always ensure 

the water inside the kettle covers the minimum mark on the water level indicator gauge. If 

the cut-out has operated, switch the kettle off, disconnect from the power outlet and allow 

the kettle to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes. Then refill with enough water and switch on; the 

kettle will then boil and cut off as in normal operation.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Unplug the kettle and wait until it cools down completely before cleaning or storing.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the exterior of the unit, its base or its power 

cord with water, and do not immerse it in water. The exterior of the kettle may be cleaned 

with a slightly damp non-abrasive lint-free cloth without additives.

The filter may be removed for cleaning purposes. To do this, place the filter vertically, pull 

upwards and draw out. Wash the outside of the filter in the water flow.

Refit all parts when they are completely dry.

In the hard water area, it is important to do the decalcification regularly to keep the kettle in 

good working condition, because too much scale inside may cause the kettle fail to work. 

For the best performance of your kettle, decalcify the unit from time to time. The frequency 

depends on the hardness of your tap water and how many times you have used the kettle. 

Decalcification will clean the interior of the unit.

This may be done in the following manner:

- Half fill the kettle with ordinary tap water.

- Add 30 ml of white vinegar to the water in the kettle.

- Boil the mixture and allow it to stand for 30 seconds.

- Repeat this process two or three. Empty, rise well and use the kettle in the normal way.

Troubleshooting

The device is not working

• Check that the mains connection cable is firmly plugged in.

• Check the right possitions of the kettle on the base.

• Check the positions of the switches.
