Preparation for use

• Remove all packaging elements and labels, but not the rating plate.
• Place the electric kettle on a dry, even, non-slip surface.

Before initial use

• Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the device for the first time and save these instructions in case you want to read it again.
• Boil at least once 1.7 l water at 100^ , and then pour this away.

Safety notices for use of the contact base / electric kettle

• Do not come below the MIN marking (= 0.8l) on the water level display, otherwise the appliance can not switch off properly.
• Do not fill the electric kettle with water past the MAX marking (= 1,7l) on the water level display. Scalding may result from water boiling over.
  Always remove the electric kettle from the contact base before filling with water.
• This electric kettle may only be used for heating water.
• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner.
• Before operating the machine, make sure that the contact base is dry.

• Please make sure that water is never spilled on the contact base.
  If water is accidentally spilled onto the contact base, proceed as follows:

• Unplug the unit from the wall socket.

• Dry the contact base with an absorbent dry kitchen towel.
• Dry the surface beneath the contact base.

• Plug the unit into the wall socket again.

• Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.

The surface is hot during operation. Only touch the device's handle.

Touch control panel

Your electric kettle is equipped with a temperature control and a "keep-warm" function, controlled by a modern touch control panel. For both a temperature in the range of 40^ - 100^ can be selected. The closed surface prevents dirt, dust or water to get into the base interior.

Operation

• Plug the power plug into the wall socket.
• Remove the electric kettle from the contact base.
• Open the lid by pressing the cover release knob at the handle.
• Fill the electric kettle with desired amount of cold tap water using the water markings on the water level display behind the handle.
• ATTENTION: Make sure not to fill below the MIN marking (= 0.8l) so that the heat detector is co

vered with water, otherwise the appliance can not switch off properly.

• ATTENTION: Make sure not to fill water past the MAX marking (= 1,7l) on the water level display.

Scalding may result from water boiling over.

• Close the lid manually and place the electric kettle anywhere on the 360^ contact base.
• Your water boiler is equipped with a temperature control and works by touch (please see also "Touch control panel").
• Select the desired temperature (between 40^ and 100^ ) by touching it on the "Touch-Temperature Strip". The LED display then lights up blue to this point.
  INFO: Water will boil at a temperature of 100^
• Please observe that the water temperature after boiling may deviate from the selected temperature by a few degrees Celsius.
• To switch it on, press the ON/OFF switch on the touch panel.

• When the water reaches the desired temperature, the electric kettle will beep three times and then switches off automatically.
  The LEDs of the temperature control will light up afterwards.
• You can interrupt the boiling process at any time by pushing up the ON/OFF switch again.
• Please wait a moment until the water stops bubbling.
• To pour the water, lift the electric kettle from the contact base.
• IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the device is switched off before removing the electric kettle from the contact base.
• Wait a few minutes to let the device cool off before filling it with water again and using it. Do not touch the hot housing during operation. Danger of burning!

Keeping warm function

• You can keep the water hot after boiling.
• Proceed as described in "Operation", but push the button for keeping warm instead of the ON/OFF switch.

• This automatically operates the ON/OFF switch and the device starts to boil.
• Then the water is kept warm on the selected temperature.
• You can remove the water boiler from the contact socket at any time during the keeping warm time, pour water and return it, which will continue the keeping warm function.
• You can stop the keeping warm function at any time by pushing the keeping warm button again.
• Otherwise, the device will automatically switch off after approx. 2 hours.
• You may also switch on the keeping warm button subsequently during a regular boiling process.
• For this, boil water as usual and select the keeping warm button after pushing the ON/OFF switch.

Overheating protection device

The electric kettle is equipped with a overheating protection. In the event that you accidentally operate the electric kettle without water, the device will automatically switch off for your safety and can have no function for a short time. Let the appliance allow to cool for ca. 1 hour. Afterwards fill in cold water and the device will be ready to operate again.

Cleaning

• CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance or base in water and do not clean under running water!
• Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.
  Clean very dirty appliances with a damp cloth and lukewarm water.

Removing / cleaning the lime filter

• The lime filter is located below the pouring spout inside of the kettle.
• To remove, press the upper flat edge with your thumbs to release the two brackets. Then remove the filter towards the top.
• Clean the lime filter with a little bit of soapy water and place it into the bottom hole of the scale filter holder of the water boiler with the bottom pin first. Then push the two upper filter hooks back into the square holes of the holder in the water boiler until the scale filter latches.

Decalcifying

If you have hard water, the electric kettle should be decalcified regularly (depending on the hardness of the water, about every 2 - 3 weeks).
- Use a commercially available liquid decalcifying product (do not use chemical decalcifiers) and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- TIP: Mild calcium deposits can also be removed with a mixture of 5 to 6 tablespoons of vinegar in 0.5~l of water.

Please observe the following when decalcifying the machine:

• First, pour cold water into the electric kettle.
• Briefly bring it to a boil.
  Now, add the decalcifier and let the device stand for a while.
• CAUTION: Do not bring this mixture to a boil.
  After decalcifying, rinse the pot twice with clear water.
• Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.
  NOTE: Regularly decalcifying your electric kettle will reduce the electricity used and prolong the life of the appliance. The calcium content of water varies from region to region. Please consult your local water works or utility works for information on water hardness.

In the event of malfunctions due to calcium deposits, the guarantee will be voided!
