from water splashes and any sources of heat.
Note: Kettle is only to be used with the base provided.
3 Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. (fig 3a and 3b)
You can fill it through the spout, which ensures better maintenance of the filter.
Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
Do not fill it above the maximum level, or below the minimum level. If the kettle is too full, boiling water may
spill out.

pour the water. The indicator light will go out when the water reaches boiling point. Make sure that the on/off
button is in the off position after boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it from its base.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your kettle.
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean the outside with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical connections or the
switch must not come into contact with water.
Do not use scouring pads.
Cleaning the filter. (fig 5)
The removable filter consists of mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them from falling into your
cup when pouring. This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus conserves all the
qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to
clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will
not detach itself; it will then need descaling.

USE

To remove the anti-scale filter, lift the kettle off its base and allow to cool. Never remove the filter when the
appliance is full of hot water. Open the lid then pull the filter out of the spout and clean it.

DESCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very hard.
To de-scale your kettle:
Using white vinegar:
- fill the kettle with 19 Oz of vinegar,
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
- boil 19 Oz of water,
- add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
Empty the kettle and rinse it out 5 or 6 times. Do it again if necessary.
To de-scale your filter:
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

There is no evident damage to your kettle.
The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil.
- Check that your kettle is properly connected.
- The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the unit to overheat:
allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
Operate your kettle for the first time using water to rinse it. Make the operation 3 to 5 times.

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle
and its supply cord well to the back of the work surface, out of the reach of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if necessary.
