Make sure that the electric socket that you are using is suitably earthed.
Never allow parts carrying live voltage to come into contact with water: it may cause a short circuit!!!
(follow all the safety instructions specied before).
Be careful: never keep the on/off button (9) pushed during or after every boiling session.
Be careful: never operate the kettle without water.
Automatic shutdown
The kettle is equipped with a system that automatically switches off the device shortly after the water is
boiled.
If warm water is desired, the heating process can be stopped anytime by pulling the on/off button (9). The
shutdown takes place automatically as the kettle is removed from its base (5).
For functional reasons, some condensations may appear at the bottom of the on/off button (9), on the base
(5) and on the connector (5a). This happens for technical reasons and does not bear on the safety of the
device.
Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating: if the device is accidentally switched on empty, this
system automatically switches off the device. The device will restart its normal functions in around 10
minutes.
If the rst thermostat protection would not function due to improper use, another temperature limiter
ensures protection.
Cleaning and maintenance
CAUTION: Always disconnect the kettle from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Before cleaning, be sure the kettle is cold.
Clean the exterior surface of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth to preserve its original highly polished
nish. Dry and polish with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring agents of any kind on the interior or exterior of the kettle.
Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or other liquid, and be sure that the electric kettle plug
(6) and connector (5a) of the power base (5) is kept dry.
a) Filter (7)
Scale, or calcium, is a natural substance that forms when hard water is boiled. The lter serves to retain
the calcium in the water kettle. It is important to clean the lter regularly. The lter clips into the spout
and can be removed by pulling it up from the spout. It can be cleaned by gently brushing with a soft brush
under running water.
ATTENTION: This operation can be performed only when the kettle is not working and when the kettle
has cooled down. DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER WHEN VERA KETTLE IS WORKING AND WHEN THE SUFACE
IS HOT. BOILED WATER AND STEAM CAN BURN!!!
b) Decalcication
Decalcication refers to removing the calcium deposits which may form in the interior metal parts of the
kettle. TO GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR VERA KETTLE, DECALCIFY YOUR UNIT FROM TIME TO
TIME. Frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the kettle. We suggest
to do it every 100-200 boiling cycles, or every two weeks or every time you see white spots on the inter-
nal bottom surface of the kettle: it means that there is limestone sediment. We suggest use of a kettle
descaler in order to dissolve these chalky deposits or lime build up. Follow the instructions on the descaler
