Operating the appliance for the first time and general information
The kettle is made from stainless steel and WMF glass. It is heat resistant, stable, neutral tasting and
easy to clean.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the kettle prior to the first use. (see the chapter entitled "Cleaning and
care").
A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring.
The unnecessary 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. 200 ml, max. 1,000 ml).
Note: If you use too little water, the dry-run protection (overheating protection)
automatically switches the heating element off. If there is too much water then hot water may boil
over, which can cause serious injury or burns.
The lid (2) must audibly lock into place; only in this way does the automatic boil stop work reliably.
Place the kettle on the base in any position.
Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.
The following functions are available:
