Before Using Your Kettle - Fagor TK-600 Manual De Instrucciones

4. BEFORE USING YOUR KETTLE

Before using your kettle for the first time
or after a long period of disuse, fill to the
maximum, boil and then pour the water
away.
Also make sure you follow the indications
for use of the BRITA MAXTRA filter given in
section 5.2 of the manual.
5. HOW TO USE YOUR AUTOMATIC
KETTLE
• The kettle may be used filtering the
water in the BRITA filter unit, or it may
be used directly using tap water and the
standard lid. However, we recommend
you use the kettle with the BRITA
MAXTRA filter to reduce chlorine, scale
and impurities in the water, as this gives
all the drinks you prepare an improved
taste, appearance and aroma.
5.1 Standard functioning of the kettle
• Place the appliance on a dry, flat, stable
surface.
• Open the kettle lid by pressing the
button (2), and fill it with the desired
amount of water. The water level must
be between the "MAX 1.7L" and "0.7L"
marks.

• Switch on the kettle at the ON/OFF
Switch. The heating control lamp lights
up. The kettle switches off automatically
when the water boils. The heating
control lamp goes off. However, you can
also switch the kettle off using the ON/
OFF switch at all times.
• Remove the kettle from the power base
and pour out the hot water.
Note: As a result of its functioning, some
water can condense out of the outlet
openings in the base of the kettle and
run out over the edge of the power base.
This is normal and is perfectly harmless.
• The kettle can be switched back on
again after being allowed to cool down
for approx. 30 seconds.
5.2 Functioning with the BRITA filter unit
• Submerge the BRITA MAXTRA filter in
cold water and gently shake it to remove
any air bubbles. Then place the BRITA
MAXTRA filter (f) in its housing on the
filter support (h), push it down until it
firmly fits into the funnel, then position
the lid (a) and close it.
On placing the filter, check it is correctly
positioned in its guide.
Note: Do not leave the filter loose inside
the kettle.
• Press the START button (c) on the
BRITA Memo indicator. Four bars will
appear on the display (b), indicating the
recommended filter use time, and a dot
will flash in the bottom right corner. If
there are no bars but a flashing arrow
appears at the top of the display, the
filter needs replacing. Replace the filter
then press the START button again.
• Place the filter unit (h) inside the kettle
and fill it with cold water up to the MAX
mark only. Pour away the first two fills,
as these are only for rinsing the filter.
• The filtered water will filter into the kettle.
