CLEANING THE POWER BASE AND KETTLE
1. Always remove the kettle from the power base, unplug, and leave the appliance
cool down to room temperature, before cleaning the appliance.
CAUTION:
Always keep the power socket in the middle of the power base
and the power connector in the bottom of the kettle completely dry. Avoid spilling
or dripping any liquid onto the base. Do not use any hard objects for cleaning the
kettle to avoid damage to the seals.
2. If required, clean the interior of the kettle using a soft nylon brush or soft sponge.
Then, rinse the interior of the kettle thoroughly with tap water. De-scale the kettle,
if stubborn residues of scale cover the heating plate (see: ‘De-scaling the Kettle’).
3. Wipe the exterior of the kettle, power base, and power cord with a slightly
damp cloth, removing any residues of splashes. Always ensure to keep the power
socket completely dry. Do not spill any liquids onto the operating elements.
4. Thoroughly wipe dry all parts. Thereafter, leave the parts of the appliance dry
naturally for approx. 30 minutes, where they are out of reach of young children.
CLEANING THE ACCESSORIES
WARNING:
Glass insert and glass lid are manufactured of thin-walled glass and
may crack easily, when handled carelessly. Please, use special care, when handling
any of the glass parts to avoid damage and injuries caused by splinters and shards.
Do not expose the glass parts to extreme temperature variations to avoid cracking.
You may clean the lid sets, glass insert and glass lid, tea filter, and stainless steel
bowl in an automatic dishwasher.
CAUTION:
For cleaning the glass parts in the automatic dishwasher, always
ensure that the glass parts will not touch any other dishes during operation of the
dishwasher. Otherwise the rim of the glass could get cracked or chipped. Do not
use the glass parts any more, if the glass is chipped, cracked or broken in any
way, to avoid injuries due to splinters and shards.
1. Clean the lid sets (lid ring and assigned lid), the glass parts (glass insert and glass
lid), tea filter, and stainless steel bowl in warm dishwater using a soft nylon brush
or a soft sponge. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners, abrasive cleaning pads,
or hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning to avoid damage to the surfaces.
2. Stubborn residues can be removed easily, after soaking the parts in warm dish-
water for approx. 10 minutes and, thereafter, brushing with a soft nylon brush.
3. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly and leave dry naturally for approx.
½ hour, where they are out of reach of young children.
DESCALING THE KETTLE
For descaling you may use white vinegar.
WARNING:
Do not breath-in any vapours escaping from descaling solutions to
avoid injuries to your respiratory tracts. Always ensure good ventilation during descaling.
1. Fill the kettle with ½ litre of vinegar and add approx. 1 litre water up to the
“Water MAX” filling level. Close the kettle using one of the lid sets. Simply leave
the kettle stand for at least 1 hour.
2. To assist descaling with large amounts of scale: You may warm up the solution to
the lowest possible temperature (50°C, “Custom” program), and cancel operation
by holding the “Start/Stop” button pressed for 3 seconds as soon as the solution is
heated and the signal sounds. For this ensure good ventilation, and keep the kettle
closed via a lid set. Leave the solution cool down within the kettle for at least 1 hour.
3. Empty the kettle and rinse the interior of the kettle with clear tap water.
4. Then fill the kettle to the “Water MAX” filling level (1.5 litres) with clear tap water
and bring the water to the boil (“Hot water” program). Thereafter, discard the
water and rinse the kettle again.
5. Repeat the complete procedure, if there is still any scale left.
