Automatic Switch-Off; Cleaning And Maintenance - WMF Skyline Mode D'emploi

downwards.
When using the kettle for the first time, do not use the boiled water for preparing food or beverages.

Automatic switch-off

Shortly after the water has started to boil, the automatic switch-off function will shut down the ket-
tle automatically. If the kettle is filled with only a small quantity of water, the switch-off period will
be increased.
If you require warm but not boiling water, the heating process can be interrupted at any time by
pressing the ON switch.
For functional reasons, a small amount of condensed water may run out through the openings at
the bottom of the handle and onto the rim of the base. This is due to technical reasons and does not
impair the safety of the appliance.
Safety system
If the kettle is accidentally operated without water, a thermostat protects the kettle from overheating
by switching off the appliance.
Make sure to allow the kettle to cool down before filling with water.
If the first thermostat should fail due to misuse, an additional temperature limiter offers reliable
protection.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool down. Never immerse the appliance in
water; simply wipe it over using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid and then rub dry.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The bottom of the kettle is made of stainless steel. If you notice rust stains all the same, these are only
deposits sticking to the surface. Remove these immediately with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The mesh filter in the spout can be pulled off to clean when the lid is open. To remove, press up the
top lug. When inserting, place the mesh filter centrally against the bar and then latch home to the
front.
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.
