Problem
Possible Reason
The Easy Solution
The power base gets
unexpectedly hot during
operation.
The power cord has been
wound partly around
the cable storage during
operation.
Always unwind the power cord completely before
operation to avoid overheating.
The power socket in the
centre of the power base
or the pins at the bottom
of the kettle are dama-
ged or corroded.
Immediately unplug the appliance. Check the power
connector at the bottom of the kettle and the power
socket of the power base for discolouration, distorti-
on, or corrosion. Do not use the appliance again, if
the pins are not smooth and clean. There is no use
in trying to clean or repair the pins of the power con-
nector as the power socket in the power base will be
affected as well.
The power cord is
damaged.
Contact an authorised service centre for replacement.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
– Always switch OFF the kettle via the ON/OFF button (all
buttons get dark), unplug, and leave the appliance cool down, before cleaning
the appliance. Always ensure that all parts of the appliance are out of reach of
children younger than 8 years.
Do not spill or pour any liquids on or in the power base or power cord. Do not
place or immerse the appliance or any part of it in any liquids to avoid damage,
risk of fire, and electric shock.
Especially keep the power socket at the power base
and the power connector in the bottom of the kettle always completely dry.
Do not
attempt to clean the power socket or the power connector, to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids (e.g. bleach, solving
agents) for cleaning the appliance or any part of it, to avoid damage to the surfaces
and seals. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning (e.g. scoring
pads, knives, scrapers). Do not use violence.
DO NOT clean the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher!
Depending on the water hardness and the frequency of usage, the interior of the kettle
gets coated with grey or sand-coloured scale. To keep the appliance always ready for
usage, and to avoid damage to the heating elements, you should de-scale the kettle
in time (see: ‘De-scaling the Kettle’).
