•   Open the lid by pressing the 

corresponding button/s and fill with the 

required quantity of water. The water 

level should be between the ‘MAX’ and 

‘MIN’ marks.

•

Replace the lid and make sure it is 

properly fitted, otherwise the kettle will not 

switch itself off when the water boils.

•   Place the kettle on the base, plug into the 

mains and turn the on-off switch to the ‘I’ 

position. The kettle ON pilot light will come 

on.

•   The kettle will turn itself off when the water 

inside reaches boiling point.

•   Do not add more water to the kettle while 

it is switched on. 

•   Do not leave water in the kettle for long 

periods or overnight.

Warning: 

The kettle is equipped with a 

thermal safety mechanism that protects it 

against overheating in the absence of water 

or if the water level is below the indicated 

minimum mark (‘MIN’). When this happens, 

the kettle switches itself off automatically. 

Unplug the appliance from the mains, 

turn the on-off switch to ‘0’ and leave to 

cool before filling with water once again. 

When the kettle has cooled, it should work 

normally. If this is not the case, contact an 

authorisedtechnical assistance service.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After use, unplug the appliance from the 

mains and leave to cool.

Clean the base and the outside of the kettle 

with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Do not use chemical products or abrasive 

detergents that may scratch the plastic 

coating.

Protect the connection base, cable and 

plug against humidity. 

After repeated use, lime deposits may form 

on the inside of the kettle and interfere with 

its correct working. These deposits can 

be removed using any kettle decalcifying 

products available on the market.

If you prefer, you can also decalcify your 

kettle with white vinegar. To do so, follow 

the instructions outlined below:

•  Place three cups of vinegar in the 

kettle and then fill with water. Leave the 

water-vinegar mixture to soak overnight 

(without boiling).

•   The next morning, pour away the 

watervinegar mixture, fill the kettle with 

fresh water and then empty once again. 

Repeat this operation. The kettle is now 

ready for use.

•   We recommend that you decalcify your 

kettle once every 4 weeks if used on a 

daily basis.
