Frequently Asked Questions - EKG301 BLAUPUNKT

What should I do before using the kettle for the first time?

Fill the kettle to MAX level, boil the water, and pour it out. Repeat this process four times to remove any manufacturing residue. For stubborn smells, boil a few more times.

Can I boil liquids other than water in this kettle?

No, only water should be boiled in this kettle. Boiling other liquids like milk or soup can damage the kettle and void the warranty.

How do I descale the kettle?

Use a descaling mixture or citric acid. Fill the kettle with water and descaler, boil, let it sit, then rinse thoroughly at least three times. Descaling is not covered by warranty.

Why does the kettle turn off before the water boils?

If the kettle hasn't cooled down after previous use, the automatic shut-off may prevent immediate reboiling. Wait at least 5 minutes before using again.

What does the indicator lamp mean?

The indicator lamp lights up when the kettle is switched on and turns off automatically once the water boils or when you manually turn off the switch.

How much water should I add?
