Frequently Asked Questions - MK 2952 CLATRONIC

How to use the kettle to boil water?

Place the appliance on a flat surface. Open the lid and fill with water up to the MAX mark. Close the lid. Place the kettle on the base. Set the thermostat to MAX and press the On/Off button. The indicator light turns on. The appliance switches off automatically when the water boils.

Can I cook pasta in this kettle?

Yes. This kettle is designed for cooking pasta. Use the PASTA position on the thermostat. Fill with water (max. 1 liter for 200-230 g of pasta). Place the pasta in the provided basket if desired. Once the water is hot (indicator off), add the food and set the cooking time. Switch off the appliance at the end of cooking.

How to clean the kettle?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. The water tank can be cleaned with a soft sponge and soapy water, then rinsed with clean water. Never immerse the appliance or base in water.

How to descale the kettle?

If the appliance turns off before the water boils, it is time to descale. Use a descaling product based on citric acid (not vinegar). Follow the quantities indicated on the product. After descaling, boil fresh water 3 to 4 times to remove residues. Do not consume this water.

What is the maximum water capacity?

The water level should not exceed the MAX mark (approx. 1.7 liters). Do not overfill to avoid splashing boiling water.

Can I keep water warm without boiling?

Yes. Set the thermostat to a position between MIN and PASTA. The indicator light turns on and off when the temperature is reached, then turns on again regularly to maintain heat.

Does the appliance turn off automatically?

Yes. In boil mode (MAX), the appliance turns off automatically after boiling. For other functions, turn off manually with the On/Off button.

What to do if the water does not boil?

Check that the thermostat is set to MAX and that the appliance is turned on (indicator on). Ensure the kettle is correctly placed on the base. If the problem persists, descaling may be required.

What accessories are included?

The kettle comes with a base, a pasta basket, and a pasta strainer. The lid is integrated.

Can I use the kettle without the lid?

For the heat/keep warm function, the lid is not needed. For the boil function with automatic shut-off, the lid must be closed. For cooking pasta, the lid can be left open.
