Frequently Asked Questions - GSK15 GEMINI

How should I use the kettle for the first time?

Before first use, boil 3 full kettles of water (1.5 L each) and discard the water to remove manufacturing residues. You may also use vinegar or a descaling agent for the first time.

What are the minimum and maximum water levels?

The minimum water level is 0.5 L (MIN) and the maximum is 1.5 L (MAX). Never fill beyond the MAX mark to avoid hot water splashing out.

Can I open the lid while the water is boiling?

No. Never open the lid when the water is still boiling, as steam and hot water may spatter and cause burns. Wait until the boiling has stopped.

How does the automatic shut-off work?

After the water comes to a boil, the kettle automatically switches off a few seconds later, and the pilot light turns off. This prevents over-boiling.

How do I clean and descale the kettle?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For descaling, fill to MAX with a vinegar-water solution, boil, let stand a few hours, empty, then boil twice with clean water. Never use ammonia or harsh cleaners.

What should I do if the kettle turns off before the water boils?

If the kettle switches off prematurely, it may have activated the boil-dry protection due to insufficient water. Fill at least to MIN (0.5 L) and allow the kettle to cool for 10 minutes before reusing.

Can I use the kettle without water?

No. Do not switch on the kettle when empty. This can damage the heating element and activate the overheating protection. Allow the kettle to cool for 10 minutes before refilling.

Is the kettle suitable for other liquids like milk or soup?

No. This kettle is designed only for boiling or heating water. Using it for other liquids may cause damage and create a hazard.

How should I store the kettle?

Allow the kettle to cool to room temperature before storage. Place it on a flat, stable surface away from windows and moisture. Do not let the cord hang over edges.

What if the power cord is damaged?

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard. Do not use the kettle until repaired.
