LED lighting
The LED lighting on the appliance base is used to indicate that the appliance is in operation and
to select the temperature.
Initial operation
Thoroughly clean the inside of the kettle before using it for the first time. (see the chapter entitled
"Cleaning and care").
A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring.
Any surplus length of the connecting cable can be wound at the bottom of the base part.
Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket.
Add the desired amount of water (min. 500 ml, max. 1,600 ml).
Warning: If the kettle is not filled with enough water, the overheating protection automatically
deactivates the heating elements. In this case, allow the appliance to cool down before using it again.
Too much water may cause hot water to boil over, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Place the
kettle on the base in any position.
Press the Start/Stop button repeatedly until the LED next to the desired temperature lights up. After
three seconds, the indicator light on the Start/Stop button lights up and the boiling process begins
automatically. After the temperature has been reached, the appliance switches off automatically and
the indicator light turns off.
Note: Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.

Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation without water by
switching off the device.
It is essential to allow the pot to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
ensures reliable protection.
Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not immerse the device in water, but
rather clean them with a damp cloth with a little washing-up fluid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless appear, they are only deposits
adhered to the surface. They should be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid is open. To do so, press
its upper clip upward. When inserting, place the strainer in the middle of the base and then snap it
forward into place.
Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water,
which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage
to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents
that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our
warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the
descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not
inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
Causes for malfunctions
▪ If the pouring behaviour worsens/diminishes:
check the strainer and descale/clean the strainer if necessary
▪ Device switches off before boiling:
Bottom of the pot is too strongly calcified, it is not filled with enough water
▪ Device does not switch off:
Lid is not closed
▪ Device will not switch on:
The device has not sufficiently cooled down following operation with no or too little water.
If it is not possible to fix this problem, submit the device for repair.
