Dear Customer,

g

Please read these operating instruc­tions through carefully. Above all
please follow the safety instructions on
the first few pages of these operating
instructions! Please keep the operating
instructions for future reference. If
applicable, pass these instructions on to
the next owner of the appliance.

1 Safety Instructions

• Before using the kettle for the first
time, please note that you should only
connect it to a mains supply with the
same voltage as that stated on the rat­ing plate (Figure 1/K).

• The Express Kettle is only to be used
under supervision. Never place or use it
on a hot surface or near a naked flame.

• Take particular care with children.

• Do not use the kettle if the mains lead
is in any way defective. Check it from
time to time to ensure that it is not
damaged.

• If the lead or plug are damaged, they
may only be repaired or replaced by
the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
customer service, or an authorised
electrician. Improper repairs put your

safety at risk.

• High temperatures are created when
electric kettles are used, these may
cause burns if the appliance is handled
carelessly. For this reason, you should
only ever take hold of the kettle by the
handle provided (Figure 1/G).

• Never use the lead to pull the plug out
of the socket.

• Never immerse the appliance in water.

• Make sure the lead and plug are dry
before the kettle is plugged in or
switched on.

• Never use the kettle with wet hands.

• Do not move the appliance whilst it is
on.

• Caution: Overfilling the kettle may
lead to boiling water splashing out of
the kettle. To avoid this hazard, never
fill with more than 1.5 l water.

• Protect the appliance and the mains
lead from heat and moisture.

• Only ever use the kettle for heating
water. Never put any foods or food
additives in the kettle. Never heat milk
or soup in the kettle. Do not heat any­thing in the water in the kettle.

• Electrolux cannot accept any liability
for the consequences of improper use
or operation.

• Never use the kettle with another base.

• Never use the appliance out of doors.

Operating Instructions

Before using your new kettle for the
first time, you should clean the outside
with a damp cloth for reasons of
hygiene. We recommend you to pour
away the water from the first boiling.

• Open the lid and fill the appliance with
water (Figure 2).

• Caution: Never fill with less than the
minimum quantity of water of 0.25 l,
or with more than the maximum quan­tity of water of 1.5 l (Figure 3). If the
kettle is overfilled there is a risk that
boiling water will splash out of the
kettle.

• To switch on the appliance, press the
ON/OFF switch lever (Figure 4) down­wards. The power indicator lights up
and indicates to you that the appliance
is switched on.

• Important: Before you switch on the
appliance, make sure that the lid is fit­ted properly as the automatic switch
off device only works correctly if the
lid is shut properly (Figure 5).

• For technical reasons condensation
may form under the handle. This con­densation will not affect the function
of the appliance.

Beeper (only SWK 780)

Depending on the model, the appliance
is equipped with a beeper that works
as follows:

• When the water is boiling the kettle
starts to beep, it switches off automat­ically and the power indicator goes
out.

• The beeper also sounds if the kettle has
been put on to boil and is interrupted,
either by removing the appliance from
the base, or by switching it off using
the ON/OFF switch.

Filter (only SWK 780)

Depending on the model, the appliance
is equipped with a filter (Figure 1/L).
The filter can be removed.

The filter retains particles of scale that
may be present in the kettle. If your
kettle is heavily scaled, you must des­cale it. Please carry out descaling as
described in the "Descaling" section.

Safety Functions

Safety has the highest priority during
the design of Electrolux appliances.
Your kettle has the following safety
functions:

• Automatic Switch Off Device. The
appliance switches itself off automati­cally and the power indicator goes out
when the water is boiling.

• Protection Against Boiling Dry. Pro-
tects the appliance against overheating
if switched on without water. Heating
is stopped automatically. Leave the
appliance to cool for approx. 5­10 minutes prior to using again.

• Protection Against Overheating.
Should you kettle overheat, it switches
off automatically. Leave to cool for
approx. 5-10 minutes prior to using
again.

• You Express Kettle has a fully thermally
insulated housing (Figure 1/C). This
– prevents the hot water in the appli-

ance cooling down too quickly,

– and protects you from burns when

the housing is touched

CAUTION: The lid and the upper part of
the appliance will become hot and
should not be touched.

Cleaning and Care

• Always disconnect the kettle from the
mains supply before cleaning.

• Never wipe over the plug with a damp
cloth.

• Never clean the kettle and base unit
under running water or immerse it in
washing-up water.

• Rinse the kettle occasionally with clear
water. Clean the exterior of the appli­ance with a damp cloth. Never use
caustic or abrasive cleaners.

Descaling

The appliance should be regularly des­caled depending on the hardness of
the water. Indications that the kettle
should be descaled are:

– the kettle takes longer to boil,
– the kettle makes more noise when

heating the water,

– visible scale deposits in the appli-

ance.

For descaling please use a commer­cially available and, as far as possible,
environmentally acceptable descaler in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

First fill with water, then add a com­mercially available descaler, do not use
too high a dose.
Under no circumstances bring the
solution to the boil, otherwise it may
boil over.

Following descaling, thoroughly rinse
the kettle with clear water. Never pour
descaler into enamelled sinks and
never reuse it.

2 For the Sake of the

Environment

Do not simply throw the packaging
away. Cardboard packaging can be
taken to your local waste paper collec­tion point. Deposit plastic bags made
of polyethylene (PE) at PE collection
points. Please ask you local authority
for the address of your nearest recy­cling depot.

Customer Service

The highest quality requirements are
placed on our appliances. However,
should a malfunction occur for which
you cannot find any information in the
operating instructions, please contact
your dealer or Electrolux customer ser­vice.
