switched on without any water, or if the
heating element is calcified. Once the safety
cut-out has switched off the kettle, it must be
allowed to cool down sufficiently, or must be
descaled before it is switched on again.
Temperature control
The temperature control is used to select the
desired water temperature. Once it is
reached, the kettle will automatically switch
off. The temperature is infinitely adjustable.
To bring water to boiling point, the
temperature control should be set at its
maximum.
N.B: The setting increases as the control is
turned clockwise, and decreases as the
control is turned anti-clockwise.
Before using for the first time
● To clean the kettle, boil and discard the
first filling of water.
Boiling water
● Never remove the water container from
the base (or replace it) while the
appliance is switched on.
-
Remove the water container from its
base.
-
Open the lid and fill the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
minimum and maximum marking.
-
Before closing the lid and placing the
container back on its base, ensure that
the appliance has not yet been switched
on.
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket,
turn the temperature control to the
desired setting and press the On/Off
switch. The indicator light goes on.
-
The heating process begins. After the
pre-set temperature level is reached, the
appliance is automatically switched off
and the indicator light goes out. To keep
the temperature at a constant level, the
appliance will periodically switch on
again as shown by the indicator light.
-
If the temperature control has been set
to the maximum (i.e. boiling) position,
the appliance is automatically switched
off by the integral steam cut-off device.
The indicator light goes out.
-
After use, or if you want to interrupt the
boiling process, set the On/Off switch to
its Off position.
-
To pour hot water, remove the container
from its base.
-
To prevent hot steam from being
emitted, ensure that the lid remains
closed while pouring out the water.
-
Remove the plug from the wall outlet
after use.
-
Do not leave any residual water in the
container.
Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your
area, lime deposits may build up in the water
container. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. A mixture of 0.5
litres of water to two tablespoons of vinegar
essence is suitable.
-
Pour the descaler in.
-
Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
-
Leave it to take effect for a short period.
-
To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
● Do not pour descalers down enamel-
coated sinks.
General cleaning and care
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the kettle and the base with water
and do not immerse them in water. Do
not clean under running water.
● For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
