Overheating Protection
The kettle has a double protection in case of overhea-
ting. If you turn on the appliance accidently without
water or with insufficient water, this security feature
will turn off the appliance automatically. Once the
kettle is refilled with cold water the appliance will be
prepared to be used again.
Cleaning
• ATTENTION: do not clean the appliance under run-
ning water and do not immerse the appliance in water!
• Do not clean the appliance with abrasive cleaning
agents since these could damage the kettle.
• Remove stronger stains (water stains, fingerprints
etc.) with lukewarm water and a cloth or stain-
less-steel cleaners.
• Make sure these stainless-steel cleaners are not ag-
gressive or contain chlorine or acid.
• We recommend "Chromol" from the company Henke
Ecolab Deutschland GmbH.
• ATTENTION: Use it just in the exterior parts! Do not
use it in parts that are in contact with food or liquids
(inner part).
• Clean often the lime filter of the kettle. Presse the up-
per end of the filter downwards to remove it.
Decalcification
• It is advisable to decalcify to the appliance when
using calcareous water (depending on the degree of
hardness of the water, between 1-3 weeks). A regular
decalcification will assure constant quality, low elec-
trical consumption and a longer life of the appliance.
Use for this a normal liquid descaler and read the se-
curity safety.
• Tipp: if the water does not contain too many lime,
you can mix 5-6 tablespoons vinegar with 0,5l of wa-
ter as descaler.
• ATTENTION: do not cook this mix. Rinse the applian-
ce a couple of times after the decalcification.
Information
The lime quantity in every region is different. You
can ask your water company to know the hardness
of water in your region.
• Our warranty does not cover incorrect operation
due to the decalcification!
