8.2 Operating the appliance

The kettle gets hot during operation and hot steam escapes, so you may get burned or scalded!

If the cover is not closed properly when the kettle is turned on, the kettle cannot turn off automatically and the hot water may boil over.

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY AND DAMAGE!

If you heat too much water in the kettle, hot water may spurt out of the water container. If you heat too little water, the kettle may overheat and be damaged.

1. When filling the water, note that the water level must be between MIN and MAX on the level indicator.
2. Press the cover lock button to open the cover.
3. Fill the desired amount of cold water into the water container.
4. Place the water container on the base.
5. Close the cover. Make sure that the cover audibly engages.
6. Press the on/off switch down. The on/off switch and level indicator light up and the water heats up. When the water boils, the kettle automatically turns off and the light goes out.
7. To interrupt the boiling process prematurely, press the on/off switch upwards.
8. Wait a moment until the water stops bubbling.
9. Remove the water container from the base.
10. Pour out the water slowly through the pouring opening.
11. The manufacturer recommends not to reheat stagnant water. Pour it away or use it cooled for watering flowers.

Dry run protection

To prevent damage to the kettle, the dry run protection automatically switches on when there is no liquid left in the kettle. This function serves exclusively as a safety device and is not intended to increase operating comfort.

If the dry run protection has been triggered:

• Remove the mains plug from the plug socket.
• Allow the kettle to cool down.

Afterwards, you can use the kettle again as usual.

➢ Never touch the hot parts of the kettle.
Only pick up the kettle using the handle.
Keep away from escaping water vapour.
Note that hot steam may escape from the kettle even after it has been switched off!
➢ Always close the cover before turning on the kettle. Make sure that the cover audibly engages and is locked.
When pouring out heated water, always keep the cover closed.

9 Cleaning and maintenance

For hygienic reasons, clean the outside and inside of the appliance, including accessories and interior fittings, regularly. Before carrying out any maintenance and servicing work, disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.

ATTENTION

APPLIANCE DAMAGE!

Improper use of the appliance can result in damage.

• Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the plug socket before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
• The appliance is not dishwasher safe.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could get into electrical components.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Do not use abrasive sponges.
• Essential oils and organic solvents, e.g. the juice of lemon or orange peel, butyric acid or cleaning agents containing acetic acid can attack plastic parts. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with parts of the appliance.

ATTENTION

SHORT CIRCUIT!

Water in the housing can cause a short circuit.

Never immerse the appliance in water.

Cleaning the appliance

1. Pull out the mains plug.
2. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
3. To clean the water container (plastic or glass), rinse with conventional washing-up liquid. Use a commercially available stainless steel care product on the outside of the stainless-steel water container. Observe the manufacturer's instructions for use.
4. Clean the housing with a soft cloth.
5. Open the cover of the water container.
6. Remove the filter insert, which is attached in front of the pouring opening. To do this, grasp the filter insert by the wide bar and pull the filter insert upwards out of the holder, then rinse under running water.
7. After cleaning, rub all parts dry.
8. Then reassemble the appliance. Pull out the mains plug.

Descaling

The manufacturer recommends to descale the appliance regularly, as a heavily calcified appliance increases the power consumption.

1. Fill the descaling liquid into the water tank. For this purpose, you can mix household vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio or use commercial descaler. When using a descaler, follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
2. Boil the descaling liquid in the appliance.
3. Leave the liquid to soak for about half an hour after boiling
4. If the calcification is more severe, boil the liquid a second time.
5. Then pour away the liquid.
6. Boil fresh tap water and pour away after boiling.

Observe the following instructions for descaling:

The intervals at which you should descale the appliance depend on the hardness of the water used and the frequency of use.
Descale the appliance every 3 months for normal use and soft water and 1x per month for hard water.
➢ Information about the water hardness can be obtained from the responsible waterworks.
➢ Descale the appliance at the latest if the boiling process takes a long time or if heavy lime deposits have formed on the heating plate in the water tank.

Storage

Clean the appliance again if necessary. Store the appliance and all accessories in a dry place away from direct sunlight and from access by children or animals.

10 Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Remedy
