10 Operation

WARNING

DANGER OF SCALDING

AND BURNS!

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.

Never touch the hot parts of the kettle.

• Only pick up the kettle using the handle. Also point out the dangers to other users!
• 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.
  • Always keep the cover closed when pouring out the heated water.

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.

• When filling the water, note that the water level must be between MIN and MAX on the level indicator.
• Press the cover lock button to open the cover.
• Fill the desired amount of cold water into the water container.
• Place the water container on the base.
• Close the cover. Make sure that the cover audibly engages.

EN

• 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.
• To interrupt the boiling process prematurely, press the on/off switch upwards.
• Wait a moment until the water stops bubbling.
• Remove the water container from the base.
• Pour out the water slowly through the pouring opening.

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.

11 Cleaning and

maintenance

WARNING

DANGER OF SCALDING

AND BURNS!

The kettle becomes hot during operation and hot water vapour escapes!

• Always allow the kettle to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Keep yourself and other persons away from escaping water vapour!
- Close the cover before switching on the kettle!
- Never open the cover when pouring hot water!

IMPORTANT

The kettle can be damaged by improper cleaning.

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, brushes with metal or nylon bristles, or sharp or metallic
• cleaning objects such as knives, hard spatulas and the like.
  • These can damage the surfaces.
• Never put the water tank or the base in the dishwasher. Doing so would destroy the kettle.
• Never immerse the kettle in water for cleaning and do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning. The kettle may otherwise be damaged.

11.1 Cleaning

• Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.
• Allow the kettle to cool down completely.
• To clean the outside of the stainless steel water container, use a stainless steel care product available in specialised stores. Observe the manufacturer's instructions for use.
• Open the cover of the water container.
• 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.

11.2 Descaling

The manufacturer recommends to descale the kettle regularly, as a heavily calcified kettle increases the power consumption. The intervals at which you should descale the kettle depend on the hardness of the water used and the frequency of use.

• Descale the kettle every 3 months for normal use and soft water and 1x per month for hard water.
  • Information about the water hardness in your residential area can be obtained from the responsible waterworks.
• Descale the kettle at the latest when the boiling process takes a very long time or heavy limescale deposits have formed on the heating plate in the water container.
• 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.
• Boil the descaling liquid in the kettle.
  • After boiling, leave the liquid to soak for about half an hour.
• If the calcification is more severe, boil the liquid a second time.
• Then pour away the liquid.
• Boil fresh tap water and pour it away after boiling.
• Now the kettle is descaled and you can use it again as usual.

11.3 Storage

Once the mains plug is inserted into a plug socket and the water container is placed on the base, the appliance will consume a small amount of power even if you are not boiling water. Unplug the mains plug from the socket to completely disconnect the kettle from the mains when not in use.

12 Troubleshooting
