WARNING: Always switch OFF the kettle and unplug from power supply, when the kettle is
not in use, to avoid risk of fire and electric shock. DO NOT leave the power base unattended with
the power plug connected to the power supply.
DRY-OUT PROTECTION
If there is not enough water in the kettle during operation, the boil dry cut-out switches off the
heating element automatically. To reset the appliance:
1.
Switch OFF the kettle and wait some minutes for the heating elements to cool down. Then press
the opening button to open the lid and slowly fill with water. Always keep the water level between
the minimum and maximum water level mark (500 to 1700/MAX) during operation.
2. Close the lid, replace the kettle on the power base and switch on the kettle. For additional
safety your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut out. In the event of overheating, the
kettle will automatically shutdown to prevent further damage. In this case, take your kettle to an
authorised service centre for inspection and repair.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the appliance after shutdown by the thermal cut out.
Any maintenance, repair and operation other than described in these instructions must be perfor-
med at an authorised service centre to avoid risk of electric shock, fire or injuries to persons.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Always switch OFF (‘green’ position), unplug and let the appliance cool down
before removing the mesh filter, moving the power base or cleaning the appliance.
CAUTION! To avoid damage, do not use any chemicals, disinfectants, steel wool, abrasive
cleaners or hard or sharp utensils to clean the appliance. Handle with care. Do not place or
immerse the kettle base, power base or power cord in any liquids. Do not spill any liquids on
the kettle base, switch area, power base or power cord. Do not place the kettle or power base
in an automatic dishwasher.
Removable Stainless Steel Filter Mesh
The Design Kettle features a removable mesh filter to filter out scale deposits for clearer water.
Additionally the filter will prevent boiling water from splashing, when you pour the water. Clean
the filter regularly to avoid blockage of the mesh.
CAUTION: Handle the stainless steel filter mesh with care. Do not scratch, scrub or scrape on
the filter mesh with hard or sharp utensils to avoid damage.
1.
Switch off and unplug the appliance and allow to cool down. Press the opening button to open
the lid. Grasp the grey bar of the mesh filter and lift it up and out of the kettle.
2.
Clean the mesh filter. Rinse the filter under running water. Possibly use a plastic cleaning brush
or sponge. If the mesh is blocked with lime: leave the filter overnight in warm vinegar. Carefully
rinse with clear tap water.
3. To replace the filter, simply slide the filter in the correct orientation down into the slots behind
the spout of the kettle (see ›Features of Your Design Kettle‹). Push the filter down, until the grey
bar is in line with the brim of the kettle and the lid of the kettle can be shut tightly.
