Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without containing any water, or
if the heating element 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 being switched on
again.
Before using for the first time
● To clean the kettle, boil and then discard
the first filling of water.
Boiling water
-
Set the voltage selector to the correct
voltage.
-
Open the water container lid and fill the
container with water to the desired level,
observing the minimum and maximum
marks on the inside of the container.
-
Close the lid.
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and use the On/Off switch to turn the
kettle on. The indicator lights come on.
-
The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator lights
go out.
-
To interrupt the boiling process, use the
On/Off switch to turn the kettle off.
-
Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before pouring hot water.
-
To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring.
-
Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up on the
heating element. It is advisable to remove
any such deposits at regular intervals. Any
warranty claim will be null and void if the
kettle malfunctions because of insufficient
descaling.
When descaling, a mixture of 0.3 litres of
water to two tablespoons of vinegar 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 fresh water.
● Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards
