OBH Nordica Kettle 1,7 litres
Before use
Before the appliance is used for the first time, read through the instruction manual carefully
and save it for later use.
How to use the kettle
Pour water into the kettle, see the marking on the external water level gauge and close
the lid. Do not add water when the kettle is positioned on the base. The water used for the
first couple of boiling must not be used as the kettle may have small impurities from the
production.
NOtE: The kettle is equipped with a hinged, lockable safety lid that reduces the risk of scald
considerably as the lid will not fall off if the kettle should overturn. The lid opens by pressing
the locking device (situated at the top of the handle). Always remember to press the lid into
place after filling.
WARNiNg! if the kettle is filled with too much water (that is above the MAX marking),
boiling water might spurt out of the appliance. the maximum capacity of the kettle is
1.7 litres and this amount must never be exceeded. Never switch on the kettle without
water.
The kettle consists of two parts: The kettle itself and a separate, conductive base on which
the kettle can be placed in any position. The kettle shall be used
only with the delivered
base. Adapt the length of the cord and wind up any exceeding cord under the base. The cord
should be as short as possible and must not hang from the edge of the table in order to be
out of children’s reach. Turn on the kettle by depressing the on/off switch below the handle,
the pilot lamp lights.
Note that the surface of the kettle gets very hot during use.
When the water is boiling, the kettle will automatically turn off after a few seconds, the
switch will go back – you will hear a click - and the lamp will go off. Every time the kettle is
removed from the base, the switch will automatically disengage and the lamp will go out.
This prevents unintended heating, when the kettle is put back on the base. So, if the kettle
has been removed from the base for a short period of time e.g. in order to fill in extra water
– REMEMBER always to switch on the appliance again. Always unplug the kettle when not
in use.
iMpORtANt: Always keep the lid closed when the kettle is used. Otherwise the automatic
steam switch will not work and there will be a risk that boiling water will spurt out of the kettle.
The automatic switch off function is extremely sensitive in order to react at the right moment.
In case the switch off function becomes irregular (the kettle turns off too early or too late),
scaling could be the reason for the error (see instructions for descaling).
Scaling and dry-boiling fuse
The kettle comprises an incorporated, double dry-boiling fuse:
If the heating unit is dressed with lime at the bottom, is connected without water or boils dry,
the dry-boiling fuse will be activated and the heating unit cut off automatically. If this happens,
check the kettle as to scale deposits in the bottom and descale if necessary. Test the kettle
by filing in water and connect the appliance.
