Automatic Shutoff; Safety System; Cleaning And Maintenance - WMF Küchenminis 0413190011 Gebrauchsanweisung

▪ Always completely empty the kettle. Do not let any residual water remain in the device for a long
period of time.
▪ The mains plug is to be pulled:
⋅ if malfunctions occur during use,
⋅ before cleaning and care,
⋅ after use.
▪ No liability is accepted for any damages resulting from misuse, incorrect operation or improper
repairs.
Claims under warranty are likewise excluded in such cases.
▪ Packaging material, such as plastic film bags, do not belong in the hands of children.
Start-up
The kettle is made from stainless steel and WMF glass. It is heat resistant, stable, neutral tasting and
easy to clean.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the pot prior to the first use. To do so, open the lid by pressing the
button on the handle.
A strainer insert in the pour spout ensures that larger limescale particles are kept back when pouring.
The unnecessary length of the connecting cable can be wound at the bottom of the base part.
Connect the mains plug to an earthed socket.
Fill with the desired amount of water up to the Max line. Close the lid. Only in this way does the
automatic boil stop work reliably.
Place the pot on the base in any position. Now you can press down the power switch below the
handle. The control lamp in the power switch shows that the device is heating.
The power switch only engages if the pot is on the base.
Do not use the water from the first boiling process for food preparation.

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.
We recommend cleaning the glass container after each use to prevent tea deposits from forming.
You can descale the kettle for more stubborn stains or limescale build-up. (see the chapter entitled
"Descaling").
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
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water,
which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage
to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents
that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our
warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the
descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not
inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
Causes for malfunctions
▪ If the pouring behaviour worsens/diminishes:
check the strainer and descale/clean the strainer if necessary
▪ Device switches off before boiling:
Bottom of the pot is too strongly calcified, it is not filled with enough water
▪ Device does not switch off:
Lid is not closed
▪ Device will not switch on:
The device has not sufficiently cooled down following operation with no or too little water.
If it is not possible to fix this problem, submit the device for repair.
