The water will boil within a few minutes,
depending on the amount of water in the
kettle. If you want to interrupt the boiling,
you can shut off the appliance at any time
using the On/Off button.
Once the water is boiling, the appliance
will automatically switch off thanks to the
integrated thermostat.
ANTI BOIL-DRY DEVICE
If you switch the appliance on without
having filled it with water, or when the wa-
ter level is below the “MIN” mark, the anti
boil-dry device will automatically switch
it off. The appliance can be switched on
normally as soon as it is filled with a suf-
ficient amount of water.
CLEANING
When cleaning the appliance, you should
pay attention to the following:
• Remove the plug from the mains
socket, and allow the appliance to
cool down completely before cleaning
it.
• Never submerge the appliance base,
cord or plug in water, and no water
must be allowed to enter the appli-
ance base.
• Clean the appliance and base by wip-
ing with a damp cloth. A little deter-
gent can be added if the appliance is
heavily soiled.
• Do not use scouring pads, steel wool
or any form of strong solvents or
abrasive cleaning agents to clean the
appliance, as they can damage the
external surfaces of the appliance.
• IMPORTANT! Allow the appliance to
dry fully after cleaning before using
again. The appliance must not be
used if the base or the underside of
the appliance is wet.
• Make sure the appliance is clean and
dry before stowing it away for longer
periods of time.
DESCALING
The lime content of ordinary tap water
means lime scale may gradually be
deposited inside the appliance. This lime
scale may be loosened using acetic acid
(NOT ordinary vinegar) or descaler, avail-
able in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 100 ml acetic acid with 300 ml
cold water, or follow the instructions
on the descaler packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the appliance
and switch on using the On/Off but-
ton.
3. Boil until the appliance switches off
automatically.
4. Leave the solution in the appliance for
approx. 10 minutes before emptying.
5. To remove the last residues of lime
scale and acetic acid, fill the appli-
ance with fresh cold water and boil.
Do this three times. The appliance is
now ready for use.
