Do not use the kettle if the electric lead
is in any way defective. Check it from
time to time to ensure that it is not
damaged. If any damage should be visible, arrange for the lead to be replaced
at once. Never use the kettle if it has
been dropped or if it shows any visible
signs of damage. Contact one of the
Electrolux Customer service centres or
an authorised dealer for repair. Repairs
to electrical appliances may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Any
improper repairs or tampering may seriously endanger the user.
High temperatures are created when
electric kettles such as this one are used,
and these can cause burns if the appliance is handled carelessly. For this reason, you should only ever take hold of
the kettle by the handle provided (Fig. 1/
F).
Make sure the lead does not dangle,
especially while the kettle is in operation, as there is a danger of its beeing
tipped over.

food additives in it, and do not use it to
boil milk or soup! Do not boil anything
in the water in the kettle! Electrolux
cannot accept any legal liability for the
consequences of improper use or operation.
This appliance complies with the following EC directives:
Place the kettle on an firm surface. Take the
mains plug out of the plug holder. The lead
can be unwound from the appliance base to
the required length. Plug the appliance into
the mains. After use, the plug can be reinserted in the plug holder to save space.
Turn on the appliance by setting the On/Off
switch (Fig. 1/A) to the I position.
Operation
Before using your new kettle for the first
time, for hygienic reasons, you should clean
it inside and out with a damp cloth. Fill the
appliance with water. The minimum
amount is 0.25 litre (the min mark). Fill at
least enough water to cover the heating
coil. The water-level-markings on the inside
will give you additional help. The maximum
fill is 1.0 (the max mark).
Caution:
or more than the maximum. If this kettle is
overfilled, there is a danger of boiling water
spraying out or running over.
Important:
ance properly, as the automatic switch-off
device can only work properly if the lid is
properly shut. This is why you should always
close the lid before switching on (Fig. 2).
A double measure of safety
Automatic switch-off device
Your kettle will switch off automatically
and the switch will jump back to 0 when
the water boils.
If you wish to interrupt the boiling process
before the kettle switches off automatically, simply move the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/
A) to 0. If you wish to reheat the water,
just move the switch back to I and wait
for the water to start boiling again. The
kettle will switch off automatically again.
Protection against boiling dry
All Electrolux kettles and hot-water boilers
are fitted with a device which switches
them off if there is no water inside. This
protects them from the overheating which
would result from switching them on when
empty or from boiling dry with the lid open.
Should your kettle ever accidentally be
switched on with no water inside, it is automatically protected from overheating. The
heating process is automatically interrupted. However, in this case, the On/Off
switch (Fig. 1/A) does not jump back to the
0 position, for which reason it is necessary
for you to set the switch to the 0 position
and to leave the appliance to cool for about
5-10 minutes. As a further safety measure,
in the event of the operating temperature
rising too high as a result of improper use,
the temperature cutout will melt through,
and the power supply will be cut off.
Because of this additional safety feature,
Never fill less than the minimum

your Electrolux kettle has the best possible
protection against overheating. In this situation, the appliance should be send to an
Electrolux service centre.
Cleaning and care
Disconnect the lead from the electricity
supply every time before cleaning the
kettle.
This kettle is very easy to look after. The
interior should be occasionally rinsed
out with clear water and descaled at
regular intervals as described below. The
outside should simply be wiped with a
damp cloth and dried thoroughly. Do not
use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products.
Never use a damp cloth on the lead or
plug. Make sure every time before using
the kettle that the lead and plug are dry.
Descaling
If your tap water is relatively hard, you
will need to descale the kettle at regular intervals. For this purpose, use a good proprietary brand of liquid descaling agent and
follow the instructions on the pack.
When descaling, please follow these instructions:
First fill the kettle with water and than
add the descaling agent.
Do not give your kettle an overdose of
descaling agent!
Take care when the water comes to the
boil, the mixture may froth up!
After descaling, rinse the kettle out
twice with clear water.
For the sake of the environment
Do not simply throw the packaging away,
but follow these instructions:
Cardboard packaging material can be
handed in as salvage at your local
wastepaper collection point.
If the following packaging materials
have been used:
Plastic bags made of polyethylene (PE)
can be handed in your local PE collection point.
Padding made of expanded polystyrene

Please ask your local authority for the
address of your nearest recycling depot.
