Safety instructions
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Ensure that the base with the electrical connections NEVER comes into
►
contact with water! Ensure that the base is completely dry before use,
especially if it has accidentally become wet.
► Use the kettle only with the supplied base.
► Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation.
Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
► To avoid risks, arrange for defective plugs and/or cables to be replaced
at once by qualifi ed technicians or our Customer Service Department.
► After use, ALWAYS remove the plug from the mains power socket. Switching
the appliance off is not suffi cient, because the appliance is under power for
as long as the plug is connected to the power socket.
► Before use check the appliance for signs of visible external damage. Do
not put into operation an appliance that is damaged or has been dropped.
► Repairs should only be carried out by authorized specialist companies
or by the Customer Service department. Incompetent repairs can result in
signifi cant risks for the user. In addition warranty claims become void.
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Heat water only with the lid closed, otherwise the automatic switch-off cannot
function. Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
► Hot steam clouds may be released. The kettle also becomes very hot during
use. It is always best to wear oven mitts when handling the kettle.
► Ensure that the appliance is stood stably and vertically before switching it
on. Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.
► This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children)
with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or defi ciences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how
the appliance is to be used.

Disposal of the packaging
The packaging protects the appliance against transport damage. The packaging
materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness
and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.
The recirculation of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw material and
reduces the amount of waste generated. Dispose of packaging material that is
no longer needed according to the regionally established regulations.
NOTICE
If possible, preserve the appliance's original packaging during the warranty
►
period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can pack the appliance
ideally for its return.

Boiling water
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Never place the electrical base 3 close to water – this would be a
►
potentially fatal risk!
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Always use freshly drawn water. Do not consume any water that has
already stood in the kettle for longer than one hour. Do not reboil water
that has cooled down. Always pour old water away. Microbes could have
formed in it!
NOTE
Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch 2 is turned to “O” when the
►
mains plug is unplugged and the device is standing on the base 3.
If not, the device could heat up unintendedly as soon as the mains plug is
plugged in again.
1) Lift the kettle off of the base when fi lling it!
2) Press the unlocking button 1 and open the lid.
NOTICE
► When fi lling it, hold the kettle upright. Only in this way can you correctly
read the markings on the scale 5.
3) Fill the kettle...
– to at least the MIN mark, so that the appliance does not overheat,
– to no higher than the MAX mark, so that boiling water cannot spill out.
4) First close the lid and then place the kettle on the base 3 such that it sits
securely on the base 3.
5) Now insert the plug into the mains power socket.
6) Press the ON/OFF switch 2 downwards so that it engages.
7) The integrated indicator light in the ON/OFF switch 2 indicates that the
appliance is now heating up.
8) The appliance switches itself off and the control lamps go out as soon as
the water is on the boil. The ON/OFF switch 2 springs out.
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► For safety reasons, the lid should not be opened while the water is boiling
or is very hot. There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.

SWKCD 3000 A1
WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
First remove the plug from the mains power socket before you lift the carafe
►
from the base 3. This avoids the risk that any water splashing out could
come into contact with live electrical connections in the base 3, which
could cause a short circuit.
INFORMATION
This appliance is fi tted with an overheating protector: if the appliance is
►
switched on accidentally, without any water in the kettle, the appliance
automatically switches itself off .
If, for example due to a non-closed lid the appliance boils dry, the appliance
switches off automatically.
In such cases fi rst allow the appliance to cool down before using it again.
Cleaning and Care
RISK - ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Before cleaning, ALWAYS remove the plug from the mains power socket!
►
There is the risk of receiving an electric shock!
► Do not open any part of the housing. There are no user-serviceable elements
inside. An open housing will create the risk of a potentially fatal electrical
shock.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! This would
increase the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock should liquids
come into contact with powered components.
GB
WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!
► Let the appliance cool suffi ciently before cleaning it. Risk of Burns!

replacing the pourer sieve”).
■ Use a descaler designed for household appliances (e.g. for coff ee machines).
Proceed as detailed in the instructions provided for the use of the decalcifying
agent.
■ After descaling, rinse the appliance with lots of clean water.
Removing/replacing the pourer sieve
1) Open the lid.
2) Pull the pourer sieve 6 upwards out of its holder.
3) Clean the pourer sieve 6 with a lightly moistened dishcloth and under running
