How to use the hot water function of the FAGOR TK-500 electric kettle?

Question

Accepted Answer

The FAGOR TK-500 electric kettle is a sophisticated automatic model with a LED display and digital temperature selection. Here’s how to fully utilize this function:

Preparation and filling: Place the device on a dry, flat, and stable surface. Open the lid by pressing the opening buttons (2) and fill the kettle with the desired amount of water. The water level must be between the "MINI" and "MAXI" marks. Maximum capacity: 1.7 L, minimum capacity: 0.5 L. Make sure to close the lid properly; otherwise, the kettle will not automatically stop when boiling.

Temperature selection: Place the kettle on its base and plug it in. The TK-500 offers 13 temperature settings ranging from 40°C to 100°C in 5-degree increments. First, press the " + " or " - " button to display the current water temperature in the kettle. The display remains active for 10 seconds; after this time, it will turn off automatically. Continue pressing " + " or " - " to increase or decrease the temperature as needed. Then press the main button to start heating. The display will start flashing during the heating phase.

Heating cycle and automatic shut-off: Once the water reaches the programmed temperature, the numbers on the display stop flashing and remain fixed. The kettle then counts down two minutes automatically before entering standby mode. You can manually stop it before this time by pressing the main button again. Never pour additional water while the kettle is heating. Do not leave water in the kettle for an extended period or overnight.

Keep warm function: This kettle also has a handy function to keep the water warm. After selecting your temperature with the " + " or " - " buttons, press the "keep warm" button and then the main button. The device will keep the water at the chosen temperature for a maximum of one hour. A dot appears in the lower right corner of the screen to indicate that this function is active. After one hour, or if you press the main button again, the function stops and the kettle returns to standby mode.

Essential warnings: Never fill beyond "MAXI" as boiling water may overflow. Do not use the kettle with a water level below "MINI" (automatic protection against dry operation: wait 10 minutes, fill with cold water, and plug it back in). Be cautious of scalding steam when opening the lid: use the handles. Never move the device when it is plugged in. Heat and high-temperature steam escape immediately upon opening the lid.
