Frequently Asked Questions - PCWKS 1190 G PROFICOOK

How to descale the kettle?

Use a descaling product based on citric acid. Fill the kettle to the MAX level with water and the descaler, then boil. Let it sit, empty, and rinse several times with clean water. Do not drink this water.

How to clean the outside of the kettle?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the outside with a slightly damp cloth. Never immerse the kettle or the base in water.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check the power outlet with another appliance. Make sure the plug is properly inserted and the main circuit breaker has not tripped. If the problem persists, contact customer service. The appliance may also be overheated: let it cool for 15 minutes before trying again.

Can I heat other liquids besides water?

No, this appliance is designed only for heating and boiling water. Heating other liquids or foods may cause injury and damage the appliance.

What is the maximum capacity of the kettle?

The maximum capacity is 1.7 liters. Do not exceed the MAX mark to avoid boiling water splashes.

How does the temperature indicator work?

The water tank illumination changes color according to temperature: green (0-50°C), light blue (50-70°C), dark blue (70-80°C), purple (80-90°C), red (100°C). This allows you to visualize the water temperature without opening the lid.

Can I open the lid during boiling?

No, do not open the lid while the water is boiling, as you risk burns from steam or splashes. Use the handle to pour while keeping the lid closed.

How to rewind the power cord?

The cable can be wound under the base. Follow the cable guide located under the base to store it neatly after use.

What to do if the appliance stops before water boils?

This may be due to excess limescale or an overloaded electrical circuit. Perform descaling as indicated in the manual. Also check that the kettle is plugged into a suitable outlet (do not use a multi-socket adapter).

Can I use the kettle without water?

No, never operate the kettle without water or with a level below the MIN mark. The overheat protection will stop it automatically, but this may reduce its lifespan.
