OPERATION

CAUTION: The appliance becomes very hot during operation! Boiling water can cause scalding. Therefore, always handle the appliance with caution. For hygienic reasons, you should change the water in the water tank every day, since germs can eventually accumulate in unheated water.

If you heat water at a low temperature, it will not boil. When preparing baby food, for example, first boil the water and let it cool before putting it in the water tank.

1. Before using the appliance, prepare it as described in the chapter "Before first use".
2. Make sure that the drip tray is attached.
3. Remove the lid from the water tank.
4. Fill the water tank with plenty of fresh water. Do not fill with more than 2.5 litres of water. You can either use a container to pour the water into the water tank, our you can remove the tank for filling.
5. Fill the water tank to the "Max" marking (about 2.5 litres) and put the water tank back in the housing.
6. Place the lid on the water tank.
7. Place your container under the water outlet on the drip tray.
8. Press and hold the button about 3 seconds, to switch on the appliance.
9. Now select the desired water temperature by repeatedly pressing the “°C” button. As long as the heated water is circulating, this temperature will be displayed continuously; otherwise, the display will only flash.
10. Then press the button for the desired water quantity twice in quick succession. You can choose a water quantity of 150 ml, 250 ml or 350 ml.
11. The desired water quantity now flows from the water outlet at the desired temperature. Tip: A long press on the 350 ml button allows the entire contents of the water tank to run through.
12. Repeat the process as necessary.
13. To interrupt a process once started, press the button for the selected water quantity again. The appliance stops heating and switches off the pump; however, some water will continue to flow. To heat the same amount of water

again, press the button for the water quantity twice, or change the selected temperature, as desired.

1. The water quantity that flows out of the appliance can vary due to changing ambient conditions, so it may be lower or higher.

2. If you do not press any buttons within about 30 seconds, the appliance automatically switches to standby mode, for safety reasons. You must press the Ⓗ button again, to continue entering the settings.

3. Notice: If the appliance is in standby mode, the set temperature is retained until you disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

4. When the water tank is empty, the appliance stops heating and the Ⓗ button flashes briefly. The appliance returns to standby mode. Add fresh water and start the process again.

5. When you have finished preparing water, unplug the appliance from the power socket.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION

This water heater is equipped with overheating protection. In case of malfunctions or overheating of the appliance, it will switch off.

1. Disconnect the plug from the power socket.

2. Remove the water tank.

3. Pull the small key from the holder on the bottom of the appliance.

4. Use this key to press the reset button, which is on the back of the housing (see illustration), until you hear a soft click.

5. Alternatively, you can use a pointed object, such as a toothpick; for electrical safety reasons, however, do not use metal objects.

6. We recommend that you return the key to the holder on the bottom of the appliance, to keep it from being lost.

Rese

1. Then insert the water container back into the appliance.

REMOVING RESIDUAL WATER

1. The residual water that collects in the appliance must be drained regularly.
2. To do so, disconnect the plug from the power socket.
3. Remove the water tank and empty it.
4. The plug for residual water is on the bottom of the appliance.
5. Hold the housing over a sink, for example.
6. Carefully turn the appliance over and remove the plug cap.
7. Allow the residual water that has collected to drain.
8. While draining the water, take care not to misplace the plug, since without the plug, the water will exit the residual water drain instead of the water outlet.
9. After draining is complete, close the residual water drain with the plug and make sure that it is attached properly, to prevent accidental leaking of water.

DESCALING

CAUTION: The appliance becomes very hot during operation! Boiling water with descaler solution can cause scalding. Therefore, always handle the appliance with caution.

Descaling reminder function

1. To maintain the lifespan and performance of the appliance, please descale it regularly depending on the water hardness. For this purpose, the appliance has a reminder function which always appears after 12 hours of operation when the water temperature is above 85^ C . As soon as you have pressed the

button to end stand-by mode, the buttons for 150 ml and 250 ml flash to remind you to descale. After six seconds, this reminder disappears, and you can operate the appliance as usual. However, the reminder disappears permanently after descaling has been carried out.

Descaling

1. Use a commercially available descaler for kettles and follow the manufacturer's instructions and fill the water tank accordingly.

2. Place a sufficiently large container under the water outlet or place the appliance in a stable position on the edge of a sink.

3. Ensure that the appliance is not in stand-by mode. Now press the 150 ml and 250 ml buttons simultaneously, the descaling process starts and both buttons flash.

4. When the descaling process is complete, both buttons go out and the button lights up.

5. Complete the descaling process by filling the water tank completely up to the 'Max.' mark with fresh water and allowing this water to run through completely.

6. Then rinse the water tank with clean water.

7. Note: If you want to interrupt the descaling process, briefly press the 150 ml or 250 ml button. The appliance stops immediately.
