should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without any water, or if the
water container is calcified. Once the safety
cut-out has switched off the kettle, it must be
allowed to cool down sufficiently, or must be
descaled before it is switched on again.
Before using for the first time
● To clean the kettle, boil and discard the
first filling of water.
Boiling water
● Never remove the water container from
the base (or replace it) while the
appliance is switched on.
-
Remove the water container from its
base.
-
Remove the lid and fill the container
with water to the desired level, observing
the minimum and maximum marking.
-
Replace the lid and put the container
back on its base, but ensure that the
appliance has not yet been switched on.
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and depress the On/Off switch. The
indicator light goes on.
-
The boiling process begins. After
reaching the boiling point, the appliance
is automatically switched off by the
integral steam cut-off device. The
indicator light goes out.
-
If you want to interrupt the boiling
process, set the On/Off switch to its Off
position.
-
To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
-
To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring out the water.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up in the water
container. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. A mixture of 0.5
litres of water to two tablespoons of vinegar
essence is suitable.
-
Pour the descaler in.
-
Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
-
Leave it to take effect for a short period.
-
To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
● Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
General cleaning and care
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the kettle and the base with water
and do not immerse them in water. Do
not clean under running water.
● For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions, and do not use hard brushes
for cleaning.
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
