ensure that the lid remains closed while
pouring out the water.

Power cord wind-up storage
The wind-up power cord storage under the
base facilitates limiting the length of the
power cord during use and makes it easy to
store the appliance.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality in your area,
lime deposits may build up on the heating
element. It is advisable to remove any such
deposits at regular intervals. Any warranty
claim will be null and void if the kettle
malfunctions because of insuffi cient
descaling. A mixture of 0.5 litres of water
and 40 ml of vinegar essence is suitable.
∙ Pour the descaler in.
∙ Switch the appliance on and let the
solution reach boiling point.
∙ Leave it to take effect for a short period.
∙ To clean the container after descaling,
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
∙ During descaling, ensure suffi cient
ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar
vapours.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel-
12
coated sinks.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the kettle and the base with water
and do not immerse them in water. Do not
clean under running water.
∙ For cleaning, a slightly damp, lint-free
cloth may be used.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions, and do not use hard brushes
for cleaning.
Sieve
∙ If necessary, the sieve can be removed
from the spout for cleaning.
∙ Disconnect the kettle from the mains and
allow it to cool down.
∙ Clean the sieve under running water,
using a suitable soft brush.
∙ Re-insert the sieve afterwards.
