Use
The kettle consists of two parts: the kettle itself and a separate, live base, on
which the kettle can be placed from any angle. Only use the kettle with the
corresponding base. If necessary, wind up a part of the cord under the base
and make sure that the cord is as short as possible in order that children
cannot grab hold of it. Plug the switch to a wall outlet.
Press the button on top of the handle to open the lid of the kettle. The cover
is opened in two stages to avoid water splashing during opening. Pour water
in the kettle, see the markings on the outer level indicator and close the lid.
Do not exceed the max marking (1 liter) and do not pour water less than
the minimum marking and do not pour water when the kettle is on the base.
Position the kettle with water on the base and switch on the appliance on
the switch under the handle and the signal lamp will go on. The water from
the first two boilings should not be used, as there may be impurities from
the production of the kettle.
Note that the housing of the kettle gets very hot
during use. The kettle automatically switches off when the water is boiling and
the signal lamp will go off.
WARNING! I
f there is too much water in the kettle (i.e. water exceeds the
MAX marking) boiling water may burst out.
The max level of the kettle is 1 liter
and should not be exceeded.
Never switch on the kettle without water.
Every time the kettle is removed from the base, the kettle switches off and
the signal lamp goes out. In this way, unintended heating is avoided when the
kettle is put back on the base. If the kettle is shortly removed from the base in
order e.g. to add water, remember to switch it on again. Always unplug from the
mains supply when the appliance is not in use.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the lid is always properly closed, when the kettle
is in use. If not, the automatic switch-off function will not work and there is
furthermore a risk that boiling water will splash out. The automatic switch-off
function of the kettle is very sensitive. If the switching off becomes irregular
(the kettle switches off too soon or too late), the kettle needs to be descaled
as this might be the reason, see the section about descaling below.
Scale build-up/dry boiling protection
The kettle comprises a double protection system:
If the kettle has severe scale build-up at the bottom, if it is switched on without
water or boils dry, the dry boiling protection system is activated and the kettle
switches off automatically. In such case, check for lime in the bottom of the
kettle and descale if necessary. Try to switch the kettle on again with water in
it.
If the kettle continues to switch off before the water reaches the point of
boiling, contact the shop of purchase.
