Thank you for choosing an appliance from the
KRUPS range which is intended exclusively for
the heating of water.
Safety recommendations
•Use your kettle only for the heating of
drinking water.
•Place the kettle and its cord on a flat heatresistant surface.
•Keep the kettle and the power cord away
from any source of heat, from any wet or
slippery surface, and from sharp edges.
•Do not fill to above the max level or below
the min level. If the kettle is over-filled,
boiling water may be ejected.
•Do not open the lid when the water is
boiling.
•Check that the electrical installation
conforms with currently applicable standards, and compatible with the power and
the voltage indicated underneath your
model.
•Connect the kettle only to a socket with an
earth incorporated.
Any connection error will nullify the
guarantee.
•Your kettle must be used only with the lid
closed, and with its associated base.
•The use of multiple sockets and/or mains
extension leads is not recommended.
•Do not place the appliance, the base, the
power cable or the plug in water or any
other liquid.
•Do not use abrasive pads for cleaning.
•To remove the anti-scale filter, take the kettle
off its base, and leave it to cool. Never
remove the filter when the appliance is full
of hot water.
•Our guarantee excludes kettles which
fail or which work badly, due to scale.
•Never use any descaling method other than
