to most of our models carefully and keep them at hand.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

n Always read the instructions before first use and keep them handy

for future reference.

n Only use the kettle to heat water. Never heat other liquids in the kettle.
n Only plug the kettle into a grounded power outlet. Check that the

voltage on the rating plate of the appliance corresponds to that of
your electrical installation.

n Keep the kettle and its power cord away from any source of heat,

from any wet or slippery surface and away from sharp angles.

n Your kettle should only be used with its lid locked, with the base and

the anti-scale filter supplied.

CAUTION

This machine is intended for household use only. Any servicing other than
cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by the nearest autho­rized Krups Service Center. Visit our website at www.krupsusa.com in the

Consumer Service department for the service center nearest to you, or
contact your respective country’s Consumer Service department. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble the machine.
Repair should be done by an authorized Krups Service Center only.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A. A short power cord or a detachable power cord is provided to reduce

the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord acci­dentally.

B. Longer detachable power cords or extension cords are available and may

be used if care is exercised in their use.

C. If a long detachable power cord or an extension cord is used:

1) the marked electrical rating of the detachable power cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the ap­pliance.

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding type 3-wire cord.

3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the coun­ter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

The appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polari­zed outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in anyway.

• Krups reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components at
any time in the interests of the consumer.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

n Remove all packaging and accessories both inside and outside the

kettle.

n Adjust the length of the power cord by coiling the excess under the

base. The powercord should extend from the base through the slot in the
back. (fig. 1)

n Rinse the inside of the kettle and the limescale filter (located in the

spout) several times. Boil 2 or 3 kettles of water and discard to remove
all manufacturing residues and dust.

n Wipe the outside of the kettle and the base with a clean damp cloth. To

avoid damage to the electronics, avoid exposing the base of the kettle
or the bottom of the kettle to excess water.

USING YOUR KETTLE

1) Place the kettle base on a stable, clean surface away

from heat sources.

n The kettle, kettle base, and limescale filter are specifically designed to be

used together and other accessories not designed for use with the kettle
should not be used.

2) To open the lid:

n Press the button on the handle (fig. 2)

3) Fill the kettle with the desired amount of water (fig. 3).

n Lift the kettle off the base, then fill with water. Never use without water

or fill with liquids other than water. When filling the kettle, take care to
not expose the electrical connections at the bottom of the kettle to
water. The kettle cannot be immersed in water.

n Fill through the spout by pressing the trigger button on the handle to flip

the spout cover open. Do not fill the kettle beyond the maximum level, or
below the minimum level marked on the water level indicator. If the kettle
is overfilled, boiling water may splash outside of the kettle. The kettle
does not need to be filled to the maximum level if less water is desired.
The amount of scale that develops depends on the hardness of your
water and how frequently the kettle is used. Descale regularly, preferably
at least once a month, more often if your water is very hard.

n Always close the lid and spout cover once the kettle is filled.

. The kettle will automatically switch off and the

indicator light will go out once water boils.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DO NOT LEAVE WATER IN THE KETTLE AFTER USE.
EMPTY THE KETTLE AFTER EACH USE TO REDUCE
ACCUMULATION OF LIMESCALE DEPOSITS.

To clean the kettle and base

n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
n Avoid exposing the base or the bottom of the kettle to excess water. To

protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the base in water
or any other liquid, or place under running water to clean. Wipe clean
with a damp sponge and a small amount of gentle dishwashing liquid if
necessary. Never clean with harsh or abrasive cleaners or sponges. Dry
all parts carefully before next use.

To clean the limescale filter (fig. 5)

n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
n The limescale filter is a removable mesh filter in the spout of the kettle.

This filter does not treat or remove the scale from the water, it traps the
scale particles from being poured out.

n With very hard water, the filter may need to be cleaned as often as 10-

15 uses. If the filter is wet, run under lukewarm water to remove
particles. If filter is dry, brush gently to remove particles. To avoid
damaging the mesh, do not scrub the filter.

n To remove excessive scale, descale as described below.

DESCALING

n For best performance, descale regularly. The amount of scale that

develops depends on the hardness of your water and how frequently the
kettle is used. Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month, more
often if your water is very hard. Keep in mind that you may have to
descale more often than indicated based on your water.

To descale your kettle or filter:

n Always unplug the base and allow the kettle to cool before cleaning.
n Use plain white vinegar at room temperature. When descaling the kettle,

fill with 2 cups of white vinegar and leave for one hour without heating.
For the filter, remove the filter from the spout, and soak with 1 cup of
white vinegar for one hour in a small cup or bowl.

n Rinse kettle and filter very well with room temperature water multiple

times until completely clean. Repeat if necessary and allow to dry before
next use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF YOUR KETTLE SHOWS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE

n When you place the kettle on the base, no beep sounds and the display

remains off.

- Check that the kettle is placed flat on the base and that the base is
plugged in.

- Unplug the base, wait a few minutes, and plug in again. If there is still
no beep or no display, consult your nearest KRUPS After Sales Service
Center.

n The beep sounds continuously for 5 seconds.

- The kettle has been used without water or there is an excess of limes­cale, triggering the safety override.

- If the kettle was used without water: leave the kettle to cool for a few
minutes and allow the safety override to reset. Fill the kettle with water
and turn on, the kettle will begin to operate after the safety override has
reset (approx 15 minutes).

- In case of excess limescale, descale the kettle according to the instruc­tions in the DESCALING section.

n The water has a plastic taste:

- This usually happens when the kettle is brand new. Discard the water
you boil the first few times. If the problem persists, fill the kettle up and
add two teaspoons of baking soda. Boil the water and discard it. Rinse
the kettle.

IF YOUR KETTLE HAS FALLEN, IF IT IS LEAKING, OR IF THE
POWER CORD, PLUG OR BASE ARE VISIBLY DAMAGED

n Consult the nearest KRUPS After Sales Service Center and the

warranty included at the end of these instructions.

n Do not use the kettle. No attempt should be made to disassemble the

product or override the safety devices. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, a KRUPS After Sales Service
Center, or any person with similar qualifications.
