Cleaning And Care - WMF KUCHENminis Vario 1,0 l Gebrauchsanweisung

As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, the appliance beeps (several times at certain
intervals) and the keep warm function is activated automatically. The temperature button to be held
down (9), the Keep Warm button (10) and the Start/Stop button
cally switched off as soon as the kettle is taken off the base (8) or 20 minutes have passed.
Note: The keep warm function cannot be activated when the water temperature is 100°C.
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 kettle to cool down before filling with water.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional temperature limiter
provides reliable protection.

Cleaning and care

Remove the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water, but rather clean it using a damp cloth with a little washing-up
liquid and then dry it.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The inside of the kettle should be cleaned with warm water and a washing-up brush. To do so, open
the lid by pressing the button on the handle (5) and remove the tea strainer (4).
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").
CAUTION: Never clean the kettle under running water.
The scale filter (1) in the pour spout can be removed for cleaning when the lid (2) is open. To do this,
press its clip downwards and remove the filter. To insert the scale filter (1), take it on the clip and position
the underside of the filter in the inside, centred, of the pour spout. Finally, push it upwards (Fig. B).
The scale filter (1) and tea strainer (4) can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
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.
