unattended, when it is in reach of young children.
• Do not place the appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces
(e.g. burner, heater, or oven).
Do not heat any parts or accessori-
es of the appliance via any external sources of heat (e.g. range,
microwave, teapot warmer).
Do not use any parts of the appliance
with any other device or for any purpose not described in this booklet.
Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence.
• Always switch OFF the appliance (hold the “Start/Stop” button
pressed until the signal sounds), unplug and wait for the appliance to
cool down completely, before cleaning the appliance and when the
appliance is not in use. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects
with the appliance (e.g. forks, knives, scrapers). The kettle is inten-
ded only for heating clear drinking water and/or tea. For de-scaling,
only use the liquids recommended in this booklet. Do not fill in any
other liquids or food to avoid injuries and damage due to fire, electric
shock, and high temperatures. We recommend to use clear tap water
or bottled water with low mineral content. Avoid using de-mineralized
water or mineral water.
• Do not heat any highly alcoholic liquids (e.g. grog, mulled wine) via
the appliance or pour any inflammable liquids into the kettle to avoid
explosion and fire. To avoid overheating, before operation, always
fill a sufficient amount of clear drinking water into the tea kettle (at
least 500 ml / MIN).
Do not operate the appliance with the kettle
empty.
Always observe the maximum filling level (1200 ml / MAX). If
the kettle is overfilled, boiling water may splash out. The filling level
could drop significantly, when operating the kettle for a long time on
high temperature.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring
pads), or any corrosive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning.
Do not
place any part of the appliance in an automatic dishwasher!
• Depending on the usage and hardness of your water, you need to
de-scale the kettle regularly. A large amount of scale will lead to ener-
gy loss and could cause damage to the appliance (see: ‘Care and
Cleaning’).
