Thank you for buying a Rowenta kettle. Read the
following instructions carefully, common to all
our models, and keep them in a safe place.
Use
1
Open the lid: while pressing on the locking system
(depending on model), pull from the front
towards the rear.
To close, press the lid down firmly.
• Only boil water in the kettle
2
Remove all packaging, stickers or other accessories
from the inside and outside of the kettle.
3
Adjust the length of the cord by winding it under
the base. Wedge the cord in the slot.
English
4
Place the base on a smooth surface which is clean
and cool.
Place the kettle and its base towards the back of the
working surface.
•Do not place the kettle on or near surfaces which
are slippery or hot and do not let the cord hang
over a source of heat (hot plates, gas cookers). Keep
away from children.
• The kettle must only be used with its original base.
Use
5
Fill the kettle with the required amount of
water.
You can fill the kettle through the spout to keep
the filter in good condition.
At the very least, cover the heating element
(or the bottom of the kettle) with water.
•Never fill the kettle when it is on its base.
• Do not fill it above the max. level or below
the min. level. If the kettle is overfilled,
boiling water may escape.
• Do not use without water.
• Check that the lid is closed properly to avoid
steam near the handle.
6
Place the kettle on its base.
Connect to the mains.
Check that the electrical supply is compatible
with the power and voltage indicated beneath
your model.
• Only plug the kettle into a socket with a built-in
earth connection.
• Never lift the lid whilst the water is boiling.
7
Turn it on using the switch or the trigger
handle. The kettle will turn itself off
automatically when the water is boiling.
Kettles with a metallic body: do not touch the
kettle body when the kettle is switched on and in
use; when the water is boiling and just after use
8
Check that the kettle has stopped
automatically or turn it off manually before
removing it from the base to pour the water.
The first two or three times that you use the
kettle, throw the water away because it may
contain foreign particles.
Rinse the kettle and filter separately.
• We recommend that you do not leave any water
in the kettle after use
Cleaning
To clean your kettle
Unplug it. Leave it to cool and then clean with a soft
damp sponge.
Certain models are equipped with a highly polished
bottom surface to limit scale deposits and facilitate
cleaning.
•Never immerse the kettle or its base in water, as the
electrical connections and the switch must not be allowed
to come into contact with water.
•Never use abrasive cleaning pads.
• Never rub the highly polished surface as this will damage it.
To clean the filter (depending on model)
The removable filter is made up of fabric which retains
the particles of scale and stops them from falling into
your cup when you pour. This filter does not treat the
water or remove the scale from it. It therefore preserves
all the qualities of the water.
With very hard water, the filter becomes clogged with
scale very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to
clean it regularly.
If it is wet, rinse it with water, and if it is dry, scrub it
gently. Sometimes the scale does not come away; if so,
descaling is necessary.
Descaling
Descale regularly, preferably at least once a month and
more frequently if your water is very hard.
To descale your kettle, use:
• white vinegar
- fill the kettle with half a litre of vinegar
- leave to stand for 1 hour without heating
• citric acid:
- boil half a litre of water
- add 25g of citric acid and leave to stand
for 15 minutes.
• a specific descaling agent for plastic kettles:
- follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Empty your kettle and rinse it 5 or 6 times.
Repeat if necessary.
English
To descale your filter (depending on model):
Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.
Rinse thoroughly with water before putting back in the
kettle.
•Never use descaling methods other than those
recommended
In the event of a problem
There is no visible damage to your kettle
The kettle does not work or stops before
boiling.
• Check that the kettle is plugged in properly.
• The kettle has been operated without water or scale
has accumulated, triggering the safety system to
prevent dry operation: leave the kettle to cool and
then fill with water. Use the switch to turn it on: the
kettle starts working again after about 15 minutes.
The water tastes of plastic
This usually occurs when the kettle is new. Throw away
the water the first few times you use it. If the problem
persists, fill the kettle to maximum, add two
teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Boil and throw
away the water. Rinse the kettle thoroughly.
If your kettle has fallen, if it leaks, or if the
cord, the plug or the base of the kettle are
visibly damaged
Return your kettle to your Rowenta After-Sales Service
Centre, the only organization authorized to repair it.
See warranty conditions and list of centres in the
booklet supplied with your kettle.
The type and serial number are indicated on the bottom
of your model.
• Do not use the kettle. No attempt should be made to
dismantle the appliance or the safety systems.
• If the base of your kettle is assembled with screws and if
the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its after-sales department or a person with
similar qualifications for safety reasons
• If the base does not include any screws, the power cable
cannot be replaced. If the cable, the base or the connector
are damaged, the base must be replaced completely.
• Rowenta reserves the right to modify the characteristics or
components of its kettles at any time, in the interests of
consumers.
This product has been designed for domestic use only.
Any professional use, inappropriate use or failure to
comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts
no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.
Prevention
of accidents in the home
For a child, even a slight burn may sometimes be
serious.
As they grow up, teach your children to be careful with
hot fluids in the kitchen.
Place the kettle and cord towards the back of the
working surface, out of children's reach.
If an accident occurs, rinse the burn immediately
with cold water and call a doctor if necessary.
•To avoid accidents, never carry your child or baby when
you are drinking or carrying a hot drink.
