II. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

A - electric kettle

A1 – off/on button 0/I (steam sensor switch*) A4 – lid

A2 – control light A5 – lid lock button

A3 – handle

B – removable stand

B1 – central connector B2 – power cord

* The steam sensor ensures automatic switch off the appliance after reaching the boiling point.

III. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Before the first use, fill the electric kettle with clean water to the maximum level, turn it on and let the water boil. Then pour out the water and repeat the procedure several times (at least five times).

APPLICATIONS

Plug the fork of the power cord to the electric socket. Hold the kettle A on the handle A3. Open the lid A4 by pressing the lock button A5. Fill the kettle with drinking water. The minimum and maximum amount of water is marked inside the kettle. Close the lid by snapping. Put the electric kettle on the stand and turn it to the I position by the A1 button. Function of the electric kettle is signaled with the control light A2.

After boiling the appliance switches off automatically. Before reaching the boiling point, you can switch off the appliance by turning the A1 button to the 0 position.

Always use fresh drinking water for boiling.

ATTENTION

• When heating water, the lid must be closed, otherwise the kettle will not turn OFF.
• In bigger tilting of the electric kettle backwards, particularly when it is filled up to maximum, water can flow out from the electric kettle in the bottom part of the kettle.
  This does not affect safety or other functions and it does not mean any failure of the electric kettle. In the case of tilting the electric kettle with hot water there is a risk of scalding. Therefore do not tilt the electric kettle.
• If the kettle was removed from the stand during boiling, remains in ON position.
  This means that if you put it back on the stand, it will immediately continue in heating.

IV. MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance from power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out of the socket! Clean the kettle only when it is cooled down! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, scrapers, diluting agents or other solvents)! For cleaning the cover, use detergents for cleaning plastic surfaces. Clean the surface by wiping it with a soft and wet cloth. The inner casing of the electric kettle and the heating bottom is made of top-quality stainless steel, but in common use, impurities from water get stuck on them (water scale), particularly above the heating element. It is not rust or another material defect of the kettle container and the appliance is not subject to a complaint for this reason. If the power cord is soiled, wipe it with a wet cloth.

Cleaning the kettle

In the hard water area, it is important to do the decalcification regularly to keep the kettle in good working condition, because too much scale inside may cause the kettle fail to work. For the best performance of your kettle, decalcify the unit from time to time. The frequency depends on the hardness of your tap water and how many times you have used the kettle. Decalcification will clean the interior of the unit.

This may be done in the following manner:

Put about 50 g of citric acid into the kettle with limescale sediment. Fill the kettle half with water and stir. After dissolving, fill it up to 34 of maximum amount of water. Place the kettle on the stand and turn on. Turn off the kettle before reaching boiling point, let the solution work for 10 minutes and then pour it out. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with clean water. In case of very thick sediments, you can repeat the process.
