Getting started
Before first use:
- Rinse the inside and wipe the outside of the kettle with a damp cloth.
- Place the base unit on a firm and flat surface. Plug the mains plug into a wall socket. Excess cord can be wound into the bottom of the base unit.
- Press the button to open the lid, pour water into the kettle. It is also possible to fill the kettle through the spout, without opening the lid. Make sure water level is visible in the water level indicator, but not exceeding the Max. mark.
- Close the lid and make sure it snaps in correctly. Otherwise the auto switch off function will not work reliably. Place the kettle onto the base. Press down the ON/OFF switch; the indicator light will illuminate and the kettle will start to heat up.
Automatic switch off function:
When the water has boiled or the kettle is moved from the base, it will switch off automatically. If you wish to stop the heating process before the water is boiling, simply lift up the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
