Frequently Asked Questions - TWK86104RU BOSCH

How do I descale my Bosch TWK86104RU kettle?

To descale, fill the kettle with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1) or use citric acid. Bring to a boil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.

What is the maximum capacity of the kettle?

The maximum capacity is 1.7 liters, indicated on the graduated scale. Do not exceed the 'MAX' mark.

Why does the kettle turn off before boiling?

This may be due to excess limescale. Descale the appliance. Also check that the lid is properly closed and the water level is sufficient.

How to clean the limescale filter?

Remove the filter by pressing the side clips. Wash it under running water with a soft brush. You can also soak it in white vinegar to remove stubborn limescale.

Can I heat other liquids than water?

No, this kettle is designed only for water. Milk, coffee, or other liquids can damage the appliance and void the warranty.

Is the kettle compatible with a charging base?

Yes, the kettle is cordless and sits on a 360° rotating base that allows it to be placed in any direction. The base should only be used with this model.

How to maintain the stainless steel finish?

Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products or steel wool. For limescale marks, a little vinegar on a cloth is enough.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check the electrical outlet, power cord, and connection on the base. Make sure the on/off button is pressed. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I open the lid during operation?

It is not recommended to open the lid during boiling due to the risk of steam burns. Wait until the appliance has switched off automatically.

Where can I find spare parts?

Parts such as the limescale filter and lid gasket are available on the Bosch website or from authorized dealers. Use your model number: TWK86104RU.

6 + - button (temperature setting)
7 keep warm button
8 Limescale filter (removable)

Important: Use the kettle only with its included base.

■ Only fill the kettle with water. Milk and instant beverages will burn and damage the appliance. Never operate the kettle without water and do not overfill it; observe the min and max markings. If the kettle is too full, the water will boil over!

Before using for the first time

■ Remove any stickers or film.
■ Unroll the right amount of cable from the cable tidy and plug it in.
■ Fill the kettle with water. Bring the water to a boil and discard it. Repeat the procedure. This will make sure that the kettle is clean for normal use.

■ Press the ① ON/OFF switch. The kettle emits a signal, and the factory-set temperature (100°C) lights up. The water is being heated.
■ By pressing button + or – you can set the temperature to ca. 70^ C, ca. 80^ C, ca. 90^ C or ca. 100^ C.

Note: The selected temperature can be changed at any time while the kettle is heating up. While the kettle heats up, the current temperature lights up; the preset temperature flashes until it has been reached.

If the temperature cannot be set, this indicates that the water in the kettle is hotter than the desired temperature. The current temperature will light up.

You can turn off the kettle at any time by pressing the ① ON/OFF switch again.

Warning: If you remove the kettle from the base and replace it before the heating process is over, the kettle will not continue to heat the water. The selected settings will be lost (reset to factory setting).

This is normal; it does not mean that the kettle leaks. When you set the temperature to 100^ C, the kettle will turn off only after the water has reached the boiling point, i.e. it will bubble for a short period of time. After boiling, let the kettle cool down for 5 minutes before refilling it with water.
