Operation Manual

Thank you for choosing this De’Longhi kettle.To get the

best results from your new kettle it is advisable to read

these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

This is the only way to ensure optimum results and maxi-

mum safety.

Using for the first time

• Before use, check that the appliance has not been damaged dur-

ing transport.

• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.

• Remove any labels from the outer surfaces.

• Remove the filter as shown in fig 1 and wash with water (refer

to pag 5 “Removing the scale filter”).

• Fill the kettle and boil.

• The boiled water should be discarded and the kettle rinsed out

with cold water.This procedure should be carried out three

times, to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.

•After the kettle has been rinsed out, re-fit the filter as

described on page 5.

Using the kettle

With the specially designed power base and central connector,

you can now set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any

position.

• Release cord from storage base and adjust length by winding

around the base to give the correct cord length to reach the

plug socket to be used (fig. 4).

• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work sur-

faces.

Filling

• Remove the kettle from the base unit before filling.

• Open lid by pressing on the lid release button.The lid will

open automatically (fig.5). (Fill kettle to desired level).

Do not fill with less than 0,6 litre of water to prevent the

kettle running dry while operating; misuse of this kind will

shorten the life of the element.

Do not fill with more than 1,7 litres of water (fig. 6).

If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling

water may be ejected causing burns.

•To close the lid push it on the upper part.
