Frequently Asked Questions - WK 403 GRAEF

How to use the kettle for the first time?

Before first use, fill the kettle with cold water up to the maximum level and boil it. Then discard this water to remove manufacturing residues.

What is the maximum capacity of the kettle?

The maximum capacity is 1 liter, indicated by the MAX mark inside. Do not exceed this level to avoid overflow.

How to clean the kettle?

Unplug it and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products. Never immerse the kettle or base in water.

How to descale the kettle?

Fill the kettle 3/4 full with water and boil. Add vinegar up to the MAX level (without boiling). Let it sit overnight, then rinse several times with clean water.

What to do if the kettle does not turn on?

Check that the outlet works and the base is properly plugged in. If the dry boil protection has been triggered, wait for the appliance to cool down before refilling with water and turning it on again.

Does the kettle turn off automatically?

Yes, it shuts off automatically as soon as the water boils. You can also lift it from the base during operation, which activates the safety shut-off.

Can I boil water again after it stops?

Yes, wait about 30 seconds after the automatic shut-off, then press the switch again to restart boiling.

How to change the anti-scale filter?

The filter is removable. Carefully remove it, clean it under running water, or replace it if necessary. Refer to the manual for spare parts.

Is the kettle suitable for children?

Children aged 8 years and above can use it under supervision. The appliance becomes very hot, keep it out of reach of children under 8 years.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of the reach of children less than 8 years.
• The unit is not intended to be used with an external timer or a separate telecontrol system.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

- Do not use the unit if the connection cable or plug is damaged.

- To prevent hazards, before continuing to use the unit have a new connection cable installed solely by the manufacturer or its customer service department or a similarly qualified person

- Never open the unit housing under any circumstances. If live connections are touched and the electrical or mechanical structure changes, there is a danger of electric shock.

- Never touch any parts that are conducting electricity. They can cause an electric shock or even lead to death.

- Always pull the power supply line from the electric socket with the connection plug, not on the connection cable.

- Make sure the mains cable does not get caught anywhere, which could lead to the unit falling down.

- Do not use the packing material as a toy. Danger of suffocation.

- Do not fill the electric kettle with water past the highest mark. Water that bubbles over can lead to injuries.

- Do not touch the outer wall of the unit; it can get hot.

- Never immerse the unit or the base station into water or any other liquid.

- Touch the unit only on the handle.

- Make sure there is always sufficient water in the unit (the bottom should be covered) to prevent dry boiling.

- Never use the unit near a heat source.

- Never use the unit outdoors. Store in a dry place.

- Always pull the plug from the electric socket when filling with water, after each use and before cleaning.

- Make sure to use the unit only together with the supplied base station. Never use the base station for any other purpose.

- Switch the unit on only after you have filled it with water. Use cold

water only.

• The lid of the unit must always be firmly closed.

UNPACKING

To unpack the unit, proceed as below:

• Take the unit out of the carton.
- Remove all pieces of the packing.

- Remove any possibly extant labels on the unit (do not remove the rating label).

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

For safe and flawless operation of the unit, the place of location must meet these prerequisites:

• The unit must be set up on a firm, flat, level and non-slip base that has sufficient load bearing capacity.
  • Make sure the unit cannot fall over.
• Select the location so that children cannot reach the hot surfaces of the unit and cannot touch the cable.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Read these operating instructions thoroughly and keep them handy for referral later on.

This unit brings water to boil in a few minutes.

- To clean the unit, first fill the unit with clear, cold water and then boil it. Subsequently pour away the water because of hygenical reasons.

- Put the unit back onto the base station and push the ON-/OFF switch. The indicator lights blue and the unit is switched on.

Important: Do not open the lid during the boiling process.

Make sure you do not exceed the internal maximum filling level mark.

Fill the unit so that the water level is definitely between the minimum and maximum indicator line.

- As soon as boiling stops, the unit automatically shuts off.

• The indicator light extinguishes.

- If desired, you can press the on/off switch again to boil the water once more. However, before doing that, please wait about 30 sec. after the unit automatically shut itself off.

LIME FILTER

The removable lime filter prevents lime scale being poured out.

DRY RUNNING AND OVERHEATING PROTECTION

This unit is equipped with a dry running and overheating protection system. If you ever operate the unit without any water or with too little water, the unit shuts itself off. Wait a moment until the unit has cooled off. Fill the unit with water and

continue as usual.

LIFT-OFF SHUT-OFF

If you happen to lift the unit off the base station while boiling, the unit shuts itself off. This is the so-called lift-off shut-off.

CLEANING

First pull the plug out of the electric socket and let the unit cool off.

Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, moist cloth. If heavily soiled, you can use a mild detergent.

DECALCIFYING

Depending on the hardness degree of the water, lime scale can build up over time on the bottom and on the interior wall of the stainless steel tank. The harder the water, the faster the lime scale builds up. That is harmless but it can impair the performance of the unit.

For that reason, we recommend regularly decalcifying the unit as follows

• Fill the unit three-quarters full with water.
• Boil it.

- After the unit has shut itself off, fill the unit additionally with distilled white vinegar up to the MAX mark.

Important: Never boil this mixture!

• Let the mixture stand overnight.
• Empty the unit and rinse it out several times with clear water.
