Automatic Shutoff - WMF KUCHENMINIS Gebrauchsanweisung

Automatic shutoff

The automatic boil stop switches off the device shortly after the water is boiled.
The shutoff time is extended if the pot is only filled with a little water.
If only warm water is desired, the heating process can always be stopped by
pressing the power switch. The shutdown takes place automatically if the pot is
lifted from the base.
For functional reasons, some condensation may run out of the outlet openings
at the bottom of the handle to the edge of the base. This happens for technical
reasons and does not impair the safety of the device.
Safety system
A thermostat protects the kettle from overheating due to accidental operation
without water by switching off the device.
It is essential to allow the pot to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional
temperature limiter ensures reliable protection.
Cleaning and maintenance
Remove the mains plug and allow the device to cool down. Do not immerse the
device in water, but rather clean them with a damp cloth with a little washing-up
fluid and then dry off.
Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.
The pot is made of stainless steel. Should rust spots nevertheless appear, they are
only deposits adhered to the surface. They should be removed immediately with a
stainless steel cleanser.
The strainer insert in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid is
open. To do so, press its upper clip upward. When inserting, place the strainer in
the middle of the base and then snap it forward into place.
Descaling
Limescale deposits lead to losses of energy and impair the service life of the
device. It shuts off prematurely if the limescale layer is too thick. It can then only
be removed with great difficulty. Therefore descale regularly.
We recommend using Cromargol®. This is highly effective and non-abrasive.
▪ Prior to descaling, unplug the device and allow it to cool. Remove the strainer
and place on the base of the kettle.
▪ Replace the strainer after descaling has finished.
▪ Fill with one portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® and leave the device until
the limescale layer on the bottom is removed. Then fill the device with cold
tap water to cover the limescale ring on the wall and allow to stand for 15
minutes.
▪ Then pour out and thoroughly rinse with cold tap water.
▪ Dose and use other descaling agents according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not heat the solution during descaling.
Attention: there is no claim under warranty for damages caused by not observing
the descaling instructions.
