USING THE KETTLE
1. Set the desired length of the power cord. Push the power cord into the groove in the base A4. Place
the base A4 on a stable, even and clean surface.
2. Fill the kettle with the required amount of water. The water level must reach at least the minimum mark
(0.3 l) and must not exceed the maximum mark (1 l). You may fill the kettle through the spout or through

4. Start the kettle by moving the switch A5 to position I (On). The power On light A8 will illuminate.
Attention:
Do not turn on the kettle if it is empty. The incorrect use of the kettle may negatively affect its
lifetime. If you accidentally turn on the kettle without water, the thermostat will, after reaching
a certain temperature, interrupt the electric circuit and the power On light A8 will turn off. The
kettle can be used again after several minutes, as soon as its stainless steel bottom has cooled
down.
5. As soon as water boils the kettle will turn off automatically and the power On light A8 will turn
off. Before taking the kettle off the base A4, check that it has turned itself off automatically. If it
has not automatically turned itself off, turn off the kettle manually by moving the switch A5 to

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the filter
• The removable filter serves to capture scale deposits and prevent them from getting into the prepared
beverage. Regularly clean the filter under running water using a fine nylon brush or submerge it
for several hours into a vinegar-water solution (recommended dilution ratio 1:2). After applying the
solution rinse the filter under clean running water.
Cleaning the kettle
• Regularly remove water scale deposits from inside the kettle based on how frequently the kettle
is used. During standard use of the kettle (3 to 5 times per day), we recommend to remove water
scale deposits:
– once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
– once every two to three months in areas with soft and medium soft water.
• To remove water scale deposits it is possible to use:
– 8% white vinegar, generally available in stores. Put ½ l of vinegar into the kettle and allow it
to settle for 2 hours without boiling. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean
water in it four to five times.
– citric acid. Boil ½ l of water in the kettle, into the boiled water add 30 g of citric acid and allow
it to settle for about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and before further use boil clean water
in it four to five times.
• To clean the exterior of the kettle use a dry cloth or a cloth dipped in a weak solution of neutral
kitchen detergent. After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth
and then wipe dry.
• To clean the base A4 use only a dry cloth.
• To clean the kettle and the base A4 never use cleaning agents causing abrasion, petrol, solvents,
etc.
