Frequently Asked Questions - SCKE17P SCHNEIDER

How to descale the Schneider SCKE17P kettle?

Use a descaling agent suitable for plastics. Follow the descaling agent instructions, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Boil water once to remove any chemical residue. In the case of very hard water, descale once a month.

Why does my kettle turn off before the water boils?

This is often due to an accumulation of limescale on the heating element. Regular descaling solves this problem. Also check that the water level is sufficient (at least one cup).

Can I open the lid while the water is boiling?

No, never open the lid during boiling. Hot steam would escape and could cause burns. Wait for the appliance to cool down.

How to clean the anti-scale filter?

Remove the filter located in the spout. Wash it with warm water and a little mild detergent. Gently brush if necessary. Rinse and replace. A clogged filter can slow down water flow.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check that the base is properly plugged in and the wall outlet works. Make sure the kettle is correctly placed on the base. If the button remains stuck, contact customer service.

What is the minimum amount of water required?

At least the equivalent of one cup of water (about 200 ml) is needed to avoid activating the dry boil protection. A level too low can damage the appliance.

Can I use the kettle without its base?

No, the kettle only works with the supplied base. The base contains the electrical connections. Using another base is dangerous and not compliant.

How to store the power cord?

Under the base there is an integrated cord storage. Wrap the cord around it and bring it out through the slot to adjust the length. Avoid letting the cord hang.

My kettle smells like new plastic. Is this normal?

Yes, the first few uses may produce a smell due to new materials. Boil water once or twice and discard it. The smell will then disappear.

Is the kettle compatible with induction cooktops?

No, this kettle is electric and requires its base to operate. It cannot be used on an induction cooktop or stove.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse the mains plug, power base, or kettle in water or any other liquid. Do not use in the bathroom or near any source of water. Do not use outdoors.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. Do not open the lid while the water is boiling.

4. Take care when pouring. Pour the water slowly, and do not overfill the kettle.

5. Water can remain hot for a considerable time after boiling and can present a scald hazard. Keep the kettle, the power base, and the mains lead away from the edge of worktops and out of the reach of children.

6. Do not allow the mains lead to hang over the edge of the table or worktop,

or anywhere it may be accidentally caught or tripped over.

1. Close supervision is necessary when the kettle is used near children.

2. Unplug the power base from the wall socket when not in use, before displacing and before cleaning. Allow the kettle to cool down fully before cleaning and before storing away.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed before switching the kettle on, otherwise it may not automatically switch off.

4. Check that the kettle is properly located on the power base before switching it on.

5. Do not switch on unless the kettle contains at least 1 cupful of water, otherwise you may damage it.

6. Do not fill above the bottom of the Max. mark on the water level indicator (1.7 liter)

7. Remove the kettle from its power base before filling or pouring.

8. Do not place the kettle, power base or mains lead on or near any hot surface, hotplate, hot hob or burner.

9. Do not use the kettle for any other purpose than heating water.

10. Use the kettle only with the power base supplied (and vice versa)
11. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has malfunctions or has been damaged in a manner. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by a special lead available from the Service department

HOW TO USE

Positioning

• Position the power base as close as possible from a power socket
- Place the mains lead so that it does not overhang the work surface, and cannot be caught accidentally. To shorten the mains lead, you can winding it around the cord storage area under the power base, and bring it out of the cord exit slot from the base.

Opening the lid

Remove the kettle from the power base. If the switch button has been pushed down inadvertently, it will spring up, into the "OFF" position.

Warning: if the water inside the kettle has just boiled, it will be full of steam, which will escape as soon as the lid will be opened.

Hold the handle firmly in one hand, grip the lid knob in the other, and pull the lid straight up. As soon as it separates from the kettle, move it out of the steam.

Filling

● Wherever possible fill through the spout.
● Watch the water level thanks to the water level indicator. You must use at least one cup of water, but the water level must be below the Max. mark.
- Do not overfill the kettle. If the kettle is overfilled, there is a risk that boiling water may be ejected.

Switching on

• Check that the switch is in the "OFF" position (lift the kettle from the power base and set it down again).
• Plug the power base into the wall socket. If necessary, switch the socket on. Gently position the kettle on the power base, taking care not to spill any water.
• Press the switch down. The switch will light up, and the kettle will start to heat up.
• When the water has been boiled, the kettle will switch off automatically, the switch will return to the "OFF" position and the light will go out.

Switching off

- If you need to switch the kettle off at any time before the water boils, simply lift it from the power base and set it down again. The switch will pop up into the "OFF" position.

GENERAL

- When you lift the kettle from the base, you may see moisture on the surface of the base. This is the steam used to switch the kettle off automatically, which then condenses and is allowed to escape via vents in the underside of the kettle. Do not lift it backwards, as this may allow water to pass through the steam aperture on to the control area. Should this occur, the kettle must be allowed to dry before use.

● To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the kettle.

MISUSE

1. Do not switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of water. Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element.
2. If the kettle is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off. Wait until the kettle has cooled down before filling, as the element will be hot and spitting may occur.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning

1. Switch the kettle off (lift it from the power base), unplug the power base from the wall socket and let the kettle cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside and inside surfaces of the kettle with a damp cloth. If necessary, you may use a little household detergent (use the lid to clean the kettle). To clean the filter, see "Water filter" below. If you use detergent inside the kettle, rinse thoroughly afterwards to remove all trace of the detergent.
3. Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.

Do not immerse the kettle or power base in water or any other liquid.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Do not put the kettle and the power base in a dishwasher.

Descaling

Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety cut out to operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the water boils.

As the element is mounted beneath the kettle, there are no awkward nooks and crannies for the scale to get a foothold. It can build up only on the walls and floor of the kettle, where it can be seen and dealt with.

To minimize scale build-up:

1. Empty the kettle after each use; do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight; use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.
2. Descale the kettle regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. In areas of very hard water descaling may be necessary as often as once a month.
3. When descaling, follow the instructions on the packet of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the kettle and rinse it out several times with fresh water, then fill it with fresh water and boil the water. Then, discard the water. This should ensure no chemical residues are left in the kettle.

Please note : products returned during the guarantee period with faults that are directly related to scale built-up will be subject to a repair charge.

Water filter

The scale particles that remain suspended in the water may give it a cloudy or greasy appearance, depending on the hardness of the water.

The filter fitted to your kettle will prevent these parties passing into your drink. You must ensure that the filter is kept clean and clear of deposits otherwise the performance of your kettle may be adversely affected, your drinks may contain scale particles, and the water inside the kettle may look cloudy.

You should clean the filter whenever there are any noticeable deposits left on it, and especially if pouring is affected in any way.
