SEVERIN WK 4322 Instrucciones De Uso página 13

∙ Do not operate the appliance below
a hanging cupboard or similar object;
there is a risk that escaping steam may
be trapped underneath.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to come into contact with open
flames or any hot surfaces such as hot-
plates.
∙ Do not let the power cord hang free, and
keep the cord well away from hot parts
of the housing.
∙ Take special care when you carry the
container with hot water in.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket,
- in case of any malfunction,
- after use,
- during cleaning.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
Intended use
∙ This appliance is solely designed
for heating clean, fresh water. Any
other form of use must be considered
improper and may lead to personal
injuries or material damage.
∙ It is not suitable for heating milk, tea or
other food or beverages.
Thermal safety cut-out
The pre-set thermal safety cut-out protects
the heating element from overheating
should the appliance be erroneously
switched on without any water, or if the
heating plate 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.
Before using for the first time
To clean the kettle, boil a full kettle of water
twice and discard the water.
Boiling water
∙ Remove the water container from its
base.
∙ Press the lid-opener on the handle to
open the lid, and fill the container with
water to the desired level, observing the
Min (0.5 l) and Max (1.7 l) markings.
∙ Close the lid, and then put the container
back on its base.
∙ Insert the plug into a suitable wall
socket and press the On/Off switch; the
indicator light 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
indicator 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.
∙ If the kettle is operated several times in
a row without time to cool down, it may
cause a few drops of water to appear,
due to condensation forming below the
water container. This is safe and does
not constitute a defect.
