5. Plug in and switch the power on.
o Caution! If you set the on/off switch (6) to the "I"
position before replacing the kettle on the base,
the kettle switches on automatically when
replaced on the base. For safety’s sake, check
the on/off switch position before replacing the
kettle on the base to avoid accidentally starting
the kettle.
6. Switch on the appliance by switching the on/off
button forward to "I". The on/off indicator in the
water indicator lights up, when the appliance is on
and heating the water.
The water will boil within a few minutes, depending
on the amount in the kettle. If you want to interrupt
the boiling, you can do this at any time by switching
the on/off button backward to "O". Once the water is
boiling, the kettle will automatically switch off thanks to
the integrated thermostat. The indicator light comes off
when the appliance is stopped and the on/off button
automatically switches to position “0”.
Anti boil-dry device
If you switch the kettle on without having filled it with
water, or when the water level is below the “MIN” mark,
the anti boil-dry device will automatically switch it off.
The kettle can be switched on normally, as soon as it is
filled with a sufficient amount of water.
Storage
If the kettle is to be stored for any length of time without
use, the cord can be rolled up around the inside of the
base. Ensure the appliance is clean and dry before
storing.
CLEANING THE KETTLE
When cleaning the appliance, you should pay
attention to the following points:
• Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the
appliance to cool down before cleaning.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Wipe using a well-wrung cloth and hot water. A little
detergent can be added if the appliance is heavily
soiled.
• Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or
other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior
or exterior surfaces of the appliance, as they may
scratch the surfaces.
• Make sure that no water gets into the connector on
the base or the hole in the underside of the kettle.
Decalcifying the kettle
The lime content of ordinary tap water means limescale
may gradually be deposited inside. This limescale may
be loosened using acetic acid (NOT ordinary vinegar) or
descaler, available in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 1 dl acetic acid with dl cold water, or follow
the instructions on the descaler packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the kettle and switch it on.
. Allow the solution to boil twice and then pour it out.
4. To remove the final residues of limescale and acetic
acid, pour cold water into the kettle again (up to the
"MAX" mark) and switch it on.
5. Pour out the water once it has boiled.
6. Repeat the process described under points 4-5
three times.
7. The filter (11) may be gently removed from the
locking devices in the spout (1).
8. Place the filter in a cup with descaler for a couple of
hours and thoroughly rinse it after decalcifying.
9. Gently replace the filter in the spout so that it is
gripped and held in place by the locking devices.
The appliance now ready for use.
