heating up water with preset buttons
Different hot drinks require different temperatures to taste their best. With
the preset buttons on the base, you can choose the right temperature for
your favourite hot drink.
To make sure the appliance accurately* heats up the water to the set
temperature, fill the kettle with at least 0.25l water.
* This kettle has been designed to achieve maximum temperature accuracy.
However, the actual temperature of the water may deviate slightly from the
indicated temperature.
- There are 4 buttons that represent different hot drinks: black/fruit/
herbal tea (100ºC), instant soup/hot chocolate (95ºC), instant coffee
(90ºC) and green tea (80ºC). There is also a 40ºC button and a KEEP
WARM button. (Fig. 7)
Press one of the preset buttons (Fig. 8).

The water starts heating to the temperature of the selected preset
,
button.
While the water is heated, the light ring around the selected
,
button slowly pulsates until the water has reached the desired
temperature (Fig. 9).
If the current temperature of the water in the kettle is higher than
,
the temperature of the selected preset button, the light ring does
not pulsate, but flashes 3 times to indicate that this button cannot be
operated (Fig. 10).
Note: You can deactivate the appliance by pressing the button again or by
removing the kettle from the base.
The kettle heats the water to the temperature of the selected preset

button.
When the water has reached the set temperature, you hear an
,
audible signal. The light ring around the selected button stops
pulsating and lights up continuously (Fig. 11).
Note: The audible signal is repeated as a reminder after 2 minutes.
Note: You can select a different type of hot drink by pressing a different preset
button while the kettle is operating. This is only possible if the temperature of
the water is still below the temperature of the newly pressed button.
Keeping water warm
You can use the keep-warm function to keep water warm for 30 minutes at
the temperatures of the different preset buttons (40°C, 80°C, 90°C, 95°C
or 100°C).
Note: Only use the keep-warm function in combination with a preset button.
Only use the keep-warm function when there is at least 0.25l water in
the kettle. If there is too little water in the kettle, the kettle may switch
off before the 30 minutes have elapsed to protect the heating element.
Keeping water warm at a desired temperature
Press a preset button to set the desired temperature (see section
1
'Heating up water with preset buttons' in this chapter).
Press the KEEP WARM button (Fig. 11).

When the kettle heats up the water to keep it at the selected
,
temperature, the light ring around the KEEP WARM button lights up
continuously.
When the water has reached the selected temperature, the light ring
,
around the KEEP WARM button slowly pulsates until the keep-warm
function is cancelled or switches off automatically after 30 minutes.
Note: If you press the KEEP WARM button before you press a preset button,
nothing happens. If you have just prepared hot water, you can press the same
preset button again and then press the KEEP WARM button.
The kettle keeps the water warm for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, you hear an audible signal and the appliance
,
switches off automatically.
Note: You can stop the keep-warm process at any time. To do so, press the KEEP
WARM button again, press the selected preset button or remove the kettle
from the base.
Note: If you remove the kettle from the base, the set keep-warm temperature
is lost.
Note: If you press another preset button while the keep-warm function is
activated, the keep-warm function switches off and the kettle starts heating up
the water to the temperature of the preset button.
Note: If the keep-warm function has not been activated, the appliance switches
off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Cleaning and descaling
Always unplug the base before you clean it
Always remove the kettle from the base before you clean the kettle.
Never immerse the kettle or its base in water.
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids
such as petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
Cleaning the kettle and the base
Clean the outside of the kettle and the base with a soft cloth
1
moistened with warm water and some mild cleaning agent.
Caution: Do not let the moist cloth come into contact with the cord, the
plug and the connector of the base.
Cleaning the filter
Scale is not harmful to your health but it may give your drink a powdery
taste. The anti-scale filter prevents scale particles from ending up in your
drink.
Clean the single-action filter regularly in the following way:
Take the filter out of the kettle (Fig. 12).
1
Gently clean the filter with a soft nylon brush.
2
Slide the filter back into the kettle.
3
Note: HD9385 only: The filter at the bottom of the kettle cannot be removed.
You can clean this filter by descaling the kettle, see section 'Descaling the kettle'
below.
Descaling the kettle
Regular descaling prolongs the lifetime of the kettle.
In case of normal use (up to 5 times a day), the following descaling
frequency is recommended:
- Once every 6 months for areas with low water hardness.
- Once every 3 months for areas with average water hardness.
- Once every month for areas with high water hardness.
Fill the kettle with white vinegar (8% acetic acid) up to one quarter of
1
the MAX indication.
Add water to the MAX indication.

Press the green tea button to heat up the water to 80ºC and then
3
press the KEEP WARM button.
