Problem
Reason
The Solution
The water is boiling, but
the heating cycle runs on
After first bubbles appear,
some time is required for
reaching the maximum
temperature.
This is normal. The time duration until the heating cycle
is terminated depends on the amount of water in the
kettle. Please, observe the actual temperature on the
display.
The lid is missing or not
closed correctly.
For operation, the lid must be closed correctly. Otherwise,
the automatic shut-off cannot work properly (see: ‘Ope-
ration’).
You operate the kettle
on the mountains. In this
case, the automatic shut-
off may be inoperable,
because the highest tem-
peratures cannot be rea-
ched at all.
– Cancel the heating cycle manually.
– Select a lower temperature via the adjustment buttons
(see: ‘Operation’).
The keep warm function
does not work.
You did not activate the
keep warm function.
For using the keep warm function, you need to press the
“Keep Warm” button. Check the keep warm icon on the
display.
You have removed the
kettle from the base for
more than 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes with the kettle removed, the base can-
cels the keep warm function automatically. Replace the
kettle and start the function again.
The keep warm function
has been active for more
than 2 hours.
The maximum time for this function is 2 hours. If
required, start the function again.
“E3” is shown on the
display.
The boil-dry protection has
been triggered. The kettle
is empty.
Remove the kettle from the base and open the lid. Lea-
ve the kettle cool down for approx. 15 minutes. There-
after you may use it again.
Always ensure that the filling level reaches
the “MIN / 0.2L” marking (approx. 200ml).
Display and buttons stay
illuminated after unplug-
ging the appliance.
The remaining voltage in
the appliance is sufficient
for a while, due to very
low energy consumption
of the display.
This is normal operation and no need for being concerned.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
– Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts are
out of
reach of children younger than 8 years and animals.
Always unplug the appliance
and leave the kettle cool down, before cleaning the appliance. Do not immerse or
place the power base, power cord or kettle in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or
drip any liquids on the exterior of the appliance to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.
DO NOT place any part of the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
Always keep
the electrical connectors absolutely dry. Do not poke in the electric connectors. For clea-
ning the appliance or any parts of it, DO NOT use any hard or sharp-edged objects,
scouring pads or abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents (e.g. bleach, solving agents).
IMPORTANT -
Descale the kettle, when scale deposits cover the heating plate
(refer to the following section).
1. Leave the kettle cool down completely. Then rinse the interior of the kettle with clear
water. Regularly, clean the interior of the kettle via a soft nylon brush or soft cloth.
2. You may wash the lid in warm dishwater and thoroughly rinse with clear water.
3. Clean the power base, power cord, and exterior of the kettle using a slightly
damp cloth that does not drip. Thereafter, wipe dry all parts and leave them
dry naturally for approx. 30 minutes.
DESCALING THE KETTLE
CAUTION
– Only use food-safe descalers that are suited for water kettles
and similar appliances. Other types of descaler may damage your health and the
surfaces and seals of the kettle.
WARNING
– Do not breath in the vapours of any type of descaler to avoid
damage to your respiratory tracts. Ensure sufficient ventilation during descaling.
We recommend the Gastroback Premium Descaler (Art.-No.: 98175), containing spe-
cial additives for preserving the metal surfaces thus maintaining high performance of
our appliances. Mix the descaling solution according to the instructions on the packa-
ge. Alternatively, you may use a solution of 250ml plain vinegar and 750ml water.
1. Fill 1 Liter descaling solution into the kettle. Close the lid. Leave the descaler
within the kettle for at least 1 hour. With large amounts of scale on the heating
plate, leave the kettle standing overnight.
2. Empty the kettle and thoroughly rinse the interior with clear tap water.
3. Repeat the complete procedure, if there are still scale deposits on the heating plate.
