4.  TO START THE KETTLE

Press the on/off button positioned on the top or the bottom of 
the handle according to the model. 

(fig 8)

5.  FOR KETTLES THAT FEATURE A TEMPERATURE SWITCH

if you move quickly from position   to position   after heating 

the water, the kettle has to reinitialise. If you think that this is 

taking a long time, you can add cold water to speed up the start 

of heating.

6.  THE KETTLE MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT, DEPENDING 

ON MODEL

7.  THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

as soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen 

temperature. You can stop it manually, before removing it from its 

base to pour the water. Depending on the model, the interior light 

and the indicator light will go out when the water reaches boiling 

point. Make sure that the on/off button is in the off position after 

boiling and that the kettle has switched off before removing it from 

its base.

• 

Do not leave water in the kettle after use as this quickens the 

formation of scale.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR KETTLE

Unplug it.

Let it cool down and clean it with a damp sponge.

• 

Never immerse the kettle, its base, the cord or the electric plug 

in water: the electrical connections or the switch must not 

come into contact with water.

• 

Do not use scouring pads.

CLEANING THE FILTER (ACCORDING TO THE MODEL) 

(fig 9)

The removable filter consists of a mesh to retain the particles of 

scale and prevent them falling into your cup when pouring. This 

filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water. It thus 

conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the 

filter can clog very quickly (10 to 15 uses). It is important to clean 

it regularly. If it is wet, put it under a running tap, if dry, then 

brush it gently. Sometimes the scale will not detach itself; it will 

then need descaling.

DE-SCALING

De-scale regularly, preferably at least once a month or more 

frequently if your water is very hard.
•  Using white vinegar: Fill the kettle with ½ l of vinegar. Leave to 

stand for 1 hour without heating.

•  Using citric acid: Boil ½ l of water. Add 25 g of citric acid and 

leave to stand for 15 min.

•  Using a de-scaler specifically for plastic kettles: follow the 

manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Empty your kettle and rinse 5 or 6 times. Repeat if necessary.

To de-scale your filter (according to model):

Soak the filter in white vinegar or diluted citric acid.

• 

Never use a de-scaling method other than that recommended.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS
THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

•  The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil

– Check that your kettle is properly connected.

– The kettle has been switched on without water or an 

accumulation of scale has caused the overheat cut-out 

to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. 

Descale first if scale has accumulated.

Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 

minutes.

•  The water tastes of plastic:

IF YOUR KETTLE HAS BEEN DROPPED, IF IT LEAKS OR IF THERE 

IS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE POWER CORD, THE PLUG OR THE 

BASE OF THE KETTLE

PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC ACCIDENTS

For a child, a burn or scald, even if slight, can sometimes be 

serious.

As they grow up, teach your children to beware of hot liquids to 

be found in the kitchen. Position the kettle and its supply cord well 

to the rear of the work surface, out of the reach of children.

If 

an accident does occur

, run cold water over the scald 

immediately and call a doctor if necessary.

• 

In order to avoid any accident: do not carry your child or baby 

at the same time as drinking or carrying a hot drink.
