Safety notices for use of the contact base / electric kettle

The appliance meets the requirements of the applicable ECG directives.

The appliance is intended for in-door use only.

- Do not fill the electric kettle with water past the MAX marking. Scalding may result from water boiling over.

- Dry the contact base with an absorbent dry kitchen towel.

– Dry the surface beneath the contact base.

- Plug the unit into the wall socket again.

Operation

• Plug the power plug into the wall socket.
• Remove the electric kettle from the contact base.
• Open the lid of the removable kettle by pressing the button to open the lid.
• NOTE: For your safety, the lid is equipped with a locking device. If the electric kettle is accidentally overturned during use, the lid will not open. This reduces the risk of being scalded by spilled water.
  • Fill the electric kettle with water.
• Close the lid manually.
• MAKE SURE not to fill water past the maximum marking (= 800ml) inside the unit or not to fall below the 200 ml marking.
• Place the electric kettle anywhere on the contact base.
  • The unit is ready for operation now.
• To switch it on, press the ON/OFF switch on the bottom of the handle. The switch locks into place and the indicator light lights up.
• When the water boils, the electric kettle automatically switches off.
• You can interrupt the boiling process at any time by pushing up the ON/OFF switch.
• To pour the water, lift the electric kettle from the contact base.
• IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the device is switched off before removing the electric kettle from the contact base.

Overheating protection device

The electric kettle is equipped with an over-heating protection device. In the event that you accidentally operate the electric kettle without water or if the water level is too low, causing the water to evaporate during boiling, the device will automatically switch off for your safety. The device will be ready to operate once it has been filled with cold water.

Cleaning

• CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance in water and do not clean under running water!
• Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.
• Clean very dirty appliances either with lukewarm water or with a stainless steel cleaner.
• If a stainless steel cleaner is used, make sure that it is not aggressive and does not contain chlorine or acids.

Care

• Use a special stainless steel care product for minor cleaning (water stains, light fingerprints, etc.).
• CAUTION: Use only for the exterior! Do not use on surfaces that come into contact with food (inside).

Decalcifying

• If you have hard water, the electric kettle should be decalcified regularly (depending on the hardness of the water, about every 2 - 3 weeks).
• Use a commercially available liquid decalcifying

product (do not use chemical decalcifiers) and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

- Tip: Mild calcium deposits can also be removed with a mixture of 2 to 3 tablespoons of vinegar in 0.3 l of water.

Please observe the following when decalcifying the machine:

• First, pour cold water into the electric kettle (if the decalcifier foams excessively, use only 0.3 l of water).
• Briefly bring it to a boil.
• Now, add the decalcifier and let the device stand for a while.
• CAUTION: Do not bring this mixture to a boil.
• After decalcifying, rinse the pot twice with clear water.
• Do not clean the electric kettle with heavily abrasive cleaners. They could scratch the appliance.
• Note: Regularly decalcifying your electric kettle will reduce the electricity used and prolong the life of the appliance. The calcium content of water varies from region to region. Please consult your local water works or utility works for information on water hardness.
  • In the event of malfunctions due to calcium deposits, the guarantee will be voided!
