How to use the kettle
Pour water into the kettle – see the marking on the external water level gauge
below the handle – 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
1.2 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 water level gauge
until the lamp under the water level gauge is on.
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).
BE CAREFUL:
The surface gets very hot during use!!!
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.
