- In case the cord of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by an authorised service agent of the manufacturer or a person having similar qualifications. Substantial dangers for the user can appear from inappropriate repairs.

Putting into operation

Before first use carefully clean the inside of the kettle. In order to open the lid press the button located above the handle. Any of the cord that is not required can be rolled up and stowed in the bottom of the appliance. The cord must be kept away from the hot kettle. Put the plug into an earthed socket.

Then close the lid until it locks. If the lid is not locked, the automatic boil-stop will not work. Put the kettle on the base. Only now put the switch inside the handle to position -1-, the lamp shows that the device is heating.

The switch does not lock if the kettle is not put on the base.

The water after the first use of the appliance is not suitable for the preparation of food.

Due to the construction of the kettle, some condensation may spill out from the spout under the handle onto the edge of the base. This is due to technical reasons, the safety is not restricted.

Automatic boilstop

As soon as the water boils the automatic boilstop will interrupt the heating process. The control lamp goes out. In case the kettle is filled with little water, the time until the automatic boilstop works will be prolonged. If you want to boil hot water again the appliance can be switched on again. If only warm water is desired the heating process can be interrupted at any time. The disconnection takes place automatically also if the pot is lifted by the base.

Safety system

In case of unintentional use without water a thermostat protects the kettle from overheating by interrupting the heating process. The button will be put automatically to position -0-. Before refilling with water, wait another 5-10 minutes until the appliance has cooled down. If through improper usage this thermostat should fail an additional temperature security device will be activated.

Cleaning and maintenance

Pull the plug and cool the appliance. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but wipe with a damp cloth to which a dishwashing agent has been added and then wipe dry. Do not use sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.

The pan is made from rust-resistant

stainless steel. If rust spots are seen regardless, these are initially only deposits adhering to the surface. They should be removed immediately with stainless steel cleaner.

Decalcification

Calcium deposits result in energy losses and reduce the service life of the appliance. It switches off early, if the calcium coating is too thick. It is then difficult to remove. Decalcify the pot routinely.

We recommend using durgol® express. It is very effective and gentle to materials.

You may obtain it where you bought the appliance; directly from a select dealer or you can order it directly from petra-electric.

Disconnect the appliance from the socket and let cool prior to decalcification. Fill in 1 to 2 cups of durgol® express and let the appliance stand until the calcium coating is removed from the bottom. Then fill the appliance with cold water past the calcium edge and let stand for 15 minutes. Then pour it out and thoroughly rinse with cold water.

Do not heat the solution during decalcification.

Caution, warranty compensation does not exist for damages that occur due to non-compliance.

Causes for failures

• The appliance switches off before the water is boiling: the lime scale at the bottom of the kettle is too thick.
• The appliance does not switch off: close the lid until it snaps.
• The appliance cannot be switched on after having used the kettle without or with too little water: the appliance has not yet cooled down sufficiently.

If the failures cannot be removed, let the appliance have repaired.

In order to avoid injury, any repairs of the appliance as well as the exchange of a damaged connection cord should only be carried out by the manufacturer, his authorised service agent or a person having similar qualifications.
