BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging material from the electric kettle and its base
A3
.
Fill the kettle with clean water up to the maximum water mark. Boil the water and
empty the contents of the kettle. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times.
Now the kettle is ready for operation.
Note:
To boil water in the electric kettle proceed according to the instructions in
chapter Using the electric kettle.
USING THE ELECTRIC KETTLE
Heat Water to 100 °C
Set the required power cord length and push it into the groove in the base
A3
. Place
the base
A3
on a stable, even and clean surface.
Remove the lid
A1
and fill the kettle with the required amount of water. Put the lid
A1
back on.
Attention:
The water level must reach at least the minimum mark (0.5 l)
but must not exceed the maximum mark (1.0 l). Do not fill the
kettle when it is placed on the base
A3
.
Place the kettle on the base
A3
. Insert the power plug into a power socket. A sound
is made. Press the ON/OFF button
A4
and the display
A6
will show "100 °C". After
approximately 5 seconds the heating process will start automatically. The increasing
temperature inside the kettle will be shown on the display
A6
.
When the water comes up to temperature, a sound will be made and the kettle will
turn off automatically. The display
A6
will remain lit.
Note:
The display
A6
will turn off after approximately 2 hours of inactivity.
Attention:
Do not turn on the kettle when it is empty. The incorrect
use of the kettle may negatively affect its lifetime. If you
accidentally turn on the kettle without water, the thermostat
will, after reaching a certain temperature, interrupt the
electric circuit. The kettle can be used again after several
minutes, once the heating bottom has cooled down.
When the water comes to a boil, a sound will be made and the kettle will turn off
automatically.
Note:
The operation of the kettle can be stopped at any time by pressing the ON/
OFF button
A4
.
Pour the boiled water into a prepared container, cup or mug. Make sure that the kettle
remains in a vertical position when it is carried, particularly if it is filled all the way up
to the maximum mark.
If you wish to refill the kettle, be especially careful when removing the lid
A1
to avoid
scalding by the escaping steam.
After you finish using it, disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Empty the
kettle and allow it to cool down.
Note:
Before turning on the kettle, always make sure that the stainless steel
strainer is taken out.
Heating water to a required temperature
The kettle enables water to be heated to a set temperature in the range between
60 °C and 100 °C. Press the ON/OFF button
A4
and the display
A6
will show "100 °C".
Use the +/- buttons to set the desired temperature. After approximately 5 seconds, the
heating process will start automatically. The increasing temperature inside the kettle
will be shown on the display
A6
.
When the water comes up to temperature, a sound will be made and the kettle will
turn off automatically. The display
A6
will remain lit.
Attention:
This electric kettle is not calibrated for scientific or laboratory
purposes. The actual temperature inside the kettle may differ
by +/- 5 °C from the set water temperature.
Keep Warm function
The Keep Warm function can be set in two ways:
1. Press the KEEP WARM button
A8
and the display
A6
will show "60 °C". Use the +/-
buttons to set the desired temperature to which the water should be heated and at
which it should be maintained. After approximately 5 seconds, the heating process
will start automatically. The increasing temperature inside the kettle will be shown
on the display
A6
.
When the water comes up to temperature, the kettle will beep and automatically
switch to the maintain set temperature mode.
2. Press the ON/OFF button
A4
and the display
A6
will show "100 °C". Use the
+/- buttons to set the desired temperature.
Then press the KEEP WARM button
A8
and the display
A6
will show "60 °C". Use the
+/- buttons to set the desired temperature to which the water should be heated and
at which it should be maintained.
After approximately 5 seconds, the heating process will start automatically. The
increasing temperature inside the kettle will be shown on the display
A6
.
When the water comes up to temperature, the kettle will beep and automatically
switch to the maintain set temperature mode.
The kettle will maintain the set temperature in the Keep Warm mode until it is taken off
the base, however no longer than 2 hours. Then the kettle will turn off.
Note:
When the kettle is in the Keep Warm mode, it will turn on in regular intervals
to heat up the water to the set temperature when the water temperature in
the kettle falls. This is normal.
Attention:
If you selected the Keep Warm function for a temperature
of 100 °C, for safety reasons the kettle will maintain
a temperature of 90 °C to prevent the water from boiling off,
resulting in subsequent damage to the kettle.
Brewing tea
After boiling water, you can also brew your tea inside the kettle.
Pour the required amount of tea leaves into the tea strainer. Heat the water in the kettle
– see chapter "Heat Water to 100 °C" or "Heating water to a required temperature".
When the water reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove the lid
A1
from the
kettle and place the strainer with the tea leaves into it. Allow it to brew as as required.
Adhere to the temperature and brewing time provided on the tea packaging.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning it, make sure that the kettle is turned off, disconnected from the power
socket, and allow it to cool down.
To clean the external parts of the kettle, use a dry cloth or a cloth dipped in a weak
solution of neutral kitchen detergent. After applying the kitchen detergent, wipe the
surface with a lightly damp cloth and then wipe dry.
To clean the base
A3
use only a dry cloth.
Never use solvents, abrasive cleaning agents, etc.
Attention:
To prevent injury by electrical shock, bodily injury or another
dangerous situation, do not submerge the electric kettle,
its base or the plug of the power cord in water or any other
liquid.
Removing limescale deposits
Limescale deposits inside the kettle may negatively affect its lifetime, so it is important
to regularly remove them based on how frequently the kettle is used. During standard
use (3 to 5 times per day), we recommend limescale deposits be removed:
– once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
– once every two to three months in areas with soft and medium hard water.
To remove limescale deposits it is possible to use:
– 8% white vinegar, generally available in stores. Fill the kettle with 1 litre of water
and ¼ litre of vinegar. Bring the solution to a boil and leave it to act in the kettle for
2 hours. Then empty the kettle and before further use, boil clean water in it four to
five times.
– citric acid. Boil 1 l of water in the kettle, then add 30 g of citric acid into the boiled
water, and allow the solution to act for about 30 minutes. Then empty the kettle and
before further use, boil clean water in it four to five times.
