ance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Rinse the interior of the kettle thoroughly with
clear tap water.
3. Select a suitable place for operating the appliance near a sufficient wall power
outlet, leaving a distance of at least 20 cm to the edge of the table or counter
and to any other object (see: ‘General Safety Instructions’). Completely unwind
the power cord and connect the power plug directly to the power outlet.
4. Fill the kettle with 1.5 litres of clear drinking water and bring the water to the
boil via the “Hot water” program (see: ‘Operation/Bringing Water to the Boil’).
Thereafter discard the water and wait until the kettle cooled down.
5. Repeat the previous step.
6. Then rinse the kettle with clear tap water. The appliance is now ready for use.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accesso-
ries are
out of reach of young children
. The glass parts (kettle, glass insert, glass
lid) could break or crack when handled carelessly. Even small splinters and shards
could cause severe injuries when getting into your food and beverages. Thus,
always handle the glass parts with special care to avoid injuries and damage. Do
not use any glass parts any longer when these parts are broken, cracked, or chip-
ped in any way.
Hot water and steam could case severe scalds.
Always ensure not to spill hot
water. Always ensure that the kettle will not fall or fall over while containing hot
water. During operation and some time thereafter, only touch the kettle and lid by
the handles, as the exterior of the kettle and the lid may be hot. Even with the lid
closed, hot steam could escape from under the lid. Do not hold any part of your
body or any delicate objects over or directly near the appliance while the appliance
is hot. Beware of hot steam and condensate, when removing the glass insert and/
or pouring out the water.
The kettle is heated via electrically powered heating elements. Do not attempt to
heat the kettle by any other source of heat. Directly within the kettle only clear drin-
king water and tea may be heated. Do not fill in any other beverages, food, or any
foreign liquids into the kettle. For heating food and beverages other than water or
tea, always use the glass insert.
Unplug the appliance and leave it cool down completely, before cleaning the appli-
ance, and when the appliance is not in use.
Do not leave the base unattended
while connected to the power supply.
If water runs out during operation, immediately unplug the appliance (see: ‘Solving
Problems’).
Ensure to place the appliance on a level, flat, stable, and dry surface. Do not place
the appliance near the edge of the working space or on inclined surfaces. Do not
operate the appliance in a tray or tub or on a metal surface to avoid high risk of
electric shock, when overflow or splashing of hot water occurs. To avoid overhea-
ting, before operation, always fill a sufficient amount of clear drinking water into the
kettle (at least 500 ml/MIN).
Do not operate the appliance with the kettle empty.
Always remove the kettle from the base and wait until the kettle cooled down,
before filling the kettle anew.
For adding water while a cooking program is run-
ning, always pour the cold water into the middle of the kettle. For this, take out the
glass insert first.
Do not leave cold water run down the side walls of the kettle, it
the kettle is hot.
Do not fill in more than the maximum amount (see: ‘Technical Specifications’). If the
kettle is overfilled, boiling water may splash out. For moving the kettle, always ensu-
re to hold the kettle level, when it is filled. Regularly de-scale the kettle (see: ‘Care
and Cleaning’).
Important:
The maximum water temperature of the keep warm function is limited to
90 - 95°C, because water will vaporize too quickly when kept at boiling tempera-
ture. Thus, the water level could fall easily below the minimum amount of 500 ml.
Note
Directly after the “Heating” phase, the actual water temperature within the kettle
could rise above the set temperature. Take this into account especially when using
only little amounts of water in the kettle and setting low temperatures.
REPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
WARNING:
Always ensure that glass kettle is undamaged, before preparing
any food or beverages within the kettle. There may be no cracks and chipped
edges. Even small splinters could cause severe injuries when getting into your food
or beverages.
1. Place the power base on the designated working place near an appropriate
wall power outlet (see: ‘General Safety Instructions’ and ‘Important Safeguards
for Electrical Appliances’).
2. Remove the kettle from the power base and remove the lid from the kettle.
3. Fill the desired amount of clear drinking water into the kettle. Ensure that the fil-
