, The light ring around the on/off button lights up and the 100°C light starts to flash to
indicate that the kettle is heating up water to boiling point (Fig. 7).
, While the water heats up, the current temperature is shown by the number of lights that are
on. The 100°C light continues to flash (Fig. 8).
2 The kettle brings the water to the boil.
, When the water boils, you hear an audible signal and the kettle switches off automatically.
, The light ring around the on/off button goes out and the 100°C light stays on for 120
seconds to let you know the water has just boiled (Fig. 9).
Note: You can stop the heating process at any time by pressing the on/off button or removing the kettle
from the base. If you remove the kettle from the base when it is operating, all settings are lost.
