INTRODUCTION

Thankyouforpurchasingourproduct.

In doing so, you have opted for an effective high-

performance appliance.

If the instructions on the correct use of this appliance

are not observed, the manufacturer shall assume no

responsibility for any resulting damage.

The operating instructions may refer to different

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

display will switch on in few minutes. If this occurs, allow

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

recommended that you clean it before use by boiling a

fullkettleofwatertwiceanddiscardingthewater.

OPERATION OF YOUR KETTLE

Usethekettleonlywithitsincludedbase.

1. Tollthekettle,removeitfromthepowerbaseand

openthelidbypressingthelidopeningbutton,ll

with the desired amount of water, and then close

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

the lid is rmly in place before connecting the plug

into a power outlet.

2. Positionthekettleonthepowerbase.

3. Connect the plug into a power outlet.

4. Press the temperature setting button to set the

temperature to 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 or 100P.

in 100P mode, the kettle keeps on boiling the

water for 10 minutes, then stops. Use this function

to delete chlorine odor or sterilize water. The display will

alwaysshowthetemperatureofthewaterinsidethejug.

5. Press START/STOP button.

6. When the water has reached the selected

temperature, the kettle ring and automatically

Automatic keep-warm function doesn’t work at

100°C.

After nish keeping warm, the LCD display will

indicate the actual water temperature and the

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

lights up.

Be careful when pouring the water from your

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.

Ensure the switch is free of obstructions

and the lid is rmly closed: the kettle could

not properly turn off if the switch is constrained or

if the lid is open.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet

before cleaning.

1. Wipe the outside of the body with a damp cloth or

cleaner.Neveruseatoxiccleaner.
