DeLonghi KBM3011 - Manual (Page 3)

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 stainless steel surfaces.
• Remove the filter as shown in fig. 1 and wash with water (fig. 2).
Refer to page 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 (fig. 3).
Using the kettle
With the specially designed power base and central connector,
you can set the kettle on the base at any angle, from any posi-
tion.
• 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 and fill kettle to desired level.
Do not fill with less than 0,25 litre of water to prevent the ket-
tle running dry while in use; misuse of this kind will shorten the
life of the element.
Do not fill with more than 1,7 litres of water (up to the MAX
indication located inside the kettle) (fig. 5).
If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may
overflow and cause burns.
A handy water level viewer enables you to see the quantity of
water in the kettle.
