5. TO START THE KETTLE
When the kettle is placed on the base, all the lights illuminate. The water temperature in the
kettle is displayed on-screen.
TO HEAT WATER:
2 options:
– If you wish to start a boil cycle, press the button
212°F appears directly on the screen, the kettle bips and starts heating the water.
The kettle bips twice once water temperature reaches 212°F.
If you wish to select the temperature – 5 possible settings: 105°F - 155°F -
175°F - 195°F - 212°F – press the key until it displays the temperature you
wish to select. The selected temperature blinks twice, then stays still. The kettle
bips and the kettle starts heating the water.
You can monitor the live temperature of the water on the screen.
Once the selected temperature is reached, the kettle bips twice and stops heating.
KEEP WARM MODE
You can use the keep warm mode to keep the water at a selected temperature during 30
minutes.
Once the temperature has been selected, a long push on will activate the keep warm mode.
The logo appears at the top of the screen.
You can also start the keep warm mode once the temperature has been reached. Do a long
push on the key. The logo will appear at the top of the screen.
If you wish to turn off the keep warm mode, just press the key.
PLEASE NOTE
The long push will activate the keep warm only if you push the button less than 25 seconds
after the end of the boiling cycle, otherwise the screen will switch off.
PLEASE NOTE
The screen automatically switches off after 25 seconds – unless you have selected the keep
warm mode – but pressing any key will turn the screen on again anytime.
If you select 212°F and activate the keep warm function, the kettle keeps the temperature
to 200°F during 30mn.
If the temperature of the water in the kettle is higher than the temperature you select when
pressing , the heating won’t start.
For instance, if the water temperature is 195°F, you won’t be able to launch the heating by
selecting 105°F, 155°F or 175°F.
Recommended temperatures:
175°F : green tea
185°F : white tea
195°F : oolong tea
200°F : french press
212°F : black tea boil
6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY
As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.
Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the formation of scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Although all teas actually come from the same bush (camellia sinensis), their taste and type
vary according to their region of production, method of processing (different fermenting,
and drying processes and rolling techniques exist) and grade (whole or broken leaves,
fannings and dust).
– Green tea: Rolled dried leaves, which are chopped and lightly roasted to prevent them
from fermenting. Leave to brew for 3 minutes only. Green teas are subtle- avoured, often
bitter, and very pale in colour.
– Black tea: Made from older leaves that are rolled, dried and fermented for a considerable
period. Brew for 5 minutes (or longer for Turkish or Russian tea). Gives a powerful taste
and a superb coppery colour.
– Oolong tea: Midway between green and black tea. Slightly fermented. Brew for 7 minutes.
Lighter in taste and paler than black colour.
Although purists drink tea plain, you may prefer to add cold milk to your cup before pouring
in the tea (with Indian or Ceylon tea), or add sugar and then lemon (with green or avoured
teas).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE
Unplug it.
Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.
Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug in water: the electrical
connections or the switch must not come into contact with water.
Do not use scouring pads.
CLEANING THE FILTER*
The removable lter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of scale and prevent them
falling into your cup when pouring. This lter neither treats nor removes the hardness of
the water. It thus conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the lter can
clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean it regularly. If it is wet, put it under
a running tap, if dry, then brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will
then need descaling.
ENGLISH
DE-SCALING
De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more frequently if your water is very
hard. Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.
To de-scale your kettle:
Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:
– Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,
– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.
Using citric acid:
– Boil ½ litre of water,
– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.
*depending on model
9
Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.
To de-scale your lter*
Soak the lter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.
IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE
The kettle does not work
– Check that your kettle is properly connected.
– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused
the overheat cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and ll it with water. Descale rst
if scale has accumulated.
Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE IS VISIBLE DAMAGE
TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE BASE OF THE KETTLE
Return your kettle to your After-Sales Service Centre, only they are authorised to carry out
repairs. See the guarantee conditions and list of centres in the booklet supplied with your
kettle. The type and serial number are shown on the bottom of your kettle. This guarantee
covers manufacturing defects and domestic use only. Any breakage or damage resulting
from failure to comply with the instructions for use is not covered by the guarantee.
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the characteristics or components
of its kettles at any time in the interests of the consumer.
Do not use the kettle if damaged. No attempt must be made to dismantle the
kettle or its safety devices.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-
sales service centre or a similarly qualied person, in order to avoid any danger.
PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS
For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to be found in the kitchen.
Position the kettle and its supply cord well to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach
of children.
If an accident does occur, run cold water over the scald immediately and call a doctor if
necessary.
In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby at the same time as drinking
or carrying a hot drink.
