may be damaged.
• Do not fill the empty kettle while it is still hot. The
sudden change in temperature could cause damage to
the appliance.
• Use the kettle only with the corresponding base that is
delivered with the appliance.
Setting to work / operation
1. Do not place the kettle and base on or close to a hot
surface. Open the lid by turning it anti-clockwise of
about 60° and lift if off. Fill the kettle with the desired
amount of water. Observe the water level indicator
inside the kettle and do not fill in more than 1,5 litres.
Risk of scalding if the water boils over.
2. Close the lid again (about 60° clockwise until the cover
is in line with the spout and handle) – otherwise the
automatic steam stop function will not work.
3. Place the kettle onto a dry base. If the base is wet:
- pull out the mains plug;
- dry the base and the surface underneath with a
tea towel or paper kitchen roll;
- plug in again.
4. Press the On/Off button (2), front down. The kettle will
start to heat the water and the indicator light (3.) will
come on.
5. The heating element will switch off when:
- the water boils (only if the cover is closed, see 2.)
- the kettle is switched on but there is no water
in the kettle
Never open the lid once the kettle has been switched on
– risk of scalding!
Cleaning / maintenance
Pull out the mains plug. Wipe the outside of the kettle and
the base with a damp cloth only; never immerse them in
water or place them in a dishwasher.
If the kettle has become slightly stained, pour in some
vinegar, leave it to stand for half an hour and then clean it
out with a washing-up brush. If the staining is more severe,
bring the vinegar to the boil, whereby this will of course
give rise to a sharp smell.
The Kettle can also be cleaned with detergent (do not boil
the detergent!).
After the kettle has been cleaned, rinse it out with clean
water. This appliance is maintenance-free.
Descaling
Descale the kettle regularly, at the latest when
- the time required to boil water becomes longer
- the appliance becomes noisier
- deposits can be seen
The kettle can be descaled with either vinegar (see section
6
Kurt_Gebrauchsanw.indd 6-7
on „Cleaning / maintenance") or by using a descaler. Add
descaler in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
and fill it in the kettle.
The procedure for actually descaling the kettle is as follows:
- Leave the solution to stand for 5 minutes
- Switch the kettle on and then off again after
1 minute. Leave the solution to stand for a
further 10 minutes. Repeat this procedure
at least 3 times, more frequently if required,
depending on the build up of scale. Under no
circumstances allow the solution to boil. This
could damage the appliance.
- Rinse the kettle and lid with clean water.
