7.1. Boiling the water

DANGER of electric shock

Keep the base (9) away from water. There is danger of electric shock.

WARNING

Boil the water and pour it away twice before you use the kettle for the first time (see the previous section on 'Initial use').

WARNING

Always use fresh drinking water. Do not drink water that has been in the pot (6) for longer than an hour. Do not reheat water that has cooled down. Always pour away old water. Otherwise germs may form.

Cable rewind

An integrated cable rewind is located on the underside of the base (9). You can adapt the length of the power cable (8) to the conditions at the location in which you are using the kettle.

You can minimize the length of the cable when you are not using the kettle.

• Unwind the power cable (8) on the underside of the base (9). - Place the base (9) on a flat, non-slip, and dry surface. Make sure that the power cable (8) passes through the opening on the underside of the base (9). This is to ensure that the kettle is positioned securely.

WARNING

If the power cable (8) does not pass through the opening on the underside of the base (9), the base (9) and pot (6) are not positioned securely. The movement of the boiling water can make the kettle tip over and cause serious damage to property and cause injuries!

- Remove the lid (1).

"Minimum filling" display

The minimum amount of water to be filled is 0.5 l. This small amount can not be displayed on the external water level gauge (5).

For this reason, there is a special mark inside the pot (6) which precisely displays the minimum filling amount when you are filling in water. This mark can be seen inside the pot (6) when the lid (1) is open.

- Fill the pot (6) with drinking water up to a minimum of the interior "0.5 | MIN" mark and a maximum of the "1.7 | MAX" mark on the water level gauge (5) and place the lid (1) back on the pot (6).

You can freely rotate the pot (6) around its vertical axis when you place it on the base (9). The pot does not need to be locked into a particular position. This way, you can turn the pot (6) so that the water level gauge (5) is easy to see or to direct the steam away from you.

- Plug the connector into a power socket, which is always easily accessible.

- Place the pot (6) on the base (9) and press the ON/OFF switch (7) down in order to switch on the pot (6). The status display in the ON/OFF switch (7) lights up. The pot (6) makes noise during the heating process. This is not due to a malfunction.

DANGER of burn injuries

Turn the pot (6) so that the steam is directed away from you. Otherwise you could burn yourself.

Only boil water with the closed lid (1) on. Otherwise the pot (6) can tip over and cause burn injuries and damage to property.

- As soon as the water boils, the pot (6) switches off. The ON/OFF switch (7) automatically returns to the upper position and the status display in the ON/OFF switch (7) goes out.

- Pull out the power cable (8) plug from the socket, remove the pot (6) from the base (9) and pour out the water.

DANGER of burn injuries

Never touch the housing of the pot (6) during and immediately after operation. Only use the handle (2) to hold or carry the pot (6).

DANGER of burn injuries

Always make sure that the

lid (1) is on when pouring water. Hot water could otherwise flow out of the opening at the top used to fill the kettle.

8. Cleaning and care

DANGER of burn injuries

Wait until the pot (6) has cooled down completely before cleaning it. Otherwise you could burn yourself.

DANGER of electric shock

Always remove the plug from the power socket before cleaning commences. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

You can use a cleaning or bottle brush with a long handle to remove stubborn stains from inside the pot (6).

8.1. Descaling the pot (6)

Limescale may build up in the pot (6) over time. This can lead to loss of energy and shorten the pot's (6) service life. You should therefore remove the limescale as soon as it becomes visible.

• Use a descaling agent that is used for coffee machines and other household devices. Proceed as described in the instructions for the descaling agent.
• Rinse the pot (6) with plenty of clear water several times after descaling it.

8.2. Cleaning the limescale filter (3)

• Remove the cooled down pot (6) from the base (9).
• Remove the lid (1).
• Reach carefully into the pot (6) with your hand, grasp the upper end of the limescale filter (3), and pull it up and out of the holder (4). Please note that the holder (4) can not be removed.
• Place the limescale filter (3) in a warm descaling solution for household appliances (e.g., for coffee machines) for several hours and then rinse it thoroughly with clear water.
• Replace the limescale filter (3) by sliding it from above into the side guides of the holder (4).

- Place the lid (1) back onto the pot (6).

8.3. Storing the device when not in use

If the kettle will not be used for a longer period of time, store it in a clean and dry place.
