Safety notices specific to the device RISK OF BURNS! Always touch the electric kettle by the handle

Operating electric heating devices generate high temperatures which m

result in hazards, e.g. boiling water, hot steam, and a hot housing! Also in- struct other users of the hazards! RISK OF BURNS! Only operat

the water kettle with the filter cartridge installed. This prevents water from splattering whilst boili ng. RISK OF BURNS! Never open the safety lid

with the water boiling. Do not operate the device below wall cupboards or similar items, the steam released may damage your furniture. RISK OF BURNS! Allow the device to cool down completely before cleaning and storing it. Only operate the device with the included base station

. To prevent dangerous situations, only add water whilst the device is on the base stati on! To prevent hazards, never operate the device with water or with the safety lid

open. Be sure never to operate an over- or underfilled glass kettle. The amount of water added must not be below the MIN mark in the level indicator

or above the MAX mark. Boiling water may sp urt if overfilled. Only add clean water to the glass kettle. The device is not suitable for heating other liquids, e.g. milk or coffee. The material may be per- manently damaged. The glass kettle features a safety function which switches it off automatically if accidentally op- erated empty. In this case allow the glass kettle to cool down before reusing. Only heat the water in the device once! Empty all water from the device after boiling. Do not allow water to sit in the device to prevent stagna

water, calcium deposits, and algae formation. The device is not intended for use with an exter- nal time switch or a separate telecontrol system. 114274_silv_Wasserkocher Glas SWKG 2000 B1_content_DK_BE_NL.indd 7 07.08.15 11:438 GB/IE Start-up / Cleaning and Care Before use / Start-up Before use To prevent hazards, verify the device, the mains plug and the mains cable are complete and in good condition after unpacking to eliminate any damage. Your glass kettle is packaged to protect it from trans- port damage. Carefully remove the device from the retail pack. Remove all packaging. Completely unwrap the mains cable

Remove any residual packaging dust from the device and all accessories as specified in chap- ter “Cleaning and Care“. Set up the glass kettle near a protective ground socket, ensuring it is freely accessible. Furniture is now coated with a variety of paints and plastics, and is treated with the most diverse of clean- ers. It is therefore impossible to preclude some of these substances may contain components which would affect and soften the rubber feet of the housing

If necessary, place a non-slip, heat resistant pad under the glass kettle. Please the base station

on a suitable surface. Connect the device to the protective ground socket. Please boil water 2–3 times prior to first use. To do so, fill the water reservoir to the MAX mark. Pour out the water after each use and rinse the water reservoir with clean water. Always allow the water reservoir to cool to room temperature between cycles. Start-up Filling the glass kettle Remove the water reservoir

from the base station

to fill. Open the safety lid

by pressing the lid release push button

Add water to the water reservoir

. Be sure not to fill below “MIN“ or above the “MAX“ level of the level indicator

Only use fresh potable water. Do not ingest water not identified as potable water. There otherwise is a risk of damage to the health! RISK OF BURNS! Adding too much water to the device poses a risk of boiling over. This can result in burns! Close the safety lid

is not closed correctly. Placing the glass kettle on the centre contact station Your glass kettle features a practical centre contact station. This means you may align the water reser- voir

in any direction without observing the accu- racy of fit. Place the water reservoir

can only be used if the device is on the base station. Press the ON / OFF switch

down in the po- sition “|“. The device is switched on. It will now start heating. Once the water is boiling the auto shut-off will switch the device off. The shut-off time depends on the amount of water added. Note: Based on the function of the device, a few drops of condensation may escape from the discharge openings at the bottom of the de- vice at the end of the boiling cycle. This is not a sign the device is leaking but is due to the auto shut-off and does not affect safety. 114274_silv_Wasserkocher Glas SWKG 2000 B1_content_DK_BE_NL.indd 8 07.08.15 11:439 GB/IE Start-up / Cleaning and Care Before use / Start-up Safety ON / OFF switch Note: Your device features a special safety ON / OFF switch

is not required. Pour the hot water through the pouring spout

into the designated vessel. Before boiling again, allow the device to first cool to room temperature. Cleaning and Care Always unplug from the mains before cleaning and allow the device to cool completely before cleaning and storing! Never immerse the base station and water reservoir in water. This poses a risk of burns or electric shock! Do not use caustic cleaners and abra- sives or scouring pads, as this may cause damage the device beyond repair. Cleaning the water kettle Clean all exterior surfaces and the mains cable with a slightly dampened dishcloth. Always dry the device well before using it again. For stub- born soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure there is no washing-up liquid residue on and inside the device before using it again. Rinse the inside of the water reservoir

with clean water. Remove deposits inside the water reservoir

by wiping the inside surface with a damp cloth, or use a washing-up or bottle brush. Then rinse the water reservoir

with clean water again. Cleaning the filter cartridge The filter cartridge is removable for enhanced cleaning. Remove the filter cartridge upward at the re- lease tab. Clean the filter cartridge with some citric acid or lime dissolver suitable for food containers from a homeware shop (e.g. coffee maker cleaner). Rinse the filter cartridge well with water. Please carefully slide the filter cartridge down- ward along the designated guide groove. Descaling the glass kettle Note: Severely scaled devices can result in the de- vice automatically switching off early and energy loss. 114274_silv_Wasserkocher Glas SWKG 2000 B1_content_DK_BE_NL.indd 9 07.08.15 11:4310 GB/IE Disposal / Warranty / Service centre / Declaration of conformity Cleaning and Care / Storage / Troubleshooting / Disposal Therefore regularly descale the glass kettle (varies by lime content in the water and frequency of use). Only use citric acid or lime dissolver suitable for food containers from a houseware shop (e.g. coffee maker cleaner), do not use acetic acid or other acids. Fill the water reservoir

with water and heat to a simmer. Add some citric acid or lime dissolver suitable for food containers from a housewares shop (e.g. coffee maker cleaner). Unplug from the protective ground socket. Lime- scale will dissolve as the water cools. Occasionally swivel the water reservoir

Repeat the process for thick layers of limescale. Note: Descaling may be interrupted, even if some limescale remains. Descaling down to the bare metal surface is not required. After descaling, simmer 2–3 fillings of fresh water and discard the water.
