Frequently Asked Questions - VK 102 HYUNDAI

How do I clean the Hyundai VK 102 kettle?

Unplug the kettle and let it cool. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, descale regularly using citric acid (see descaling question). Do not use abrasive cleaners. The sieve filter can be removed and rinsed under running water.

What is the maximum water capacity?

The maximum capacity is 1.0 liters. Do not exceed the MAX mark on the water gauge to avoid splashing. The minimum is 0.4 liters.

Does the kettle have auto shut-off?

Yes, the kettle switches off automatically when the water reaches boiling point, thanks to the steam sensor. It also has boil-dry protection that disconnects power if the kettle is empty or overheats.

Can I heat other liquids besides water?

No, this kettle is designed only for heating water. Heating other liquids may damage the appliance and void the warranty.

How do I descale the kettle?

Dissolve about 50 g of citric acid in water up to 3/4 of the maximum mark. Boil, then let it sit for 10 minutes. Pour out and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if scale is heavy.

What should I do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check that the kettle is properly seated on the base and the power cord is plugged in. If still not working, the thermal safety lock may have tripped. Let the kettle cool down, then try again. If the problem persists, contact a qualified service center.

Is the base removable?

Yes, the kettle sits on a removable stand with a central connector. The stand is for power supply only and should not be used for other purposes.

A2 - control light A6 - lid lock button (PUSH)

A3 – water gauge A7 – filtration sieve

A4 – handle

B – removable stand

B1 – central connector B2 – power cord

III. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Fill the kettle with clean cold water up to max., turn it on and let the water boil before first use. Then Pour the water out and repeat the process several times (at least five times). You will boil the kettle out properly this way and get rid of potential taste of plastic. If you feel like you have aftertaste of plastic from boiled water, we recommend to repeat the procedure according to the instructions in the paragraph MAINTENANCE – cleaning the kettle. Another recommendation is to leave the empty kettle open for 24 hours. Plug the fork of the power cord to the electric socket. Hold the kettle A on the handle A4. Open the lid A5 by pressing the lock button A6. Fill the kettle with drinking water. The minimum and maximum amount of water is marked on the water gauge A3. 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 steam sensor will not be working.

- 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)! The casing of the electric kettle is made of top-quality plastic material 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.

Cleaning the sieve (A7)

Take the sieve from the kettle. Clean it from possible sediments in running water using a fine brush. Then put the sieve back in the opposite way.

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. Clean the kettle regularly!
