Boiling water
∙ Never remove the water container
from the base (or replace it) while the
appliance is switched on.
∙ Remove the water container from its
base.
∙ Open the lid and fi ll the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min. and 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
the boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator light
goes out and a beep signal is heard.
∙ To interrupt the boiling process, set the
On/Off switch to its Off position; the
indicator light goes out.
∙ To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
∙ To prevent hot steam from being emitted,
ensure that the lid remains closed while
pouring out the water.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall outlet after
use.
∙ Do not leave any residual water in the

Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your area,
lime deposits may build up on the heating
element. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. Any warranty
claim will be null and void if the appliance
malfunctions because of insuffi cient
descaling. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water
and 40 ml of vinegar essence is suitable.
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
∙ During descaling, ensure suffi cient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards.
General cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the kettle and the base with water
and do not immerse them in water. Do not
clean under running water.
∙ For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions, and do not use hard brushes
for cleaning.
