Frequently Asked Questions - Dome 6447 OBH NORDICA

How do I descale the kettle?

Use ordinary household vinegar to cover the bottom, leave for a few hours, then rinse. Alternatively, use citric acid or lemon juice. Heat to 50-60°C to accelerate. Avoid sharp objects. After descaling, boil fresh water twice and discard.

Can I open the lid while the kettle is boiling?

No, never open the lid when the kettle is in use. Hot steam and boiling water may cause burns. The lid is lockable for safety.

What is the maximum water level?

The maximum capacity is 1.8 liters. Do not exceed this amount as boiling water may splash out. Use the external water level indicator below the handle.

Why does my kettle turn off before the water boils?

This may be due to scale buildup on the heating element. Descale the kettle thoroughly. If the problem persists, the dry-boiling fuse may be activated; check for scale and reset by filling with water.

How do I clean the scale filter?

Open the lid and carefully press out the filter. Brush off lime under running water with a soft dish brush, or soak in descaling liquid for a few minutes. Reinsert by pressing the upper rim to engage.

Is the kettle safe for children to use?

The kettle can be used by children aged 8+ under supervision. Children under 8 must be kept away from the appliance and cord. Cleaning and maintenance should not be done by children unless supervised.

Can I immerse the kettle or base in water?

No, neither the kettle nor the stand must be immersed in water or other liquids. The exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth.

What voltage does the kettle require?

The kettle must be plugged into a household outlet of 240 V only. Using other voltages may damage the appliance.

How should I use the kettle for the first time?

Boil water twice and discard it before using. This removes any small impurities from production.

What is the warranty coverage?

How to use the kettle

Pour water into the kettle – see the marking on the external water level gauge below the handle – and close the lid. Do not add water when the kettle is positioned on the base. The water used for the first couple of boiling must not be used as the kettle may have small impurities from the production.

NOTE: The kettle is equipped with a hinged, lockable safety lid that reduces the risk of scald considerably as the lid will not fall off if the kettle should overturn. The lid opens by pressing the locking device.

WARNING:

If the kettle is filled with too much water, boiling water might spurt out of the appliance. The maximum boiling capacity of the kettle is 1.8 litres and this amount must never be exceeded. Never switch on the kettle without water.

The kettle consists of two parts: The kettle itself and a separate, conductive base. The kettle shall be used only with the delivered base. Make sure that the cord is not hanging from the edge of the table in order to be out of children's reach. Put the plug in the wall socket and put the filled kettle on the base.

Switch on the kettle by depressing the switch below the handle, and a red lamp at the bottom of the kettle will be on.

When the water is boiling, the kettle will automatically turn off after a few seconds, the switch will go back – you will hear a click - and the lamp will go off. Remember to unplug the kettle when not in use. If the kettle has been removed from the base for a short period of time e.g. in order to fill in extra water – REMEMBER always to switch on the appliance again.

IMPORTANT:

Always keep the lid closed when the kettle is used. Otherwise there will be a risk that boiling water will spurt out of the kettle. The automatic switch off function is extremely sensitive in order to react at the right moment. In case the switch off function becomes irregular (the kettle turns off too early or too late), scaling could be the reason for the error (see instructions for descaling).

BE CAREFUL: The surface gets very hot during use!!!

Scaling and dry-boiling fuse

The kettle comprises an incorporated, double dry-boiling fuse:

If the heating unit is dressed with lime at the bottom, is connected without water or boils dry, the dry-boiling fuse will be activated and the heating unit cut off automatically. If this happens, check the kettle as to scale deposits in the bottom and descale if necessary. Test the kettle by filing in water and connect the appliance.

If the fuse still cuts off the heating unit before the water is boiling, hand over the kettle for check with the dealer, where the kettle was bought.

Nickel free

The kettle has a hidden heating unit of stainless steel and does therefore not release nickel.

Scale filter

The kettle comprises a lime filter in the spout. Remove the filter for cleaning in the following way: Open the lid of the kettle and carefully press out the filter. Now the lime on the filter can be brushed off under running water using a soft dish brush or you can immerse it into the descaling liquid for a few minutes, when you do your regular descaling of the kettle. After cleaning, insert the lime filter again. Make sure that the filter is placed correctly on the inner side of the kettle – and slightly press the upper rim of the filter to make it engage. It is very important tat the lime filter is cleaned before it is all dressed in lime, which will prevent the water from passing through the filter and seep along the sides at the lid, which may cause scalds.

Descaling and cleaning

Clean the kettle at regular intervals for scale and be aware of the following:

• Only boil the necessary amount of water – to save current. Empty the kettle after each use. This will reduce the amount of scale, and coffee and tee, brewed on fresh water, have a better taste.
• Check the status of scale often. We suggest that you, once a week, put ordinary, colourless household vinegar in the kettle just to cover the bottom. Leave the vinegar in the kettle for a few hours, pour it out and rinse carefully before use.
• If there is scale at the edge of the kettle, use one of the ordinary descaling means – such as e.g. citric acid. It is extremely important to carefully follow the instructions of the product and that the product is poured out after the duration of action and that the water used for the first couple of boiling after descaling is not used. Another possibility is to fill the kettle half way up with water from the tap and add the juice of one lemon. Bring the mixture to the boiling point and leave it for 15 minutes. Let the mixture boil thee times and leave it for 15 minutes each time. Now empty the kettle and rinse it thoroughly.
• If there is still a lot of scale left on the heating unit, descale the kettle again and make sure to descale regularly in the future.
• The descaling process is accelerated by heating the liquid to about 50-60°C.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use sharp objects for descaling/cleaning of the heating unit at the bottom of the kettle. If you do not descale the kettle at regular intervals, the kettle will be damaged. Such damage will not be covered by the warranty.

The exterior of the kettle can be wiped with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring powder or other aggressive detergents that may scratch the surface of the kettle. Do not put the kettle or the base in the dishwasher.

Disposal of the appliance
