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 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.
If the fuse still cuts off the heating unit before the water is boiling, return the
kettle to where it was bought.
