press the   key until it displays the temperature you wish to select. The selected temperature 

blinks 4 times, accompanied with a long beep. The kettle then shows the real water temperature 

and starts heating the water.

After 90°C, the kettle will boil water, stop, then restart boiling water. This circulation will happen 

several times and continue to the end of the heating process. 

KEEP WARM MODE

You can use the keep warm mode to keep the water at your desired temperature during 30 minutes.

Once the temperature has been selected, a long push on  or 

 will activate the keep warm 

mode at selected temperature. 2 lights around the   will be illumed.

You can also start the keep warm mode once the temperature has been reached. Do a long push

6. THE KETTLE WILL SWITCH OFF AUTOMATICALLY

As soon as the water reaches boiling point or the chosen temperature.

• 

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.

• 

Do not wipe the display while plugged in, it may cause unexpected start-up.

CLEANING THE FILTER*

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. 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. 

Temperature detection in the kettle may be affected by limescale.

To de-scale your kettle:

•  Using white vinegar which can be bought from hardware stores:

– Fill the kettle with ½ litre of white vinegar,

– Leave to stand for 1 hour without heating.

•  Using citric acid:

– Boil ½ litre of water,

– Add 25 g of citric acid and leave to stand for 15 min.

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

To de-scale your filter*:

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

– 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.
