Important: The water will not be heated
a
if
On/Off is not lit up. The temperature
display shows the temperature of the water
in the kettle for approx. 1 minute and then
goes out.
Attention: If you lift the kettle from the base
and replace it before the water has boiled,
the kettle will not continue heating.
Notes:
■ Water should only be boiled with the lid
closed and the limescale filter inserted.
■ For reasons of physics condensation
may form on the base. This is normal,
and the kettle is not leaking.
■ If the temperature is set to 100°C,
boiling will only stop once the water has
reached boiling point, i.e. it will bubble
for a short period of time beforehand.
■ After boiling, let the kettle cool down for
5 minutes before refilling.
■ Do not turn on the appliance if the kettle
is empty. Otherwise the overheating
protection will trip and the appliance will
switch off automatically.
Keep warm
During boiling and 1 minute afterwards the
keep warm function can be activated in
addition to the selection of any temperature
level.
To do so, touch the U (keep warm) button.
U will light up, and the function is activated.
To switch off, touch the U (keep warm)
button again. U will go out.
Attention: If you lift the kettle and replace
it within one minute, the kettle will continue
heating.
Info: The keep warm function automatically
switches off after 30 minutes, and a signal
sounds.

Cleaning and maintenance
W Danger of electric shock!
Never immerse the appliance in water or
place it in the dishwasher!
Do not steam-clean the appliance.
■ Pull out the mains plug.
■ The kettle and base should only be
wiped down on the outside with a damp
cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive
detergents.
■ Remove the limescale filter and place in
a little vinegar.
■ Rinse the kettle and limescale filter with
clean water.
Tip: Clean the stainless steel surface with a
standard care product for stainless steel.
Descaling
Regular descaling
■ prolongs the life of the appliance;
■ ensures that it functions properly;
■ avoids risk of injury, e.g. uncontrolled
pouring if filter is covered with limescale;
■ saves energy.
Descale the kettle with vinegar or a
commercially available descaling agent.
■ Fill the kettle up to the max mark with
water without vinegar or descaling agent
and bring to the boil.
■ Then add a small amount of white
vinegar to the hot water and let the
kettle stand for several hours. You can
also use a descaling agent according to
the manufacturer's instructions (observe
safety instructions).
■ Then rinse the kettle and limescale filter
with clean water.
Attention: Never use hard objects to
remove limescale residue as this will
damage the seal.
Tip: If you use the kettle daily, descale
more frequently.
