means of a « click » and the opening control
(D) pops up.
- Switch on by positioning the switch (A) to
«I», and the indicator light (B) will come on.
Important:
- The appliance switches off automatically
once the water reaches boiling point, the
switch (A) returns to position «0» and the
indicator light (B) goes out.
- You can also stop the kettle at any time
during the heating cycle by setting the switch
(A) to position «0».
- The appliance is protected by a safety device
which regulates the heating cycle if the kettle
is switched on with too little water or no water
at all. Pour cold water into the appliance, or
wait for a few minutes to restart the heating
cycle.
Limescale filter (depending
on model)
Depending on the hardness of the local water,
a layer of limescale may form inside your
kettle. If this happens, when the water boils,
particles of limescale may be found in the
water you pour. To prevent this from occurring,
we have equipped the kettle with a special
limescale filter which retains the particles of
scale when you pour water.
- Avoid pouring water too quickly, so as to
allow it to flow slowly through the limescale
filter.
- To remove the limescale filter, lift the kettle
away from its base and allow the appliance
to cool down. Never remove the filter when
the appliance is full of hot water.
- Press the control (D) to open the lid.
- Swivel the filter and pull it upward to remove
it from the pouring spout.
- To replace the limescale filter, slide it into
the pouring spout and lock it by pushing
downwards.
Notes:
- The filter is only suitable for this type of kettle.
- The absence of a filter will not stop the kettle
from working.
Cleaning
- Unplug the kettle, remove it from its base
and allow it to cool down.
- To clean the external surfaces, use a damp
cloth with a little washing-up liquid. Rinse
and dry carefully.
- Never immerse the kettle or the base in
water.
. Model with limescale filter
- Clean the limescale filter at regular intervals.
- Rinse it in fresh running water, using a soft
non-metallic brush.
Maintenance
. Descaling
To allow water to reach boiling point, it is
essential that you descale your kettle at regular
intervals. To do this, we advise you to use wine
vinegar:
- Pour 1/2 litre water into the kettle.
- Add 1/2 glass of 8° wine vinegar.
- Bring to the boil and leave to work for 15
minutes.
- Then rinse your kettle several times in cold
water.
- Boil fresh water before using the kettle again.
. Model with limescale filter
This same mixture (water + vinegar) can also
be used to descale the limescale filter.
- Pour a little of the hot mixture into a contai-
ner.
- Soak the filter in the mixture for several mi-
nutes, until the particles of tartar trapped in
the pores of the filter have dissolved.
- Then rinse the filter thoroughly in fresh water.
Note:
Our guarantee does not cover kettles which
do not work or work poorly because they have
not been descaled.
What to do if your appliance
does not work?
- Check:
. the electrical connection.
. that the kettle is correctly positioned on its
base.
. that the switch is in position «I».
. that the kettle has not been switched on
without any water. If it is the case, pour cold
water in the kettle, wait for one minute before
switching it on again.
- If your kettle works only intermittently before
boiling, your appliance probably needs
descaling. Refer to the section headed
«Maintenance».
If your appliance still does not work: con-
tact an approved Moulinex service centre (see
list in the booklet «Moulinex Service»).
