Care And Cleaning - Tristar WK-1311 Mode D'emploi

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
•
The filter has been installed on the kettle before shipping. If it has been removed, install the
filter before using the kettle. Hold the filter securely and place the slot in the filter over the tab
in the cover. Push gently and the filter will snap into position.
- Do not use the kettle without the filter in position as water may spill out when boiling.
- Do not remove the filter when the kettle is hot.
•
Fill kettle between the minimum and maximum levels shown on the water level window.
•
Note:
Do not attempt to fill while the kettle is on the power base.
Do not use for other than boiling water. Other liquids will contaminate the interior of the
kettle.
Do not fill past the MAX level indicated on the water level window. Overfilling may cause
water to spill out when boiling.
•
Place kettle on the base making sure it is correctly engaged on its base.
•
Depress the On/Off Switch to the 'On' position. The indicator light will illuminate to indicate
that the kettle is in the boil cycle. Once the water has boiled, the On/Off Switch will
automatically switch to the 'Off' position and the indicator light will go out.
•
If you want to use the kettle again, allow the thermal safety switch to cool down for 15 – 20
seconds then depress the On/Off Switch to the On position. If the On/Off Switch does not
remain in the 'On' position, the water is hot enough to use without reheating.
•
Unplug cord from wall outlet before lifting kettle from power base. Grip the kettle by the
Handle only, as the surface and lid will be hot.
•
Return the kettle to the power base or place on a heat resistant surface after use.
•
If the kettle is accidently switched on when empty, the thermostat will automatically shut it off
to prevent the kettle from overheating. If this situation occurs, unplug the power base and let
the kettle cool before refilling.
•
It is recommended that the power cord be disconnected from the wall outlet when not in use.
Do not attempt to connect any other appliance to the power base or tamper with the
connector in any way.

CARE AND CLEANING

•
Unplug power cord from wall outlet. Empty out remaining water and allow kettle to cool
before cleaning.
•
If necessary, remove and clean the Aquascreen filter (R) by rinsing under running water. The
filter can be removed by grasping firmly between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull off
starting at either the right or left edge.
•
Under normal use, a deposit of scale may form on the inside of the kettle and cause some
discolouration. Scale, which has accumulated inside the kettle, can be removed by boiling
equal parts of white vinegar and water (500 ml / 2 cups of each is recommended). Once the
water has boiled, allow mixture to stand several hours or overnight. Empty out mixture and
fill kettle to the MAX level with fresh water. Bring water to a boil and discard. For heavy
scale build-up, repeat this process.
Note: This build-up can be delayed by pouring out old water and refilling before each use.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners
•
Do not allow water to enter the power base
•
Do not immerse kettle or power base in water or other liquid.
