Signal Meaning/solution
One temperature light lights up
continuously while the light rings
around the KEEP WARM button
and the on/off button are off.
After the water has reached the set temperature, the light of
the set temperature stays on for 120 seconds.
Two or more temperature lights
ash rapidly at the same time.

than the set temperature because:
- there is too little water in the kettle. To prevent
overheating, always ll the kettle with at least 0.5 litres water.

before you use it again (see chapter ‘Cleaning and descaling’).
Two temperature lights ash
alternately.
