Press the ON/OFF switch (H) down, the pilot lights lights up and the kettle starts to heat up.

i The ON/OFF switch (H) only catches when the kettle is on the base unit (J).

Do not use the water from the first boiling cycle to prepare food.

The automatic switch off

The kettle will switch off automatically and the pilot light will go out when the water has boiled or the kettle is removed from the base.

If you want to stop the heating process before the kettle automatically switches off, simply press the ON/OFF switch (H) up or lift up the jug from the base. If you want to reheat water which has already been heated, press the ON/OFF switch (H) down again. When the water has boiled the kettle will switch off automatically.

Safety system

This appliance is equipped with a boil-dry safety cut-out. This feature protects the appliance from overheating when started without water or from boiling until it is empty if used with the lid open. If the appliance is accidentally switched on without water, it is automatically protected against overheating. The heating process is automatically interrupted. Before using the kettle again let it cool down for 5-10 minutes.

Cleaning and care

Always disconnect the kettle from the mains supply before cleaning.
Never clean the kettle and base unit under running water or immerse it in washing-up water.
Occasionally rinse out the kettle with clean water.
Clean the outside of the appliance only using a damp cloth. Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleansing agents.
Hold strainer insert (B) at grip (1) and lift insert out for cleaning.
The heating base is made of stainless steel. If, however, spots of rust appear, these are only deposits adhering to the surface. They can be removed with a stainless steel cleaning agent.

Descaling

Lime scale deposits on the bottom of the kettle result in loss of energy and can affect the service life of the appliance. The appliance switches off before boiling if the layer of scale is too thick. It is then very difficult to remove.

The appliance should be descaled regularly depending on the level of the water hardness. Use a standard descaler following the directions; preferably choose an environmentally friendly, descaling agent suitable for stainless steel according to the instructions from the manufacturer.

First fill in water, then a standard descaling preparation which is not too strong.
Do not boil the solution as it could foam over.
After descaling, rinse the kettle out thoroughly with clean water. Never pour descaling agents into an enamel sink and do not reuse them.
