models:anydifferenceisclearlyidentied.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
Should you accidentally let the kettle operate without
water, the boil-dry protection will automatically switch off
the display. This is a normal protection device and the

thekettletocooldownbeforellingwithcoldwater.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully wipe the outside of the appliance to remove
any dust that may have accumulated. Dry with a dry
cloth. Do not immerse the supply cord in water or other
liquids.Ifyouareusing the kettle for the rst time, it is

thelid.Alternatively,thekettlemaybelledthrough
the spout. The water level should not exceed the
maximumlevelorsitbelowtheminlevel.Toolittle
waterwill causethekettleto switchoffbeforethe
water has boiled.
The maximum capacity of the kettle is 1.7L. Do
not add water over the maximum level, as it
may spill out of the spout when boiling. Ensure that

kettle will shut off automatically and enter into energy-
saving mode after being in stand-by mode for 5 minutes
when the actual water temperature decreases to less
than 45°C.
7. If the temperature cannot be set, this means that
the water in the kettle is hotter than the desired
temperature.Youcanturnoffthekettleatanytime
by pressing the cancel button.
The selected temperature can be changed at
any time while the kettle is heating up. While
the kettle is heating up, the current temperature

kettle as boiling water may cause scalds.
Open the lid carefully while the water in the kettle is
hot.
Below 45° C, the kettle automatically shuts
down and goes into “standby” mode.
If the container is removed and re-introduced before
the heating process is over, the settings stay active
for a few minutes.
