4. Safety Instructions
To avoid the risk of fatalities from
electric shocks:
• Make certain that the base with
the electrical connections never comes
into contact with water! Let the base
become completely dry before
using if it has accidentally become
wet.
• Only use the hot water kettle with
the supplied base .
• Make sure that the power cord never
becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cord such that it cannot
be pinched or otherwise damaged.
Should the power cord or the power
plug ever become damaged, have
them replaced by customer service
before continuing to use the device.
• Always pull the plug out of the power
socket after use. Switching off the
device is not sufficient because the
device receives power as long as the
power plug is connected to the
socket.
To prevent the risk of fire or injury:
• Always heat water with a closed lid
, otherwise the automatic cut-out
mechanism doesn’t work. Boiling water can then spray out over the edge.
• Hot steam clouds may be released.
The kettle is also very hot during
operation. Wear oven mits.
• Make certain that the device rests
firmly and vertically before switching
it on. Boiling water can cause an
unstabile kettle to fall over.

• Never leave a heat-generating device
unattended! Never let children or frail
persons operate the device unsupervised because they may not always
properly appreciate the possible
dangers.
5. Starting Up the Device
• Before starting up the device, make
certain that ...
– the device, plug and power cable
are in good working order and...
– all packaging materials have been
removed from the device.
• Fill the device with water up to the
MAX mark and let it come to a full
boil once – as described in the next
section. Pour out this water.
6. Boiling Water
Danger! Never place the electrical
base near water – life-threatening
danger!
You should only heat as much water
as you need directly. That helps you save
electricity, water and time:
• Lift away the kettle for filling!
• Open the lid by pressing down on
the unlocking button .
• Hold the kettle vertically while
filling. Only then will the level indicator on the side correctly indicate
the water volume.
Fill the kettle ...
– at least to the MIN mark so that the
device does not overheat,
– no higher than the MAX mark so that
no boiling water spills out.
• First close the lid ...
• then place the kettle on the base
until it sits straight on the base .
• Set the desired water temperature
using the temperature control .
To bring the water to a boil, you must
set the temperature controller to
the MAX position.
• Now insert the power plug into the
power socket ...
• and press the ON/OFF switch down
until it snaps in.
• The operating light indicates that
the device is now heating up.

Temperature regulator in the boiling
range:
• The devices switches off automatically
and the operating light goes out as
soon as the water is at a full boil.
The ON/OFF switch springs out.
In order to keep the water warm after
bringing it to a boil, set the temperature
regulator in the keep warm range.
Press the ON/OFF switch down, until
it snaps in.
Temperature regulator in the keep warm
range:
The left end of the keep warm range
indicates the lower temperature. The
right end of the keep warm range
indicates the higher temperature.
(The water does not start boiling in
the keep warm range!).
• After reaching the desired temperature,
the appliance switches off the heating
process. The ON/OFF switch and the
operating lights remain switched
on.
Because the device is equipped with
a heat maintenance function, the
device automatically begins reheating
as soon as the water temperature
falls below the set temperature.
The appliance heats until the desired
temperature is reached. Make sure
that the appliance does not automatically switch on to the keep warm
function. Therefore, do not leave
the appliance unsupervised!
• As soon as the kettle is lifted from
the base , the ON/OFF switch
jumps out and the operating lights
switch off.
• In order to halt the heating process,
push the ON/OFF switch up again.
The operating light goes out then
as well.
Avoid setting the temperature
regulator in the transition range,
as the water can start boiling on
account of varying filling levels.
Warning!: Pull the power plug from
the socket before lifting the kettle
from the base . This prevents any
water splashing out from contacting
the electrical connections in the
base, which could cause a short
circuit.
For safety reasons, the lid should
not be opened while the water is
boiling or is very hot. Otherwise
there is a risk of injury.
7. Cleaning and Care
Danger!: Do not open any part of
the housing. There are no operating
elements inside. An open housing
can create the risk of a
life-threatening electrical shock.
Never submerse any parts of the
device in water or other liquids! This
can create the risk of a
life-threatening electrical shock if
residual liquid comes into contact
with powered components.
