z z

There are feet on the underside of the base. As the furniture/floor surfaces are made of diverse materials and are treated with diverse care products, it cannot be entirely ruled out that some of these materials contain components, which could attack and soften the appliance feet. If necessary, place a non-slip underlay under the base.

Do not clean the kettle with hard, scratching or abrasive detergents, steel wool, or similar.

As soon as the mains plug is inserted into a socket and the kettle is placed on the base, the appliance consumes a small amount of electricity, even if you are not boiling water. Pull out the mains plug in order to completely disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Keeping water warm

The kettle has a keep-warm function.

z z z

With a temperature of 40, 60, 80 or 100 °C, you can keep the water warm for approx.

30 minutes. Afterwards, the kettle switches off automatically; two signal tones will sound and all LEDs will extinguish.

If you have set a keep-warm temperature of 100 °C, the water will be kept warm within a range of 90-100 °C, in order to avoid excess steam generation.

If you have set a keep-warm temperature of 40, 60 or 80 °C, the kettle will keep the temperature approx. 8 °C below/above the set temperature.

Please note:

z z z z

Only use the keep-warm function if a minimum of 0.5 litres of water are in the kettle.

Otherwise, the small amount of water could boil away during the next 30 minutes and the dry-run protection (see page 11) will switch the appliance off.

If you cannot set a temperature, it is probably because the water temperature in the kettle is still higher than the desired temperature.

You can stop the boiling procedure at any time by pressing the on/off button or the

KEEP WARM button

As soon as you lift the kettle off of the base, the appliance will switch off and all settings will be lost.

The keep-warm function can be activated before, during and directly after boiling water.

Prior to boiling water:

1.

Press the KEEP WARM button.

2.

Press the SET TEMP button repeatedly until the appropriate temperature LED illuminates in the operating panel.

4.

Rinse the sieve under running water or clean it using a damp cloth.

5.

Reinsert the sieve into its holder in front of the spout. Ensure that it locks in securely.

If the sieve is already very calcified, place it into a mixture of water and vinegar (6:1 ratio) for a few hours. Afterwards, rinse the sieve with plenty of clear water.

Descaling

You should descale the kettle on a regular basis, as a very calcified kettle requires more electricity. How often the appliance needs descaling will depend on the hardness of the water used and frequency of use. z z

With normal use, you should descale the kettle every 3 months with soft water and 1x per month with hard water.

You should descale the appliance regularly to avoid thick calcification forming on the heating element in the kettle.

You can obtain information about the water hardness in your area from the local water authority.

For descaling, you can use commercially available descaler (pay attention to manufacturer instructions) or mix household vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio.

1.

Fill the kettle with descaling liquid and boil it.

2.

Afterwards, leave the liquid to take effect, for approx. half an hour.

3.

Where thick calcification is present: Boil the descaling liquid a second time.

Then, pour it away.

4.

Refill the kettle with fresh water, boil the water and also pour it away.

Afterwards, you can use the kettle as usual.

Faults and Rectification

Fault

No function.

Possible causes and rectification

- Mains plug in the socket?

- Kettle placed correctly on the base?

- Has the dry-run protection activated?

(see page 11).

Two signal tones sound when the button

is pressed.

Boiling process taking very long.

The temperature cannot be set during boiling/keeping warm.

- Function not possible, e.g. if you intend to heat the water to 60 °C, but the water is already at this temperature (e.g. from a previous boiling process).

- Correct temperature set?

- The kettle must be descaled, see page 12.

- Check whether the sieve is dirty inside and clean it, if necessary, see page 12.

When pouring, only a small amount of water is coming out of the spout.

Stains are forming on the base of the inside of the kettle.

- These are limescale deposits. These are not harmful, but must be removed on a regular basis, see page 12.

The kettle does not switch off, although the water is boiling.

- Switch the kettle off and allow it to cool.

Check whether the lid is closed and locked in. Risk of scalding from hot water vapour!

- The water temperature in the kettle is probably still higher than the temperature that you intend to set. Allow the water to continue cooling in the kettle and select a higher temperature.
