switching off the kettle
The kettle switches off automatically when the water boils. The pilot lamp switches off. If you want to boil the water once more,
wait approx. 30 seconds before switching it on again to allow the switch to cool down. It is also possible to switch off the kettle
at any time by means of the on/off switch. When the kettle is taken off the connection base while boiling, it will also switch off.
When placing back the kettle on the connection base, wait approx. 30 seconds before switching it on again to allow the switch
to cool down.
Caution! It is possible that a little condensed water remains on the edge of the connection base. This is normal and does not
affect the function of the kettle.

de-scaling
Scale may occur on the inside of the kettle. If you have hard water, it may be necessary to de-scale the kettle occasionally. Use
a suitable de-scaling agent for kettles/coffee machines and observe the accompanying instructions.
You can also de-scale the kettle with lemon juice. The lemon acid in this juice will make sure that the scale is removed. This natural
method prevents the use of chemicals. Fill half the kettle with hot water. Add the juice of half a lemon. Boil the water and then
allow the water to cool down for 30 minutes. Throw away the boiled water and rinse the kettle once more. Never clean the
appliance with cleaning agents. These could damage your kettle.
In order to remove the anti-scale filter from the kettle for cleaning, you must take the kettle from the connection base and allow
it to cool down. Do not remove the anti-scale filter from the kettle if it is still hot or filled with water. Pull the anti-scale filter loose
towards the rear, away from the spout, and clean it with hot water. When placing back the filter, make sure it is properly attached
to the spout. First place the point of the anti-scale filter and then you can press tight the anti-scale filter at the top by means of the
clamp. Never place the anti-scale filter loose in the kettle.

cleaning & maintenance
Regularly clean the kettle for optimum performance. Never submerge the kettle and connection base in water and/or other
liquids. Before cleaning, always remove the plug from the socket and allow the kettle to cool down. Regularly wipe the outside
with a moist cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaning agents!
