USING THE APPLIANCE
Position the kettle and its supply cord well
to the rear of the work surface.
Do not place the kettle on or near slippery or
hot surfaces or allow the cord to hang above
a source of heat (cooking hob, gas cooker).
Your kettle must be used only with the base
belonging to it.
You can fill via the spout, which helps keep
the filter clear. Always fill with sufficient water
to cover the heating element (or the bottom
of the kettle).
Never fill the kettle while it is on its base.
The kettle must always be used with its own
ant-scale filter.
Do not fill above the maximum level or below
the minimum. If the kettle is overfilled, the
water may boil over. Do not use without
water. Check that the lid is properly closed
before use.
4. Place the kettle on its base. Plug into the wall
socket (fig. 6).
Connect the kettle only to an earthed
socket.
If you need to use an extension cord, this
must have an earthed socket and be suitably
rated. Ensure that the cord and extension do
not trail to avoid any falls.
Do not lift the lid while the water is boiling.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use.
1. To open the lid, depending on model:
•Lid with assisted opening: press on the latch
system and the lid will lift automatically.
(fig. 2).
•Lid with automatic opening: press on the
button at the top of the handle (fig. 3).
•Locking lid: turn the lid anti-clockwise to unlock
and lift off (fig. 4).
To close, press firmly on the lid or, for the
locking lid, turn clockwise.
2. Place the base on a flat, stable, heat-resistant
clean and cool surface.
3. Fill the kettle with the desired quantity of water
(fig. 5).
Do not open the lid while the water is
boiling. 5. To turn the kettle on, press on the on/off button
at the top or bottom of the handle, depending
on the model (fig. 7).
6. Depending on the model, an indicator light may
come on.
7. The kettle will turn off automatically as soon as
the water comes to the boil. You can stop the
kettle manually before lifting it off its base to
pour. Depending on the model, the indicator
light will go out when the kettle switches off or
is switched off. Ensure that the kettle is
switched off before lifting off its base.
On first use we recommend that you discard
the first amount of boiled water as it may
contain some dust. Rinse the kettle and filter
separately.
BEFORE USE
1. Remove all packaging, self-adhesive labels and
any accessories from inside and outside the
kettle.
2. Adjust the length of the mains cord by winding
it under the base. Squeeze the cord into the
notch. (fig 1)
