DeLonghi ME 28 - Manual (Page 5)

BEFORE USE
• Remove all packaging from the kettle and power base.
• Remove any labels from the outer stainless steel surfaces.
• Remove the filter by pushing as shown in fig. 1 and wash with water (fig. 2). Refer to page
7. “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).
IN USE
Power base with 360° access
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 (fig. 4).
• Do not leave loose cord hanging over the edge of work surfaces.
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 kettle
running dry while operating; 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 be ejected
causing burns.
