Thermal safety cut-out
The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating should
the appliance be erroneously switched on
without any water, or if the heating plate
is calcifi ed. Once the safety cut-out has
switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to
cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled
before it is switched on again.
Before using for the fi rst time
To clean the kettle, boil and discard the fi rst

container.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals.
