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 reset the safety cut-out by pressing
the operating button. The indicator light
comes on.
-
The boiling process begins. After
reaching boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The indicator light
goes out.
-
To interrupt the boiling process, remove
the plug from the wall socket.
● If the boiling process is interrupted by
disconnecting the mains supply, i.e.
before the cut-off device has been
triggered, the appliance will be re-
activated automatically when next
connected to mains power.
-
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.
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. When
descaling, a mixture of 0.5 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.
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
immerse the kettle in liquid and do not
clean it under running water.
● For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
● Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning
solutions or stiff brushes for cleaning.
-
The cups may be cleaned in warm soapy
water or in a dish-washer.
Storage
To save space, the cups can be put inside
each other and then stored in the water
container. The kettle may be kept and
carried about in its storage bag. However,
ensure that it has completely cooled down
before putting it into the bag.
Disposal
Do not dispose of old or defective
appliances in domestic garbage;
this should only be done through
public collection points.
