is calcifi ed. Once the safety cut-out has
switched off the kettle, it must be allowed to
cool down suffi ciently, or must be descaled
before it is switched on again.
Before using for the fi rst time
To clean the kettle, boil and discard the fi rst
fi lling of water.
Boiling water
∙ Remove the water container from its
base.
∙ Open the lid and fi ll the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min. and Max. markings.
∙ Close the lid and place the container back
on its base.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and press the On/Off switch; the pilot light
on the water level indicator comes on.
∙ The boiling process begins. After reaching
the boiling point, the appliance is
automatically switched off by the integral
steam cut-off device. The pilot light goes
out.
∙ 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
10
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your area,
lime deposits may build up on the heating
element. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. Any warranty
claim will be null and void if the kettle
malfunctions because of insuffi cient
descaling. 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.
Sieve
If necessary, the sieve can be removed from
the spout for cleaning. Re-insert the sieve
afterwards.
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.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions, and do not use hard brushes
for cleaning.
