DeLonghi KBO Series User Manual

- 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-t the lter (g.
3).
In use
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 (g. 4).
- Do not leave loose cord
hanging over the edge of
work surfaces.
Filling
- Remove the kettle from the base unit before lling.
- Open lid and ll kettle to desired level.
Do not ll with less than 0,3 litre of water to
prevent the kettle running dry while operating; misuse
of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
Do not ll with more than 1.7 litres of water (up
to the MAX level).
If the kettle is overlled, there is a risk that
boiling water may be ejected causing burns.
Switching on
- Plug the power base into the mains socket.
- Place kettle on power base.
- Press the ON/OFF switch
down (g. 5) to switch the
kettle on.
- The pilot light will switch
on.
- The kettle will automatically
switch o once the water is
boiled (the ON/OFF switch will click upwards and the
lights will switch o ).
- To turn the kettle o before the water boils, you may
move the ON/OFF switch up to the OFF position, or
simply lift the kettle from its base - it will switch
o and the switch will return to the OFF position
automatically.
Pouring
- Remove the kettle from the power base and carefully
pour out the water. Do not tilt the kettle suddenly or
pour water out at too sharp an angle.
- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see
moisture on the top surface of the base. Condensation
on the base is perfectly normal, and should not be a
cause for alarm.
SAFETY DEVICES
1) Automatic ON/OFF switch:
Your kettle is tted with an ON/OFF switch which
automatically switches o once the water has boiled.
If the kettle has just boiled, wait a minute or so before
re-boiling the kettle. Do not attempt to hold the ON/
OFF switch in the on position or adjust the switch
mechanism.
2) Safety cut-out:
If the kettle is switched ON with too little or no water, it
is protected against damage by a safety cut-out which
will switch o the power. If this cut-out operates,
disconnect the kettle from the mains supply and
leave to cool down before relling with cold water
(otherwise the element could be damaged).
3) If kettle is lifted from base while operating (ON), it will
automatically switch o.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the kettle
- Allow the kettle to cool down fully and disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the kettle or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the
kettle and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.
Scale
Scale is mainly calcium carbonate (chalk), a harmless,
naturally occurring mineral found in most water supplies.
“Hard” water contains more of this mineral than “soft” water.
