OBH Nordica Kettle
Before use
Read the instruction manual carefully and save if for later use.
How to use the kettle
Pour water into the kettle – see the marking on the external water level gauge underneath
the handle – and close the lid. Do not add water when the kettle is positioned on the base.
The water used for the first couple of boiling must not be used as the kettle may have small
impurities from the production.
NOTE!
The kettle is equipped with a hinged, lockable safety lid that reduces the risk of scald
considerably as the lid will not fall off if the kettle should overturn. The lid opens by pressing
the locking device (situated on the lid). Always remember to press the lid into place after
filling.
WARNING: If the kettle is filled with too much water (that is above the MAX marking),
boiling water might sp0urt out of the appliance. The maximum capacity of the kettle
is 1.2 litres and this amount must never be exceeded. Never switch on the kettle
without water.
The kettle consists of two parts: The kettle itself and a separate, conductive base on which
the kettle can be placed in any position. The kettle shall be used only with the delivered
base. Adapt the length of the cord and wind up any exceeding cord under the base. The cord
should be as short as possible and must not hand from the edge of the table in order to be
out of children’s reach. Turn on the kettle by depressing the on/off switch below the water
level gauge until the lamp under the water level gauge is on.
When the water is boiling, the kettle will automatically turn off after a few seconds, the
switch will go back – you will hear a click – and the lamp will go off. Every time the kettle is
removed from the base, the switch will automatically disengage and the lamp will go out.
This prevents unintended heating, when the kettle is put back on the base. So, if the kettle
has been removed from the base for a short period of time e.g. in order to fill in extra water
– REMEMBER always to switch on the appliance again. Always unplug the kettle when not
in use.
IMPORTANT:
Always keep the lid closed when the kettle is used. Otherwise the automatic
steam switch will not work and there will be a risk that boiling water will spurt out of the kettle.
The automatic switch off function is extremely sensitive in order to react at the right moment.
In case the switch off function becomes irregular (the kettle turns off too early or too late),
scaling could be the reason for the error (see instructions for descaling).
BE CAREFUL!
The surface gets very hot during use!!!
Scale build-up/dry boiling fuse
The kettle is equipped with a double dry boiling protection system: If the kettle has severe
scale build-up at the bottom, if it is switched on without water, or boiled dry, the dry boiling
protection system is activated and the heating element automatically disconnects. If so,
check the kettle for scale build-up and descale if required. Then test the kettle – fill with water
and connect the unit.
