Using your kettle
Before using your new kettle you
should wipe it inside and outside with
a damp cloth due to hygienic reasons.
Initial use
0 Place the base unit (K) on a firm sur-
face.
0 Plug the mains plug into a wall socket.
If the mains cord is longer than neces-
3
sary it can be wound up at the bottom
of the base unit (K).
0 Press button (D) down to open
the lid (C).
0 Fill with at least sufficient water to
make it visible on the water level indi-
cator (F), but not higher than the max.
mark.
0 Close the lid (C) until it engages. The
automatic switch off can only function
reliably if this is done.
0 Place the kettle onto the base (K).
0 Set the desired temperature with the
temperature controller (J). For boiling
water, rotate the controller to the right
to the
position.
0 Press the ON/OFF switch (H) down, the
pilot lights (G) lights up and the kettle
starts to heat up.
The ON/OFF switch (H) only catches
3
when the kettle is on the base unit (K).
Do not use the water from the first
3
boiling cycle to prepare food.
The automatic switch off
The kettle will switch off automatically
and the pilot light will go out when the
adjusted temperature is reached resp.
the water has boiled or the kettle is
removed from the base.
If you want to stop the heating process
before the kettle automatically
switches off, simply press the ON/OFF
switch (H) up or lift up the jug from
the base. If you want to reheat water
which has already been heated, press
the ON/OFF switch (H) down again.
When the adjusted temperature is
reached resp. the water has boiled the
kettle will switch off automatically. If
the kettle is only filled with a little
water, it takes longer to switch off.
Safety system
This appliance is equipped with a boil-
dry safety cut-out. This feature pro-
tects the appliance from overheating
when started without water or from
boiling until it is empty if used with
the lid open. If the appliance is acci-
dently switched on without water, it is
automatically protected against over-
heating. The heating process is auto-
matically interrupted. Before using the
kettle again let it cool down for
5-10 minutes.
Cleaning and care
1
Always disconnect the kettle from the
mains supply before cleaning.
1
Never clean the kettle and base unit
under running water or immerse it in
washing-up water.
0 Occasionally rinse out the kettle with
clean water.
0 Clean the outside of the appliance only
using a damp cloth. Do not use any
caustic or abrasive cleansing agents.
0 Hold strainer insert (B) at grip (1) and
lift insert out for cleaning.
0 The heating base is made of stainless
steel. If, however, spots of rust appear,
these are only deposits adhering to the
surface. They can be removed with a
stainless steel cleaning agent.
