We recommend you to pour away the water from the first boiling. Open the lid and fill the appliance with water (Figure 2). Caution: Never fill with less than the minimum quantity of water of 0. 25 l, or with more than the maximum quantity of water of 1. 5 l (Figure 3). If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling water will splash out of the kettle. To switch on the appliance, press the ON/OFF switch lever (Figure 4) downwards. The power indicator lights up and indicates to you that the appliance is switched on. Important: Before you switch on the appliance, make sure that the lid is fitted properly as the automatic switch off device only works correctly if the lid is shut properly (Figure 5). For technical reasons condensation may form under the handle. This condensation will not affect the function of the appliance. Filter (only SWK 780) Depending on the model, the appliance is equipped with a filter (Figure 1/L). The filter retains particles of scale that may be present in the kettle.
