WARNING! If there is too much water in the kettle (i.e. water exceeds the
MAX marking) boiling water may splash out.
The maximum level of the kettle
is 1.5 liters and should not be exceeded.
Never switch on the kettle without
water.
The kettle automatically switches off when the water is boiling. Every time the
kettle is removed from the base, the kettle switches off. 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 and 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.
Lime filter
The kettle has a lime filter in the spout. Remove the filter for cleaning by opening
the lid of the kettle and carefully lifting the filter. Brush the filter with a washing-
up brush under running water or put the filter in a descaler for a couple of
minutes, when the kettle is being descaled. Put the filter back in the grooves
inside the spout and make sure that it is positioned correctly.
It is very important that the filter is cleaned and does not scale again, as if not,
water cannot pass through the filter, but will run off along the sides, which
involves a risk of burning.
