3. Position the kettle in such a way on the power base (6) that the underside of the kettle fits precisely
into the contact on the base.
4. Insert the plug into a wall socket.
5.
Switch the On/Off Switch (5) to its “1” position to start the heating process. The indicator lamp will
light up.
6.
As soon as the water reaches boiling point, the On/ Off switch (5) will return automatically to the “0”
position, the indicator lamp will turn off. The water kettle can also be switched off manually by
turning the On/Off switch to the “0” position.
7. This kettle is equipped with a safety cut out; protecting the appliance from damage in case of
inappropriate use. Should the appliance be accidentally operated without water or if all the water
has evaporated, the safety cut out will automatically switch off the heating element.
8. In such a case, remove the plug from the wall socket immediately and refill the kettle only after an
adequate cooling down period (about 15-20 seconds).
Decalcifying:
•
Should the appliance switch off before reaching boiling point; this is a sign that decalcifying is
necessary.
•
Any regular descaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions are observed. Do not
fill the kettle to the upper mark; to avoid spillage as the descaling agent causes the water to foam.
•
To clean the kettle thoroughly of any decalcification residues, let it go through several boiling cycles
using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with clean water afterwards.
CARE & CLEANING
1. Unplug from the power outlet and ensure it has cooled down completely before cleaning. Clean the
body of the kettle with a damp cloth (to remove stubborn spots, wipe the surface with a cloth
moistened in soapy water of a mild non-abrasive cleaner) then dry thoroughly.
2. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasives as these will damage the body of the kettle. Commercially
available kettle cleaners are recommended and are available at supermarkets.
WARNING: Never immerse the base or the kettle in water or any liquid. To clean the exterior; a
slightly damp, lint free cloth may be used.
CAUTION: It is advisable to remove lime deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.
From time to time, depending on the nature of your water supply, lime scale deposits can naturally form
and adhere to the heating element. The amount of lime scale deposits largely depends on the water
hardness in your area and the frequency in which the kettle is used. Lime scale is not harmful to your
health but if poured into your beverage it can give a powdery taste to your drink. The kettle should be de-
scaled periodically as indicated below:
1. Fill the kettle up to the max level with a mixture of one part ordinary vinegar and two parts water.
Switch the kettle on and wait for it to automatically switch off.
2. Let the water/vinegar mixture remain in the kettle overnight.
