Cleaning And Maintenance - Fagor TK-100 Instructions For Use Manual

interior.qxd 24/2/06
• Do not add more water to the kettle while it is
switched on.
• Do not leave water in the kettle for long
periods or overnight.
Warning: The kettle is equipped with a thermal
safety mechanism that protects it against
overheating in the absence of water or if the
water level is below the indicated minimum mark
('MIN'). When this happens, the kettle switches
itself off automatically. Unplug the appliance from
the mains, turn the on-off switch to '0' and leave
to cool before filling with water once again. When
the kettle has cooled, it should work normally. If
this is not the case, contact an authorised
technical assistance service.
6. THERMAL SAFETY MECHANISMS
The kettle has 2 thermal safety mechanisms to
avoid fire risks.
When using this kettle, faulty operation could
occur when the kettle has no water in it or when
the remaining water has evaporated. As a result
of these faults, the plate temperature will be very
high, increasing the fire risk. This product has a
temperature disconnection to avoid this risk.
TK-100: when the kettle has no water in it or the
remaining water evaporates, a
thermostat will operate, automatically
tripping the power supply. And it will
operate again when the kettle has cooled
down over a long period of time.
TK-180: when the kettle has no water in it or the
remaining water evaporates, a
thermostat will operate, automatically
tripping the power supply. But when this
thermostat has worked once, it will not
work again by itself as there is a clip
which stops the unit operating again.
Therefore, at this moment, the kettle
must be removed from the connection
base to unblock this thermostat. When
the kettle is replaced on the base and the
switch is pressed, the unit will heat up
again.
If it does not work, consult an authorised
technical service.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

After use, unplug the appliance from the mains and
leave to cool.

Clean the base and the outside of the kettle with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not use chemical products or abrasive
detergents that may scratch the plastic coating.
Protect the connection base, cable and plug
against humidity.
8. DECALCIFICATION
After repeated use, lime deposits may form on
the inside of the kettle and interfere with its
correct working. These deposits can be removed
using any kettle decalcifying products available
on the market.
If you prefer, you can also decalcify your kettle
with white vinegar. To do so, follow the
instructions outlined below:
• Place three cups of vinegar in the kettle and
then fill with water. Leave the water-vinegar
mixture to soak overnight (without boiling).
• The next morning, pour away the water-
vinegar mixture, fill the kettle with fresh water
and then empty once again. Repeat this
operation. The kettle is now ready for use.
• We recommend that you decalcify your kettle
once every 4 weeks if used on a daily basis.
9. INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working life,
the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste. It
must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to a
dealer providing this service. Disposing of a
household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to obtain
significant savings in energy and resources.
To remind you that you must collaborate with a
selective collection scheme, the symbol shown
appears on the product warning you not to
dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the shop where you bought the
product.
