Use

Before first use

1. Remove any stickers from the kettle and clean the outside with a damp cloth.
2. Remove the scale filter behind the spout (Fig. B) and wash it under running water.

5. Close the lid, place the kettle on its base (Fig. F) and push the lever down to turn it on (Fig. G).
   
   
6. Wait for the water to boil, then empty the kettle, disposing of the boiling water safely. Repeat this at least three times.

Operation

If necessary, wind the cord under the base (7 and 8 - Fig. A).

Always use the handle (4 - Fig. A) to lift the kettle and pour out the water.

1. Remove the kettle from the base (Fig. D), press the button to open the lid (Fig. E) and fill with water, using the level indicator (5 - Fig. A) as a reference. Avoid filling it with too much or too little water as indicated by the maximum or minimum level indicators.

4. Push the lever downwards to switch the kettle on. The LED lights up and becomes white (Fig. G).
5. When the water boils, the lever automatically moves into the OFF position and the LED switches off. Pour out the water.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the outside surfaces of the kettle in good condition, clean them regularly after use, after allowing them to cool down.

Pour the cleaning product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Improper use (risk of damage to surfaces):

• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic scourers).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

Cleaning the filter

1. Open the lid (Fig. E) and remove the filter (Fig. B).
2. Wash the filter under running water with the aid of a soft brush.
3. Put the filter back in position behind the spout (Fig. C).

Descaling

Improper use: Risk of damaging the appliance

Do not use descaling products for cleaning bathrooms or kitchens or products that contain perfumes.

Regularly removing scale deposits from inside the kettle will prolong your kettle's life, ensuring maximum performance and energy savings.

The kettle can be descaled using specific descaling products. Follow the descaler instructions.

Alternatively, you can use common household vinegar. Proceed as follows:

1. Fill the kettle with water (1 liter) and boil it.
2. Add white vinegar (0.1 to 0.5 liters depending on the amount of scale).
3. Leave it to act overnight.
4. Empty the kettle.
5. Fill the kettle with water and boil it. Empty the kettle, disposing of the water safely. Repeat this at least twice.

Tips and suggestions
Frequent use or very hard water increases the risk of scale. Scale build-up can cause the kettle to switch off during use before the water has boiled. Boiling times could also increase. If the kettle is used daily, descale it more frequently. If the water is hard, clean more frequently or use purified water.
