water a thermostat protects the kettle
from overheating by interrupting the
heating process. The button will be
put automatically to position - 0 -.
Before refilling with water, wait
another 5-10 minutes until the
appliance has cooled down. If through
improper usage this thermostat
should fail an additional temperature
security device will be activated.
Descaling
A lime scale at the bottom of the
kettle will cause loss of energy and
can reduce the life time of the
appliance.
If the lime scale is too thick the
appliance switches off before the
water is boiling. In this case it is very
difficult to remove the lime scale.
The pot should regularly be descaled
with usual descaling agents suitable
for stainless steel. Please consider
the user instructions of the
manufacturer.
Never allow the substance to boil,
otherwise it will foam over the top of
the kettle.
After descaling rinse the kettle carefully
with water. Damages caused by the
non-observance of these instructions
are not covered by the guarantee.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning unplug the
appliance. Never immerse the kettle
or base in water. Clean the inside of
the kettle occasionally.
Clean the outside with a damp cloth
only. Do not use caustic or scouring
agents. The pan is made from rust-
resistant stainless steel. Any iron
moulds are only residues which stick
on the surface. They should be
removed with a special cleansing
agent for stainless steel.
Causes for failures
– The appliance switches off before
the water is boiling:
the lime scale at the bottom of the
kettle is too thick.
– The appliance does not switch off:
close the lid until it snaps.
– The appliance cannot be switched
on after having used the kettle
without or with too little water:
the appliance has not yet cooled
down sufficiently.
If the failures cannot be removed, let
the appliance have repaired.
In order to avoid injury, any repairs
of the appliance as well as the
exchange of a damaged connection
cord should only be carried out by
the manufacturer, his authorised ser-
vice agent or a person having similar
qualifications.
