Thermal safety cut-out
The preset thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
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.
-
Open the lid and fill the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min. and Max. markings.
-
Before closing the lid and placing the
container back on its base, ensure that
the appliance has not yet been switched
on.
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and press the On/Off switch.
-
The boiling process begins. After
reaching the boiling point, the appliance
is automatically switched off by the
integral steam cut-off device.
-
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.
-
Remove the plug from the wall outlet
after use.
-
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. 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.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards.
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.
