RETRO KETTLE KH 1025

Intended use

This appliance is intended for the boiling-up of water in domestic households. It is not intended for use with other liquids or for commercial use.

Technical Data

Voltage: 220 - 240 V ~ / 50 Hz

Power consumption : 2200 W

① In older electrical installations, the building fuse (12A) may be triggered due to the high power consumption.

Safety information

To avoid potentially fatal injury through electric shock:

• Ensure that the base with the electrical connections does not come into contact with water! If it has unintentionally come into contact with water, first allow it to dry out completely before taking it into use.
• Only use the water boiler with the supplied base.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet or damp during operation. Lay the cable so that it cannot be trapped or otherwise damaged.
• To reduce the risk of injury, arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.

Always remove the plug from the power socket after use. Simply switching the appliance off is not sufficient, as the appliance is under power for as long as the plug is connected to the socket.

To avoid burns and other injuries:

Always heat water with the lid on, otherwise the automatic switch-off does not function correctly. Boiling water could then spray out over the rim.
- Hot steam clouds may be released. Additionally, the kettle becomes very hot during use. Wear oven mitts.
- Ensure that the appliance is standing securely and vertically before switching it on. Boiling water can cause an unstable kettle to fall over.
- This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Commissioning

Before taking the appliance into use, ensure that ...
- the appliance, plug and power cable are in good working order and...
- all packaging materials have been removed from the appliance.
- Fill the appliance up to the MAX marking on the scale ③ with a water and vinegar mixture having a mix-ratio of 6:1 and then bring it to be boil - as described in the next section.

Warning

Do not inhale the vapours escaping during the boiling process! This could lead to irritation of the mucous membranes and an indisposition.

• When the process is finished, pour the water-vinegar mixture away.
• Rinse the kettle out with clear water.
• Fill the appliance with water up to the MAX marking on the scale ③ and then bring it to be boil. When done, pour it away also.

Boiling water

Danger

Never place the electrical base 5 near water - life-threatening danger!

• Lift the kettle off of the base when filling it!
• Remove the lid ② in that you pull it upwards.
• Hold the kettle upright while filling it. Only in this way can you correctly read the markings on the scale 3.

Fill the kettle ...

• at least to the MIN mark, so that the appliance does not overheat,
• no higher than the MAX mark, so that no boiling water spills out.
• First close the lid 2...
  and then place the kettle on the base 5 such that it is standing absolutely upright on the base 5.
• Now insert the power plug into the power socket ...
  and press the ON/OFF switch 4 upwards until it engages.
• The control lamps integrated into the ON/OFF switch 4 indicate that the appliance is now heating the water up.
• The appliance switches itself off and the control lamps go out as soon as the water is on the boil. The ON/OFF switch 4 springs down.

Warning

Remove the plug from the wall socket before you lift the kettle from its base ⑤. This prevents causing a potential short circuit by water possibly spilling out of the carafe and falling onto live electrical connections in the base ⑤.

Injury hazard

For safety reasons, the lid 2 should not be opened while the water is boiling or is very hot. There is a risk of receiving severe scalds.

Cleaning and Care

Danger

Do not open any part of the housing. There are no user-servicable elements inside. An open housing can create the risk of a lethal electrical shock.

Never submerge any parts of the appliance in water or other liquids! This can create the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual liquid comes into contact with powered components.

Before cleaning the appliance, ....

• first, remove the plug from the power socket and allow the appliance to cool down completely.
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable with a slightly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the appliance well before taking it back into use.
• Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners or solvents. These can damage the appliance.
