FOR YOUR SAFETY

Please read the following instructions and keep them on hand for later reference.

1. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

2. Children shall not play with the appliance.

3. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children, unless they are older than 8 years and are supervised.

4. Keep the appliance and the power cord out of the reach of children under 8 years.
5. Connect appliance only to an AC power supply with voltage corresponding to the voltage on the rating plate.
6. Do not operate this appliance with an external timer or remote control system.
7. Never immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or other liquids.
8. The base should never come into contact with water or other liquids. In case this ever happens, it must be completely dry before operating the appliance again.
9. Do not clean the electric kettle in a dishwasher.
10. Never touch the appliance or power cord with wet hands.
11. This appliance is intended to be used in household only.
12. For safety reasons, never place the appliance on hot surfaces, a metal tray or a wet surface.
13. Do not place the appliance or power cord near open flames during operation.
14. Always use the electric kettle on a level, uncluttered and heat-resistant surface.
15. Make sure that the power cord does not hang over the edge of the countertop or table, since this can cause accidents, for example if small children pull on the cord.

16. Route the power cord so that there is no possibility of the cord being pulled or tripped over.

17. Never wrap the power cord around the appliance; instead, use the power cord storage compartment on the bottom of the base.

18. Use the electric kettle only indoors.
19. Use the appliance only for heating water. Do not use it to heat milk or other liquids, since they will boil over when heated.
20. Never heat objects such as cans or bottles in the electric kettle.
21. Make sure that the lid of the appliance is always completely closed, to prevent injuries from hot splashing water.
22. Do not open the lid as long as the water is boiling, to prevent injuries from hot splashing water.
23. Never switch on the appliance if there is no water in the kettle.
24. Make sure that all users, especially children, are aware of the danger of injury from emerging steam or hot splashing water – danger of burns!
25. Never fill the appliance with more than 1.5 liters of water, to prevent the water from boiling over.
26. Do not move the appliance as long as it is in operation, to prevent burns from splashing water.
27. The electric kettle features boil dry protection, which means the appliance shuts off automatically if the heating element becomes too hot. Allow the appliance to cool about 15 minutes. Then fill the electric kettle with cold water. The boil dry protection is deactivated and the appliance is ready for operation again.

28. Do not use the appliance with accessories of other manufacturers or brands, to prevent damage.

29. Unplug the appliance from the power supply after use and prior to cleaning. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in to the power supply.

30. Check the appliance, the plug and the power cord regularly for wear or damage. In case of damage to the power cord or other parts, please send the appliance or the base for inspection and repair to our after sales service. Unauthorized repairs can result in serious risks to the user and void the warranty.
31. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Caution!

Do not open the lid while the water is boiling. If the kettle is overfilled, boiling water can splash out. The appliance becomes very hot during operation!

Never open the housing or the base of the appliance. There is danger of electric shock.

The manufacturer will not be liable in the event of incorrect assembly, improper or incorrect use or if repairs are carried out by unauthorized third parties.

FUNCTIONS

The electric kettle serves two functions:

Heating or boiling water

The water is heated to the pre-set temperature. You can thus choose to prepare hot water or bring the water to a roiling boil. You can set the temperature to 40 °C, 80 °C, 90 °C or 100 °C. The temperature set at the factory is 100 °C.

Keeping the water warm

The water is kept warm after it has been heated to the desired temperature. You can set the holding temperature to 40 °C , 80 °C or 90 °C .

No holding temperature has been set at the factory. The temperature holding function is disabled automatically when the kettle is taken off the base. This feature allows you to ensure that your water retains the desired temperature even if you do not use the water right away.

CLEANING AND CARE

Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off and disconnect the plug from the power socket. Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it.

1. Do not immerse the base, power cord or kettle in water or other liquids or wash them in the dishwasher.
2. Wipe off the base and the kettle with a damp cloth and a little dish washing detergent. Do not use scratching sponges, abrasive scouring agents, steel wool, metal objects, hot cleaning agents or disinfectants, since they can cause damage to the appliance.
3. Clean the kettle from the inside using a soft, damp sponge before rinsing the kettle out with clear water.
4. The appliance must be completely dry on the outside before you may use it again.
5. Should water have penetrated into the display, dry the housing well and do not use the appliance again for another 12 hours for reasons of electrical safety. If in doubt, contact our customer service department.
6. Store the appliance in a dry place and protected against dust.

DESCALING

Let the appliance cool down before descaling it.

1. To keep the appliance operating efficiently and to prolong its service life, it should be descaled regularly, depending on the hardness of your water.
2. Use off-the-shelf descaling products for electric kettles and comply with the manufacturer's instructions. To descale, fill the kettle to no more than half full, as the liquid may otherwise boil over and cause severe injuries.
3. Heat the liquid to no more than 80 °C (do not boil!) and allow it to sit in the kettle for some time.
4. Pour the descaling solution out of the kettle.
5. Next, fill the kettle with fresh water and bring the water to a boil. Pour this water out as well. Finish by rinsing the kettle with fresh water at least two times.
