3. Using the Kettle
Before you use the kettle, satisfy yourself
that...
– the kettle, plug and power cable are in
good working order...
– and all packaging material has been
removed from the kettle.
Fill the kettle with water to the MAX mark
and let it come to a boil once as described
in the next number. Then pour off this water.
4. Boiling Water
Danger: Never place the electrical base
near water – life-threatening danger!
Only boil as much water as you need. This
saves electricity, water and time.
• Remove the pot to fill it.
ᕡ Open the cover by pressing the release
button.
ᕢ Hold the pot vertically when filling it to
ensure that the level indicator on the side
properly indicates the water level.
Fill the pot ...
– at least to the MIN mark to ensure that
the kettle does not overheat,
–no more than to the MAX mark to ensure
that boiling water does not spill over.
• Close the cover ...
• and place the pot on the base until it is
set on its base completely straight.
• Now put the plug into the socket...
ᕣ and press the ON switch downward until
it locks into place.
ᕢ A lamp in the window of the level
indicator indicates that the kettle is now
heating up.
• The kettle switches itself off when the
water is boiling properly. The ON switch
pops out again and the lamp goes out.
ᕣ In order to interrupt heating, push the
ON switch up again (the lamp also goes
out in this case).
Warning:
Please pull the plug out of the socket
before you lift the pot from the base.
This prevents water from spilling onto the
electrical connections in the base and
causing a short-circuit.
For safety reasons and to avoid injuries
do not open the lid when the water is
boiling or very hot.
