Using your appliance for the
first time
• Before first use, rinse the interior of your
kettle and boil 1 or 2 lots of water.
• Place the base of your kettle on a stable
surface and plug it in.
• Remove the kettle from its base and fill it via
the pouring spout (e) (1) or via the open lid
by pressing the lid opening control (d) and
lifting the rear section (2).
• Keep the water level within the Maxi-
mum (1.7 l) and Minimum (0.3 l)
markings on the indicator (h) (1).

any spilling, escape of steam or faulty
operation. Automatic locking is indicated by
means of a « click » and the opening control
(d) (3) pops up.
• Switch on by positioning the switch (a) to
«I», and the indicator light (b) will come on
(4).
. Important:
• The appliance switches off automatically
once the water reaches boiling point, the
switch (a) returns to position «0» and the
indicator light (b) goes out (5).
• You can also stop the kettle at any time
during the heating cycle by setting the
switch (a) to position «0».
• The appliance is protected by a safety device
which regulates the heating cycle if the
kettle is switched on with too little water or
no water at all. Pour cold water into the
appliance, or wait for a few minutes to
restart the heating cycle.
Limescale filter
(depending on model)
Depending on the hardness of the local water,
a layer of limescale may form inside your
kettle. If this happens, when the water boils,
particles of limescale may be found in the
water you pour. To prevent this from
occurring, we have equipped the kettle with a
special limescale filter which retains the
particles of scale when you pour water.
